Israel hits target in Syria border area

[Jroc]

LONDON (Reuters) - Israeli forces attacked a convoy on the Syrian-Lebanese border overnight, a Western diplomat and regional security sources said on Wednesday, as concern has grown in the Jewish state over the fate of Syrian chemical and advanced conventional weapons.

The sources, four in total, all of whom declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue, had no further information about what the vehicles may have been carrying, what forces were used or where precisely the attack happened.

In the run-up to the raid, Israeli officials have been warning very publicly of a threat of high-tech anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles reaching Israel's enemies in the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah from Syria. They have also echoed U.S. concerns about Syria's presumed chemical weapons arsenal.

The Lebanese army reported a heavy presence of Israeli jets over its territory throughout the night.

"There was definitely a hit in the border area," one security source said. A Western diplomat in the region who asked about the strike said "something has happened", without elaborating.

An activist in Syria who works with a network of opposition groups around the country said that she had heard of a strike in southern Syria from her colleagues but could not confirm it. A strike just inside Lebanon would appear a less diplomatically explosive option for Israel to avoid provoking Syrian ally Iran.

Israeli Vice Premier Silvan Shalom said on Sunday that any sign that Syria's grip on its chemical weapons was slipping, as President Bashar al-Assad fights rebels trying to overthrow him, could trigger Israeli intervention.

Israeli sources said on Tuesday that Syria's advanced conventional weapons would represent as much of a threat to Israel as its chemical arms should they fall into the hands of Islamist rebels or Hezbollah guerrillas based in Lebanon.

Indeed, confirmed.

Though it's still hush hush and not completely clear.

BRAVO ISRAEL! It's about time Israel stop trying to placate Palestinians & just protect & defend Israel's citizens from all the neighboring terrrorists against Israel.

"More than 60,000 people have been killed since the conflict began, according to the U.N.

"Activists also said two cars packed with explosives blew up near a military intelligence building in the Syrian-controlled part of the Golan Heights, killing eight. Most of the dead were members of the Syrian military, the Observatory said.

"The Syrian government had no comment on the attacks, which occurred Thursday night in the town of Quneitra, and nobody claimed responsibility for them.

"Car bombs and suicide attacks targeting Syrian troops and government institutions have been the hallmark of Islamic militants fighting in Syria alongside rebels trying to topple Assad.

"Quneitra is on the cease-fire line between Syria and Israel, which controls most of the Golan Heights after capturing the strategic territory from Syria in the 1967 war."

Follow the money, Einstein.

WTF does that have to do with what we're talking about ??
Holy deflection Batman !

Hit Syria now while the faux reaction to the ASSSSad regime is still in effect. However, Israel need to hit both sides the Al Qaeda rebels and the ASSSSad regime. The Syrian army has it's had filled, they won't attack Israel.

Maybe this will provoke Iran to attack, then Israel and the US (guarantee if Iran makes the first move were going to strike those Persian Whores) will launch a DEVASTATING air and missile strike. Many dead Persian whores!

Roll out of bed again, Georgie Boy, and ran to your computer to start your day? I wonder what you would do if you didn't have forums to run around to. What in the world has your response to do with the UPI article about Yemen seizing that cargo of arms from Iran? Did you feel that you had to throw Israel into this when the article was about Yemen and Iran and make yourself feel good and show the readers that Wikipedia is your best friend in the world?

The reason Israel or the US don't whack Assad and his regime now is because they know the Islamist animals and the civil war that will ensue that come afterwards will result in more dead people and faster, and it will be harder to keep track of their WMD's.

Not that tools like you have the slightest concern for dead civilians.

 

[Hossfly]

I guess Georgie Boy doesn't realize that he is a tool for the Islamic terroristgroups like Al Qaeda. Aren't you at least grateful, Georgie Boy, that at least these terrorists have been stopped in Mali by the French, and the local people are praising the French? No doubt you will tell the local people that they are just tools for the French. And, Georgie Boy, do you honestly think that everyone on this forum thinks you are concerned for the innocent people these terrorists have killed. As long as you can't blame the U.S. or Israel for this, you just close your eyes.

Now, of course, Georgie Boy is going to give us all the number of Mali terrorists who were trained and armed by the U.S. in Libya. Go ahead, Georgie Boy, tell us all about it since you appear so knowledgeable. You must have the exact number. I think the blind squirrel is you, Georgie Boy, because you don't seem to appreciate the country in which you are living. You will do everything to put it down. I suggest that next time they have a swearing in of new citizens, you hike down to where they take the oath in your city and see how happy they are to now be citizens of this country. While you only see evil, they see peace, prosperity and happiness coming their way from being a citizen of this country. What is your excuse for not appreciating living in this country? I think many of the readers can figure out that Georgie Boy isn't happy that the ordinary citizens of Mali are appreciative that the French have given them some relief from the terrorists. He right away goes into his shtick about the U.S. training and arming these terrorists.
