About a 8 hours ago Israeli jets bombed a convoy on Syria's border with Lebanon. The target was trucks filled with arms headed to Lebanon from Syria. At the time it was unsure whether or not it was officially inside the border of Syria. This incident was being painted as a warning and a message to
Syria and Hezbollah not to engage in the transfer of powerful weapons.
But very recently Syria has stated that Israeli jets crossed into Syria below the radar level at dawn and hit a military research center in Jamraya, near Damascus.
"Israeli fighter jets violated our airspace at dawn today and carried
out a direct strike on a scientific research centre in charge of
raising our level of resistance and self-defence,"[sic] the army's general
command said in a statement carried by state news agency SANA on
Wednesday evening.
Aljazeera is reporting that Israel and the US have both declined to comment on the recent events. Also, Lebanon is reporting a a large increase in Israeli jets and patrols on their borders with Israel.
More of that report can be found at AlJazeera
