Earlier, Al-Arabiya television channel also published similar information. According to that report, the attack targeted a shipment of SA-8 surface-to-air missiles destined for Hezbollah, and two targets were destroyed.

On the same day, Saudi Arabian media reported that, in addition to the targets in Latakia, Israeli aircraft also launched an attack on Damascus on October 30. Israeli spokespersons have so far declined to comment on these attacks.

Also on October 31st, numerous sources confirmed that Israeli fighter jets repeatedly violated the airspace of Syria's neighbor, Lebanon.

Regional sources, citing a statement from the Lebanese military, reported that Israeli fighter jets had carried out a series of violations of the country's airspace.

In a statement, the Lebanese army said that between 1:40 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on October 30 (local time), six Israeli fighter jets entered Lebanese airspace. The statement also said that these fighter jets conducted several aerial maneuvers in various areas and then flew out of Lebanese airspace at 5:05 p.m. heading towards the Mediterranean Sea.

Earlier that day, at 12:40 PM, two Israeli fighter jets also entered Lebanese airspace and departed after about 15 minutes. In addition, the Lebanese military recorded a series of other airspace violations by Israeli reconnaissance aircraft.
