Israel has again launched an airstrike on a Syrian target, this time a shipment of highly accurate, Iranian-made guided missiles believed to be on their way to Hezbollah, according to various sources.

Yesterday Israeli officials confirmed that it launched an airstrike into the war-torn country on Friday, targeting a "game-changing" shipment of advanced missiles bound for the Lebanese militants.
And the Associated Press reports that anonymous Israeli officials have confirmed Israel launched an airstrike in the capital Damascus early Sunday but did not give more precise details of its location.
i repeat i'm thanking God that republican saber wavers are not in the cockpit of American military, we would be readinf about the casualties today while the right wing gov't lies to us about what's really happening not like we have not seen this before now with more rabid T-Per's in the chairs i think it would make G W Bush look like twinkle toes.
Syria condemned the strikes, which they say aim "to give direct military support to terrorist groups" fighting the government, referring to anti-government fighters.
According to CNN, Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal al Mekdad said the attack amounted to a "declaration of war" by Israel, representing an alliance between the country and Islamic terrorists.
He added that Syria would retaliate against Israel in its own time and way.
The country's Foreign Ministry also said in a letter sent to the UN and its Security Council that the "Israeli aggression" killed and wounded several people and "caused widespread destruction."
are the Syrian merchants of death crying foul?  they imply terrorist attacks with that "when you least expect it, expect it", rhetoric.  i worry how much this will include us, will Israel can handle this on their own, given the fact they have been flexing our muscles for us thats up in the air.
