Israeli strikes on Syria left up to six people died on Friday as Israel escalated its military response to four rockets landing on its territory a day earlier.
Up to five men were killed in a car after it was struck while travelling near the frontier of the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, the Syrian army said, in what appeared to be a second wave of Israeli retaliatory action following a series of late night raids on Thursday. Syrian state television said the strike had killed "five unarmed civilians", but hte UK-based Syrian Conservatory for Human Rights said the dead included two members of a pro-Syrian government militia.
The Israeli army said it had targeted a "terror cell" that it said was responsible for rocket fire that landed inside Israel.
Ynet, an Israel news site, cited an Israeli army officer as saying the men were members of Islamic Jihad acting "under Israeli auspices". The attack occurred between six and nine miles inside Syrian territory, the report said.

The terrorists were, “acting under Israeli auspices”? Is this a typo, or is the writer letting his Jew-hatred show?
Just another way of saying it was Israel’s fault.
Not necessarily either. It simply means that they were there under the authority of Israel. Possibly a green-card type situation.
It’s a slow but good start.
No, it was supposed to say, “acting under Syrian auspices” because that is the reasoning for Israel calling out the Iranians operating in Syria earlier in their press release. Their point was, no matter the people behind any attack, where it originates places the responsibility on that government - namely Syria.
It was a Freudian slip by the British journalist.
Read the whole article. It reeks with globalist anti-Semitism.
Okay, thanks. I didn't see the earlier press release. I figured something just got lost in translation somewhere.
A football cheer comes to mind:
Hit ‘em again,
Hit ‘em again
Harder - HARDER!
Iranian auspices. I rather doubt that the Israelis are hiring terrorists to lob rockets at their own territory.
/bingo
Thanks elhombrelibre. This one should be called The Obama War.
*Israeli strikes on Syria left up to six people died on Friday*
Um.....what?
I know. I saw that. I guess the editor didn’t know verb should be past tense.
