The Arab media reports the Israel Air Force conducted a strike against a military target in Damascus. There is silence from government officials in Israel amid reports in the media of the strike. The reported strike occurred on 29 Cheshvan, Tuesday night to Wednesday morning. A Hizbullah weapons convoy was eliminated from the air as it traveled on the Damascus-Beirut Highway. Arabic media reports four explosions were heard when the planes struck at 1:15PM local time.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman announced they would not tolerate any attempt to attack IDF soldiers from across the border, delivering a stern warning to Syria that Israel will not hesitate to act.
Their warnings came after a cross-border shooting attack earlier in the week aimed at Golani Brigade soldiers. B’chasdei Hashem, no one was killed or wounded. The IDF retaliated, bombing an ISIS position in Syria, killing four terrorists.
