Israel Strikes Western Syria, Civilian Reported Killed
- The Israeli military struck weapon storage facilities near Latakia, Syria, in a late Friday airstrike that killed one civilian and injured three people.
- The strike came after indirect discussions earlier in May involving Israel and Syria’s temporary leadership, aimed at easing the prolonged tensions stemming from their ongoing technical state of war since 1948.
- The targeted locations included missile storage sites near Syria’s Mediterranean coast that Israel identified as threats to the navigation rights of both Israeli and international vessels.
- Israel’s Defense Minister Katz stated the military attacked and destroyed strategic weapons, pledging, "We will continue to defend Israel's security" and remove all threats.
- The strike ended nearly a month of relative calm in western Syria and signaled Israel's intent to maintain freedom of action amid ongoing rivalry with Syria's new administration.
