The Israelis warned they would take action against any transfer of advanced weaponry to Hizb’Allah from Assad. They once again proved they do not bluff and struck a weapons convoy.
Israeli officials on Saturday reportedly confirmed the Israeli Air Force carried out a strike against Syria and say it targeted a shipment of advanced missiles.
The officials said the shipment was not of chemical arms, but of “game changing” weapons bound for the terror group Hezbollah. One official said the target was a shipment of advanced, long-range ground-to-ground missiles.
The officials said the attack took place early Friday. It was not immediately clear where the airstrike took place, or whether the air force carried out the strike from Lebanese or Syrian airspace.
Update: The Syrian Regime is claiming that Israel struck targets near Damascus.
(Reuters) – Heavy explosions shook Damascus early on Sunday and Syrian state television said Israeli rockets had struck a military research center on the outskirts of the capital.
Here is a video of yesterday’s strike.
