Early Thursday morning, Syrian air defenses successfully intercepted several hostile objects off the country’s coast, prompting explosions that rattled the cities of Latakia and Tartus. Eyewitness reports confirmed that the sounds resonating from these locations were directly tied to the interception efforts by Syrian military forces. Footage emerging from the area also captured significant blasts on the outskirts of Jableh, further highlighting the intensity of the situation.
Prior to that, on Tuesday, a Syrian military source reported that the Israeli occupation launched an aerial assault using fighter jets and drones from the occupied Golan Heights, targeting several sites in Damascus. This attack resulted in the martyrdom of three civilians, injuries to nine others, and significant damage to private properties.
Additionally, the General Authority for Radio and Television in Syria stated that one of the martyrs was journalist Safaa Ahmed.
