"When the Syrian Army launched the missiles that hit the Russian plane, IAF jets were already within Israeli airspace... During the strike against the target in Latakia, the Russian plane that was then hit was not within the area of the operation."

Local sources say the target appears to have been an ammunition depot at a scientific research center in Latakia, adding that it wasn't clear whether the depot was run by Syria or Iran.

Residents of the area said at least four explosions were heard, adding there appeared to be an attack on an underground compound near the airport.
