Israeli Strike in Syria Hit Advanced Iranian Weapons Headed for Hizbullah
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - The bombing of Syrian and Iranian targets in Syria on Sunday targeted the logistical chain that supplies advanced weapons to Hizbullah. The S-300 surface-to-air missile system provided to the Syrian Army by Russia didn't operate. Instead, the Syrians fired a massive barrage of older S-200 missiles, one of which fell in Turkish Cyprus by mistake. Mossad chief Yossi Cohen said Monday, "We have no interest in fighting with Syria, but we won't accept Iran's entrenchment against us in Syria, or Syria's role as a logistical base for transporting weaponry to Lebanon." He added that Israel's activity in Syria will ultimately prompt Iran to decide that it doesn't pay to operate there.
