Israeli airstrikes hit Syria’s coastal region

Shafaq News/ The Israeli military announced its fighter jets carried out a series of airstrikes on Syria’s coastal region of Latakia.

In a statement, the Israeli army said the strikes targeted land-to-sea missiles “that hinder our freedom of movement in the Mediterranean Sea,” as well as components of surface-to-air missile systems.

One civilian was killed and three others were injured, Latakia Governer announced.

Syrian state television reported that “Israeli occupation warplanes launched an airstrike on sites near the village of Zama in the countryside of Jableh, south of Latakia.”

The attacks mark the first Israeli strikes in Syria in a month and come amid reports earlier this May that Syria and Israel had entered indirect negotiations to ease tensions.
