Israel attacks Syrian army sites after Golan bombing
Source: BBC
Israel says it has attacked several Syrian military sites in retaliation for a bombing that wounded four of its troops in the occupied Golan Heights.
Among the targets were a headquarters, a training facility and artillery batteries, the Israeli military said.
The Syrian army had "aided and abetted" the attack on a patrol near the ceasefire line on Tuesday, it added.
There has been no comment yet on the air strikes from Syria and it is not clear if there were any casualties.
The Israeli air force has conducted several aerial attacks on Syria since the uprising began three years ago.

(1,333 posts)The Syria Army starts winning the war. Its a war to keep the fighting going on in hope that the Iran supported regime is defeated and Al Qaeda takes over or the country is completely destroyed.
Its sad what they are going to that country

And pretty much anyone would tell you that If Israel and Pakistan DID get into a war, Israel would wipe the floor with them unless they decided to use nukes.

(7,309 posts)... Israel engages upon Syria?
The Israeli government is not the innocent victim it likes to portray.
Besides, the Golan Heights are illegally occupied land.
