Israeli strikes hit the Syrian coastal province of Latakia today, reports Agence France-Presse. The information was confirmed by the SANA agency and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The strikes were carried out in the vicinity of the port of Al-Abyad and the city of Latakia, and the target was an ammunition depot in the northern part of the province, BTA reports.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on military sites in Syria since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime on December 8, trying to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of the new authorities, which Israel defines as jihadists, AFP recalls.
At the same time, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that in an Israeli strike in the city of Yokhmor al-Shaqif In southern Lebanon, a car was hit and three people were killed.
The Israeli military said that "several Hezbollah terrorists" were identified while handing over weapons in the Yokhmor area and a strike was carried out against them.
On November 27, after a two-month war, Israel signed a ceasefire agreement with the Iranian-backed Lebanese Islamist movement. “Hezbollah“ opened a new front against Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian movement “Hamas“ at the beginning of the Gaza war in October 2023.
Despite the ceasefire, Israeli forces continue to carry out strikes in Lebanon targeting “Hezbollah“ infrastructure or members. Under the terms of the ceasefire, all members of the Shiite group must withdraw north of the Litani River and dismantle their military infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
