Israeli warplanes struck a target inside the Syrian port city of Latakia Thursday night, a senior administration official confirms to Fox News.

The official did not specify what the target was, but said there was at least one. 

The Associated Press reports the target was Russian-made SA-125 missiles.

At least twice earlier this year Israel launched airstrikes on shipments of missiles inside Syria.
