Israeli Warplanes Bomb Syria, Killing 2

HeadlineJan 31, 2013

Israel has carried out a bombing inside of Syria, killing two people. The Syrian government says Israeli fighter jets entered Syrian airspace at dawn on Wednesday and launched strikes. The U.S. government has alleged Israel was hitting a convoy carrying weapons for Hezbollah in Lebanon, but Syria says the target was in fact a military research site near Damascus. It was the first known Israeli attack inside Syrian territory since 2007, when Israeli warplanes bombed a military site in eastern Syria.
