Israeli jets allegedly struck targets near the Syrian capital overnight on Wednesday, reportedly a weapons shipment to the Shiite militant group Hezbollah, Lebanese media reported.

Syrian media reported witnesses hearing "loud explosion sounds" in the early morning hours.

According to Lebanese media, the targets that were hit around 3.00 a.m. were affiliated with the Assad regime and were the regime army's 3rd Division in the al-Katif suburbs of the capital.

The report also claimed that the IDF struck from within Lebanon, circling the Beqaa Valley and Baalbek, so as not to be blocked by the Russian defense systems operating in the area.

But but I thought the Hezbollah were the good guys. Why is Israel killing the good guys?

The Mossad placed a tracking devise in Senator McCain’s upper left jawbone. He led the Israelis directly to the locations of all Israel’s enemies 9n the area. /s

I saw an article the other day, if I could find it now. Almost all of these strikes that Israel has conducted into Syria is on weapons being funneled to Hezbollah and I gather Hamas and other sympathetic parties so they can attack Israel. Here, I found it:

Lebanese Media: Hezbollah Given “Game-Changing” Iranian Arms, Has Tunnels on Israeli Border
http://www.thetower.org/4589-lebanese-media-hezbollah-given-game-changing-iranian-arms-has-tunnels-on-israeli-border/

Read more on the weapons in the article.

So, these strikes are probably good things, Hez and the others are likely getting better weapons. That would seem to make sense.

Hezbollah’s never been good. Well, except maybe in the bloodshot eyes of vodka-sotten basement-troll living in a room wallpapered with half-naked Putin pinups.
