Current Events 5/3: Israeli Airstrike

Israeli Airstrike

                    The Israeli Air Force launches several airstrikes on targets inside Syria, and for the first time, publicly claims responsibility. Syrian air defenses responded by launching missiles at the aircraft. Three Israeli Arrow missiles were launched in response to the counter-offensive. Israel stated that it was targeting suspected weapons shipments to Hezbollah in Lebanon, adding that the Israeli military will keep intervening until they believe such shipments have ceased. According to the Syrian Army, four Israeli jets entered its airspace and struck targets near Palmyra.

                    This is a very interesting story because of what it may lead to.  Israel has now publicly admitted to firing airstrikes at seria which means they aren't afraid for them to be firing back.  It also means that Israel might be ready for an all out war against them.
