“Israeli warplanes violated our airspace at dawn, bombing directly one of the research scientific centers in the Jimraya district in rural Damascus…”-Syrian statement

30 January 2013, pro-U.S./Israeli media sources say an unnamed U.S. official confirmed an Israeli airstrike against Syria.

The U.S. official says they believe anti-aircraft weapons were being sent to Lebanon, and the Israelis felt threatened.  However, the U.S. official did not comment on Syria’s claim that Israel bombed a site used for testing new weapons.  Still no comment from Israel either, other than they confirmed there were two air sorties launched.
