I like the way they put it “Israel attacks Syria”

not “Israel destroys convoy of missiles headed toward them”

[Navy Patriot]

Although we don't know the route of the convoy or the location of the strike, Lebanon is to the south of Syria and Turkey is to the north.

Israel doesn't usually make mistakes in intelligence and certainly knows north from south, so indications are that Syria may have been moving the missiles toward Israel.
