Fires break out as Israel strikes Latakia
Fires broke out in the Syrian port city of Latakia on October 17th following an Israeli strike, according to the Arab News via Reuters.
Firefighters are working on extinguishing the fires according to SANA, the Syrian state news outlet that reported the strike. It was also reported that Syria’s air defence had confronted Israeli targets over Latakia.
Israel has been bombing Syria for years, but has ramped up its attacks in the country since the war in Gaza began.
