LATAKIA, Syria, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- Israel launched a missile attack at the commercial seaport of Syria's coastal city of Latakia on early Tuesday, leaving damages to the container terminal and caused a huge fire.
It is the second such Israeli attack hitting the Syrian port this month following the Dec. 7 strike. Israel frequently fires missiles on Syria on the pretext that it targets the Iranian-backed militia inside the country, and Syria has repeatedly called for international pressure on Israel to stop its acts of violating Syria's sovereignty.
