Eyewitnesses: IAF struck Syrian targets near Lebanon border

The Israeli Air Force struck four targets in Jadidat Yabus near the Syrian-Lebanese border, eyewitnesses told the al-Mustakbal television network.

According to the report, the Air Force hit targets belonging to the Syrian army and located on Syrian territory. (Roee Nahmias)

That's GOOD! I may have to print it out, and have it be next after my tagline one. To the point and very informative! ;-)

[i_dont_chat]

It's the dreaded DOMINO effect.

[Fitzcarraldo]

I don't think they hit Syria itself - just some Syrian installations in Lebanon.

Someone noted that the Syrian statement of support for Hezbollah yesterday did NOT come from Assad but the Baath party command.

The Iranians may have staged a palace coup.

Sorry, it's early....by next, I meant in the back window of my car.

Sometimes, my mind doesn't catch up with my fingers typing. ;-)

Israel says has only bombed in Lebanese territory

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli military said on Saturday it had only carried out bombing raids on Lebanese territory and not inside Syria after reports of attacks very close to the Syrian border.

"It's very important to understand that we have only targeted bridges and access points in Lebanon," an army spokeswoman said. "We have not bombed anything in Syria."

Earlier witnesses said Israeli warplanes had bombed a Lebanese-Syrian border crossing point, indicating that air strikes were straying close to Syrian territory.

Combined with a nice "trickle down" effect. (Terrorist's blood ;-)

[Fitzcarraldo]

What the Syrians and Iranians tell their own people courld be at variance with this.

[ASA Vet]

So we now have two news outlets confirming a story put out by a third.
Will CNN & FOX put out in a few minutes that the original source corrected or retracted?
Until DEBKA tells us what happened I guess we won't know for sure. < /sarc >

[elhombrelibre]

As you know, they do this all the time. But I do think in this case, at least at FOX, they said there were reports, which isn't exactly confirmation. It merely states that someone is reporting it.

[elhombrelibre]

CNN is quoting IDF sources. That ups the likelihood that the report is accurate in my mind.

[ASA Vet]

There's a new thread now starting it all over again. A quick check on keyword 2006israelwar would have shown the new threads poster it had already been posted.

[bnelson44]

What, exactly is CNN saying? Got a link?

[DoughtyOne]

Now that Syria is on notice, that it's homeland isn't out of bounds, I wonder what it's leadership will be saying on TV.

[Sender]

Axis to ashes, dust to dust.

[monkapotamus]

[ohioWfan]

Is this verified? Syrian targets?

[Pikachu_Dad]

I wonder how are troops are repositioning with all this stuff flying around down there.

Do they get ready for Iran comming over the border? Or the Syrians? Or both?

[NY Attitude]

Time for the islamofascists to get taught another lesson about f***ing with the bull.

Bashir, they are coming for you....

Bashir feels safe.
