Launch missiles at Syria or Launch missiles on Syria

Is it "to launch missiles at Syria" or "to launch missiles on Syria"?

If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?

If not, when should I use each of them?

Would you please give me a few examples?

By the way, is "to launch" the right verb to use in the above phrases?

Thank you.
