An Israeli airstrike on Tuesday night targeted a weapons convoy in Syria bound for the Islamist militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, the AP reports:
The regional officials said Israel had been planning in the days leading up to the airstrike to hit a shipment of weapons bound for the Islamist militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. They said the shipment included sophisticated, Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles, which would be strategically “game-changing” in the hands of Hezbollah.
