Damascus: Israeli air strikes hit the Syrian port of Latakia early Tuesday, according to Syrian state media, in a rare attack targeting key facilities.

“Around 1.23am today (3.23am UAE), the Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression with several missiles,” SANA news agency quoted a military source as saying.

The attack targeted the port’s container yard, causing a number of containers to catch fire but without causing casualties, it said.
