Israel carried out an air strike near Damascus airport overnight, targeting Iranian missiles destined for Lebanon's Shia Muslim Hizbollah movement, a senior Israeli source has said.
"The attack was very close to the airport, the target was Iranian
missiles which were destined for Hizbollah," the anonymous source said.
The warplanes struck areas in and around the Syrian capital Sunday, setting
off a series of explosions as they targeted a shipment of highly accurate,
Iranian-made guided missiles believed to be on their way to Hizbollah.
The attack, the second in three days, signaled a sharp escalation of Israel's
involvement in Syria's bloody civil war.
