CNN: Israel conducts airstrikes into Syria
Ex-PH2 sends us a link to a CNN story about Israel getting fed up with the threat of incursions by Hezbollah into Israel and decided to conduct some pre-emptive airstrikes into Syria;
One official said the United States had limited information so far and could not yet confirm those are the specific warplanes that conducted a strike. Based on initial indications, the U.S. does not believe Israeli warplanes entered Syrian airspace to conduct the strikes.
Syria’s Orthodox Christians are worriedBoth officials said there is no reason to believe Israel struck at a chemical weapons storage facilities. The Israelis have long said they would strike at any targets that prove to be the transfer of any kinds of weapons to Hezbollah or other terrorist groups, as well as at any effort to smuggle Syrian weapons into Lebanon that could threaten Israel.
The Lebanese army website listed 16 flights by Israeli warplanes penetrating Lebanon’s airspace from Thursday evening through Friday afternoon local time.
Well, with Iran resupplying Hezbollah, using the Syrian rebellion as an excuse who can blame Israel?

See, if the ‘official’ remarks come from the WH, I tend to believe the Israelis.
I’d also believe the Lebanese, in this case.
Confirmed on the news this morning. WH has said nothing. Maybe Bodaprez isn’t up yet.
They are doing what they have to do.
Period.
Go Israel.
When the Israelis say “Never Again” They mean it.
Ex-PH2 – Barry is watching ESPN, so he can’t be bothered with trivial things like what Israel is up to.
I think he maybe went on a trip somewhere this morning. Car radio is tuned to Moldy Oldies station.
Isn’t the Preezy down in Meh-hee-co, blaming American gun owners for Meh-hee-cans killing their countrymen?
