Israel Strikes in Syria For the Fifth Time Since 2011
[quote](CNN) -- Israeli warplanes struck a military base near the Syrian port city of Latakia this week, an Obama administration official told CNN on Thursday.
An explosion at a missile storage site in the area was reported in the Middle Eastern press, but an attack has not been confirmed by the Israeli government.
The target, according to the Obama administration official, was missiles and related equipment the Israelis felt might be transferred to the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah. The official declined to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information.[/quote]
It appears Israel took out another missile shipment to Hezbollah either yesterday or today. Like the title states, this is the fifth time Israel has launched an airstrike in Syria to take out arms shipments headed for Hezbollah.

What do you make of this? What are your thoughts on Israeli's 'strategy' regarding these airstrikes? What are your thoughts on the general topic of the Syrian Civil War?

1 ReplyI think its good that Syria is interdicting missile shipments such as those, if those terrorists get there hands on Russian air to air missiles like the S-300 or any in that class for that matter, everyone is going to have a problem. As for what they have been doing for the past 3 years, it is nothing new and doesn't surprise me at all, it certainly helps them stay safer.
