#Israel is ending 2021 with an attack against #Syria when its Jets launched missiles against the #Latakia port causing serious damage. Israel is violating the international law, repeatedly attacking a sovereign country. The attack against Latakia is the second this month. 
#Israel rarely strikes close to #Latakia, let alone inside the terminal, as #Russia maintains a base of operations nearby. Tuesday’s attack, at 02:15 local time is larger than the strike earlier this month. Israeli jets came from the Mediterranean Sea.
The explosions at #Latakia port could be heard in Tartus coastal city, 80 kilometres away. Ambulances were rushed to the scene and no info on casualties yet. The Syrian air defences were activated. The Latakia port is vital to the Syrian economy, already under harsh sanctions.
#Israel PM Naftali Bennett alluded to the attack, saying that he is "pushing back on the bad forces of this region day and night.”
Israel carried out over 1500 attacks against a sovereign state, #Syria, without triggering any reaction from the international community.
