Zionist Israel Strikes“Military Sites” In Syria's Coastal Provinces

(MENAFN- Nam News Network) DAMASCUS/JERUSALEM, May 31 (NNN-SANA/MA'AN) – Zionist Israel carried out airstrikes late yesterday, on multiple military targets in Syria's coastal provinces of Tartus and Latakia, including a former special forces headquarters and military positions, near civilian areas, according to Syrian state media and a war monitor.

In Tartus, the airstrikes targeted a military facility, formerly used by special forces, as well as, sites in the al-Wuhaib industrial area and the al-Blata barracks, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor.

State-run al-Ikhbariya TV reported that, Zionist warplanes hit the village of Zama in the Jableh countryside, as well as, military sites in the Mina al-Bayda port area, and the 107th Brigade base in neighbouring Latakia province.

The Zionist Defence Forces said in a statement that, it attacked“weapon storage facilities in Latakia last night.”

It added that, the facilities contained“missiles that posed a threat to international and Israeli maritime freedom of navigation.”

There were no immediate reports of casualties, and Syrian defence authorities had not issued an official statement.

The strikes come amid heightened regional tensions, and follow a series of Israeli raids across Syria in recent months, some of which have resulted in casualties and the destruction of air defence systems or weapons depots.– NNN-SANA/MA'AN
