The officials say the attack on 5 July near Latakia targeted a type of Russian-made missile called the Yakhont that Russia had sold to the Syrian government, the paper's website reported.

I'll bet Vladimir Putin hopes all the way to Hades and back they were paid for.

Another shining example of Obama and this administration
selling out Israel. Obama and his crony’s are traitors.
Every action they take is designed to weaken and harm
the US and aid our enemies. The whole lot of them need
to dangle from lamp posts.

The Israeli attack on Syrian missile depot close to Latakia could be a submarine strike.

Targeted Yakhont missiles are propelled with solid-propellant booster as first stage. Stored together even a small explosion could trigger a chain reaction.

Syria tries to avoid this disgrace by blaming al-Qaida to hit the facility “The group fired missiles of European design that caused large fires in the bases.”

That European missile could be that thing:

The Israeli Dolphin-class submarines are enlarged Type 209/212 submarines.

My guess is first a “Popeye Turbo” cruise missiles and then a small IDAS missile for battle damage control.
