Israeli Defense Forces held surprise military drills today near the Lebanon border with over 2,000 soldiers.

Israeli Jets reportedly entered Syrian airspace and bombed a chemical weapons compound near Damascus this morning. The UPI reported:

The Free Syrian Army says Israeli air force jets flew over President Bashar Assad’s palace and bombed a chemical weapons site near Damascus, Maariv reported.

The report said Israeli jets entered Syrian airspace close to 6 a.m Saturday and flew over Assad’s palace in Damascus and other security facilities before striking a chemical weapons compound near the city.

The Hebrew language daily said a Syrian army air defense battery positioned in the city fired at the Israeli jets, but the aircraft left Syrian airspace unscathed. FSA rebels posted a video showing smoke rising from the headquarters for chemical weapons.

There were no reports of the extent of damage or casualties.

Neither Damascus nor Jerusalem responded to the report.

I hope they gave him the single digit salute as they streaked overhead.

Bibi didn’t waste time commenting on Jason Collins and sodomy...he took care of business.

Thanks for being a world leader with a pair, Bibi. God bless you. Maybe when you’re done running Israel, you’ll come over here and teach leadership skills to American politicians.

UMMMM Little help here... “ The report said Israeli jets entered Syrian airspace close to 6 a.m Saturday and flew over Assad’s palace in Damascus and other security facilities before striking a chemical weapons compound near the city.”

Saturday? As in LAST saturday or is this a Prophetic report? How in the freak could this have happened a few days ago without us hearing it?

I’m all for bombing Syria, but surely one can’t call that a “drill.”
