I REALLY TRY TO FOLLOW CURRENT EVENTS

so I was very surprised to learn Israel has carried out 5 (five) military strikes inside Syria.  I don't see how I could have missed all the previous attacks.
Israeli Warplanes Strike Inside Syria for Fifth Time This Year

Israeli warplanes conducted an airstrike early today on a Syrian military facility near the northern Syrian port city of Latakia along the Mediterranean coast, a U.S. official confirms to ABC News.

The attack is believed to be the fifth airstrike conducted by Israel inside Syria this year. Like the earlier airstrikes, the official said the latest attack presumably targeted advanced Russian missile weapons systems headed to the extremist group Hezbollah based in Lebanon.

An Israeli source also confirmed the attack to ABC News which like the four previous attacks this year has not been acknowledged by the Israeli government.
The Jerusalem Post plays dumb:
It is unclear who is behind the explosion or its purpose. There were no reports of casualties.
