Vanessa BergGUEST
While Israeli ground forces were suffering severe setbacks, something very different was happening at sea.
Vanessa BergGUEST
During the night of October sixth and seventh, Israeli missile boats engaged Syrian naval vessels near the port of Latakia.
Vanessa BergGUEST
The battle became the first naval engagement in history between missile armed boats using ship to ship missiles.
Vanessa BergGUEST
In the years preceding the war, the Israeli Navy had developed an extensive program involving Gabriel anti-ship missiles, electronic countermeasures, and new tactics.
Brandon WeichertHOST
scene.
Brandon WeichertHOST
If it's an airbase, that would be the Russian airbase in Latakia? Yeah, yeah.
Brandon WeichertHOST
No, no, no.
Scott HortonGUEST
Yeah, yeah.
Scott HortonGUEST
It was a military base.
Scott HortonGUEST
Exactly, in Latakia.
Scott HortonGUEST
The Manas thing is Kyrgyzstan or some crap.
Scott HortonGUEST
Don't listen to me.
Conrad FranzHOST
Russian drones struck the Turkish cargo vessel Mariam M.
Conrad FranzHOST
In the Danube Delta, I believe in Romanian waters potentially, the vessel had departed from Latakia, Syria and was en route to Galati, Romania.
Conrad FranzHOST
The ship's bridge was completely destroyed.
Conrad FranzHOST
The vessel's captain and maritime pilot were killed with 13 others injured.
Feras KilaniCORRESPONDENT
On the 8th of December and after, the majority or the most important did with Assad.
Feras KilaniCORRESPONDENT
They kept flying from the Russian base in Latakia to Russia.
Feras KilaniCORRESPONDENT
So the biggest and the most important group is there.
Feras KilaniCORRESPONDENT
But others who managed to cross illegally to Lebanon, and we believe that there are still very big names of them there.

Tess Malinder HeronCORRESPONDENT
Some were saying that in every town in Syria, there are still Assad loyalists hiding in plain sight.
Tess Malinder HeronCORRESPONDENT
And some were even calling for revenge attacks.
Tess Malinder HeronCORRESPONDENT
There were these leaflets distributed in Latakia, which is the Alawite heartland, saying if you're an Assad loyalist, leave or we'll come and take care of you.
Tess Malinder HeronCORRESPONDENT
I think there's a real sense of urgency that these people need to get justice imminently.
Adam LucenteHOST
A fourth person was acquitted, Agence France-Presse and state media reported.
Adam LucenteHOST
The sentences are the first handed down in relation to the violence in March 2025 in the Latakia and Tartus provinces.
Adam LucenteHOST
More than 1,400 people were killed, most of them Alawite civilians at the hands of government and government-affiliated forces, according to multiple reports.
Adam LucenteHOST
In other news, the Yemeni army said late Wednesday that it bombed Houthi positions in the embattled Taiz province, while Reuters reported a growing number of Yemenis are sailing to Africa to avoid the war.
Werd BadawiHOST
There's going to be a crisis and you just have to deal with it.
Werd BadawiHOST
But I think from his perspective, look, it's easier said than done because he has diversified in a way where he owns multiple conglomerates that he can hedge conflicts against, whether it's his Armani hotels that he has a franchise for, whether it's Eagle Hills that's operating in Europe and is trying to win contracts in Montenegro with their new projects, or him in Latakia in Syria.
Werd BadawiHOST
So I think it does make sense for him to say, do you know what was a crazy discovery for me? The story that we did yesterday with the twin brothers, the al-Khayyat Qatari, originally Syrian brothers, it's that one of them is trying to build the Albania resort with Jared Kushner.
Werd BadawiHOST
And it's like, these people are everywhere.
speaker_0HOST
Vous vous sentez syrien ?
Rodolphe SaadéGUEST
J'ai vécu une année quand j'étais, je crois que je devais avoir six ou sept ans, à Lattaquié.
speaker_0HOST
La famille vient de la, de la ville de Lattaquié.
Rodolphe SaadéGUEST
Mon, mon, mon grand-père paternel est de Lattaquié.
Rodolphe SaadéGUEST
Euh, il a vécu toute sa vie, euh, à Lattaquié.
Rodolphe SaadéGUEST
Il avait des, des exploitations agricoles.
Rodolphe SaadéGUEST
Euh, et donc, c'est un peu comme le, le Liban, c'est des pays que je connais et c'est des pays qui ont un potentiel énorme.
Vanessa BeeleyGUEST
The other question is whether the protests are being engineered, and we'll get onto that right now.
Vanessa BeeleyGUEST
Um, but first of all, this was an image that was sent to me that was found in Turkish media, apparently taken from, um, a secret Ministry of Defense presentation, which, as you can see, shows very clearly, if you, if you bring it in closer, the annexation of Syrian territory from the north all the way down to Latakia on the coast.
Vanessa BeeleyGUEST
So the entire coastal area, which of course does tie in with the Mavi Vatan, or the Blue Homeland doctrine that Erdoğan is attempting to bring to fruition, which of course is the control of the Eastern Mediterranean, uh, and the Aegean seas, which brings him into conflict with Greece.
Vanessa BeeleyGUEST
Hence why Greece and Cyprus and Israel are forming a coalition to deal with that part of it.
Werd BadawiHOST
They have a trend.
Werd BadawiHOST
Their younger brother, Mohammed Al Khayat, I saw him in the photos with Mohammed Al Abbar in Latakia in Syria.
Abdul Majid AwanHOST
Nice.
Werd BadawiHOST
So this is what I mean when I say these people are everywhere.
Nadim NassarGUEST
Well, I come from the Mediterranean Sea.
Nadim NassarGUEST
Latakia, where I grew up, is a port city of Syria, as you know.
Nadim NassarGUEST
I mean, my favourite dish of Latakia is called in Arabic Sayyadiya, which means the fisherman dish.
Nadim NassarGUEST
I'm sure Dennis knows it very well.
Nadim NassarGUEST
And it's rice and fish.
38 MINS LATER
Nadim NassarGUEST
They were so friendly with each other and the selfies and the social media.
Nadim NassarGUEST
Who cares? And all the eyes broke.
Nadim NassarGUEST
And suddenly I realized, oh my goodness, what are the denominations doing with young people? So we started a revolution in Latakia.
