Attack apparently targeted site of weapons Israel fears could be given to Hezbollah movement, US media reported.
Israel has launched an airstrike into Syria, apparently targeting a suspected weapons site, the Associated Press reported, citing US officials.
The strike occurred overnight on Thursday into Friday, the officials told the AP. It did not appear that a chemical weapons site was targeted, the officials said, and one official said the strike appeared to have hit a warehouse. The US officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the matter publicly. Israel has targeted weapons in the past that it believes are being delivered to the Lebanon-based movement Hezbollah. Earlier this week, Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said his group would assist Syrian President Bashar Assad if needed in the effort to put down a 2-year-old uprising. Israeli embassy spokesman Aaron Sagui would not comment on Friday night specifically on the report of an Israeli strike into Syria.
