US confirms Israeli air strike on Syria By Tim Butcher in Tel Aviv
Last Updated: 2:26am BST 12/09/2007

A US official has confirmed that Israeli warplanes carried out an
air strike "deep inside" Syria, escalating tensions between the two
countries.

Israel considers retaliation in Gaza

The target of the strike last Thursday remained unclear but Israeli
media reported that a shipment of Iranian arms crossing Syria for
use by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon was attacked.

Syria first reported the incident on the day, saying its air defences
had engaged five Israeli planes, but did not say what their target
was. Israel remained uncharacteristically silent, pointedly refusing
to deny that its warplanes were involved in an operation. The closest
it came to acknowledging the affair happened was when it made an
undertaking to Turkey to investigate how an Israeli long-range fuel
tank was dropped on Turkish territory near the Syrian border.
