Israeli Excursion Into Syrian Airspace To Take Out Iranian Weapons

A few days ago there were reports that Israeli jets violated Syrian airspace. What was not reported was why. Apparently some Iranian weapons found their way to the Syria/Israel border. Imagine that. So Israel once again took the needed steps to protect herself from attack.

CNN news network reported Tuesday that the incident in which Israeli planes reportedly invaded Syrian airspace was actually an attack on Iranian weapons transferred to Syria.

According to the report, the incident involved an aerial operation that also included ground forces that were meant to mark targets or inspect the damage caused by the attack.

It was also reported that the operation left "a great hole in the ground" in the Syrian desert. The report was based mainly on sources in the American government and CNN said that Israel was satisfied with the operation's results.

The report said Israel apparently targeted a type of weapon transferred through Syria to Hizbullah from Iran.
