Israeli forces attacked a target on the Syrian-Lebanese border overnight, Western diplomats and regional security sources said on Wednesday.

Is this a way to get Syria to retaliate so that the West can use their Patriot Missiles.
Syria has been under attack by USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, France and UK to name a few countries for 2 years now. These countries do not care how many people they kill, just to take over the country.
Every single death in Syria is the result of this intervention by the west. Leaders of these countries have the blood on their hands for every death and everyone of them is a war criminal.
The Israel Defense Forces refused to confirm or deny the report. “We do not comment on reports of this kind,” an IDF spokeswoman said.
The reported attack came soon after the Lebanese media said that Israel Air Force jets had flown over Lebanon’s airspace in three separate missions late Tuesday and early Wednesday. There was no confirmation of that report from Israel, either.
Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has condemned the Israeli regime’s aerial assault that targeted a research centre near the Syrian capital.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Hezbollah described the Israeli regime’s attack on Syria as “barbaric,” saying it “strongly condemns this new Zionist aggression,” which revealed its true intention towards Lebanon’s neighbor.
On Wednesday, the Syrian army said two people were killed and five others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a research center in Jamraya, near the capital, Damascus. Israel declined to comment on the issue.
The airstrike “openly reveals [Israel’s] motives toward [unrest] in Syria over the past two years and the criminal thinking aimed at destroying Syria and its army and eliminating its pivotal resistance and rejectionist role to pave the way for unfolding the chapters of a major conspiracy against [Syria] and against our Arab and Muslim peoples,” the statement said.
The resistance movement further called for widespread condemnation of the attack.
“What happened in Syria … requires a massive, widespread condemnation campaign by the international community and all Arab and Islamic countries,” the statement read.
Hezbollah also reiterated its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and urged caution over the airstrike.
“Hezbollah which expresses full solidarity with Syria, its army and people, underlines the need for some to be aware of the dangers behind the attack.”
Earlier in the day, Russia also expressed concerns about the incident, saying, “If this information is confirmed, then we are dealing with unprovoked strikes against targets located on the territory of a sovereign state, which brazenly infringes on the UN Charter and is unacceptable, no matter the motive used for its justification.”
Taken from several sources
How the story changes from country to country, from Israel comes the story that the bombing was just inside the Syrian Border with Lebanon, but in Syria the Bombing was near Damascus.
Attacking a country like this is a declaration of war. Israel and USA are determined to start WW3.
They are probably doing this themselves just to provoke trouble for Israel and give them a reason to attack Israel. They think if they have the rest of the world behind them, then that will be A-OK. Why are we supplying this idiots with weapons, and shelling out billions of dollars that we DO NOT HAVE????
Yes, it was always predicted that these evil governments were intent on starting WW3. Supporters of Syria will need to proceed with extreme caution and not play into their hands.
