Ok, this is beginning to make a lot more sense. Via Ha’aretz and the Jerusalem Post, CNN is reporting that Israel entered Syrian airspace last week and attacked a convoy of Iranian troops intended to reach Hizballah in Lebanon. The report also indicates that a ground operation may have been involved.
If this is true, the Syrian response – or lack thereof – to the Israeli attack seems more appropriate in the wake of these revelations. If true, it proves that Syria is attempting to funnel weapons to Hizballah in violation of the UN resolution that ended the Second Lebanon War.
The extent of the infiltrations must also be a source of great embarrassment to Syria. From the maps included in the Jerusalem post article show that – according to the Syrian Foreign minister – Israeli aircraft penetrated nearly to the Syrian-Iraqi border, bombed their targets, and were returning home before they were even picked up on radar.
The whole incident seems a lot more explainable now that more facts have come to light.
