More suspected Israeli airstrikes hit Syria early this morning.
Syrian air defenses responded to an Israeli missile attack at around 2:20 a.m. local time in the coastal region of Latakia. One civilian died and six others were injured. The Syrian military downed some of the missiles, but the strike hit a civilian plastic factory, according to the official Syrian state media outlet SANA.
