[quote]Israel conducted a rare airstrike on a military target inside Syria, foreign officials and Syrian state TV said Wednesday, amid fears President Bashar Assad's regime is providing weapons to the Islamic militant group Hezbollah.
A statement from the Syrian military read aloud on state TV confirmed the strike, saying the jets bombed a military research center in the area of Jamraya, northwest of the capital, Damascus.
The statement said the center was responsible for "raising the level of resistance and self-defense" of Syria's military. It said the strike destroyed the center and a nearby building, killing two workers and wounding five others.
U.S. and regional security officials reported the strike earlier Wednesday but did not say exactly where it took place.
Regional security officials said Israel had been planning in the days leading up to the airstrike to hit a shipment of weapons bound for Hezbollah, Lebanon's most powerful military force. Among Israeli officials' chief fears is that Assad will pass chemical weapons or sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles to Hezbollah — something that could change the balance of power in the region and greatly hinder Israel's ability to conduct air sorties in Lebanon.

Wouldn't even be surprised if that was just oil to the fire.
PREPARE UR ANUS
I think the happening-o-meter is at YOU ASKED FOR THIS and edging towards YOU CAN'T STOP IT.
Oh my, this escalated way too quickly. We don't really need a huge long war to appear. Please do kindly get the fuck out of Syria, Israel.
I think this was posted already
Yep it was, and without the panic mongering

frowning down more on people who only post to tell people to snip articles
don't post a gigantic page, if it's short and sweet it doesn't matter. Huge un-formatted posts are a strain and that's what garry was getting at.
OK, what the fuck
I posted the exact same article hours ago, which I updated as well, and there were 10 people visiting it max on any moment.
Now this is posted (with bullshit fear mongering and CAPS LOCK, the exact same thing FP complains about in almost every SH thread), and loads of people just get on the bandwagon. Don't even pretend it's not hypocritical.
As for the article, they're probably lying. Multiple sources confirm this was actually a convoy headed towards Lebanon, possibly carrying anti aircraft missiles.
