Gateway Pundit ^ | April 30, 2013 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 04/30/2013 1:29:52 PM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

Good, but they can expect no help from this country’s anti-Jewish leadership.

Exactly...It was almost unbelievable that two missiles were launched at an airliner and the airliner maneuvered and they missed.

Good for Bibi!!! A true leader and man. Don’t have to wonder where his “red line” runs.

If true, Israel is right to destroy chemical weapons, but Assad isn’t the worst of their problems. If the FSA gets into power, expect the MB and AQ to get stronger.

So the Al Qaeda-linked rebels and the Israelis are both fighting the same guy. Strange bedfellows, indeed!

Gutsy! Could be dangerous .. if winds are going toward Israel. But .. I’m confident Israel was smart enough to take that into consideration.

Isaiah 17:1 - Woe to Damascus. It has been taken away from being a city, it has become a ruinous heap!

Paying attention, O? That’s what you do when somebody crosses a “red line” and threatens your country. Not yammer on about calculus and investigating this or that.

Story refers to a “chemical weapons compound” and “headquarters of chemical weapons” interchangeably.

What does one or both of those mean? A chemical weapons production facility? Or, chemical weapons storage facility?
