Second attack in December 2021 | Israeli missiles hit weapons shipment at Lattakia port

SOHR activists have reported hearing loud explosions in Lattakia city and its suburbs on the Syrian coastline in the early hours of Tuesday morning, caused by rocket fire by Israel on weapons and ammunition containers, but it is not known yet if the targeted shipment was of Iranian forces or not.

This attack is the 29th Israeli attack on Syrian territory since early 2021.

These huge explosions and fires raging across the port have ignited panic among the inhabitants of Latakia city, causing massive material damages at the port and tourist buildings there.

It is worth noting that Russia has taken no action regarding the Israeli attacks which hit the port which is located nearly 15 km away from the Russian base “Hamimim” southeast of Lattakia city, as “S300” air defense missiles has not intercepted the Israeli missiles.

Russia seeks to control Lattakia port after previously controlling Tartous port.

On December 7, SOHR activists reported that Israeli fighter jets have bombarded several missiles on the port of the coastal city of Lattakia targeting Irian weapons carriers.

The Israeli attack caused severe material loses, but no casualties were reported about casualties yet.
