The military said it carried out the strike after troops saw "a group of armed terrorists" approach the border with an explosive intended to target Israeli troops. It said that Israeli aircraft "targeted the squad, preventing the attack."
It did not offer any casualty figure for the strike. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said four Syrian soldiers were killed by a missile fired from Israeli-occupied territory in the Golan. Observatory director Rami Abdurrahman said it was not clear whether the missile was fired by a plane or from a vehicle.
On Twitter, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent messages commending the soldiers involved in the strike.
"Any attempt to harm our soldiers and civilians will be met with a determined response like the military action tonight that thwarted a terror attack," Netanyahu said........AP.........http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Lebanon-News/2015/Apr-27/295869-airstrike-on-syria-border-launched-after-seeing-bomb-israel.ashx

Islamist rebels say capture army base in northwestern Syrian province...
ReplyDeleteA coalition of Islamist rebels said they seized a Syrian army base in northwestern Idlib province at dawn on Monday after a suicide bomber from al-Qaida's Nusra Front drove a truck packed with explosives inside and set it off.
Syrian state media said the army had inflicted heavy casualties on rebels in the area and launched air strikes, but did not say the base had fallen.
The capture of Qarmeed camp, if confirmed, would be the latest in a series of setbacks for the army in the region. It would allow the rebels to tighten their siege on the major Mastouma army base nearby which has seen heavy fighting in recent weeks.

La Fuerza Aérea de Israel ataca objetivos militares en Siria ...
ReplyDeleteAviones caza de la Fuerza Aérea de Israel atacaron depósitos de armas del Ejército sirio en Siria la mañana del lunes, según informa el canal de televisión panárabe Al Yazira.
El ataque tuvo lugar en la región de al-Qalamoun al norte de Damasco, según informa Al Yazira, señalando que el ataque dejó varios muertos y heridos, aunque no se conoce el número exacto de víctimas, según cita Jerusalem Post.
Según la cadena de televisión de propiedad saudí Al-Arabiya, el objetivo del ataque era un puesto ocupado por soldados de la Brigada 155 de las fuerzas armadas sirias.
El presunto ataque llega horas después de que la Fuerza Aérea israelí mató a cuatro supuestos terroristas que entraron a Israel desde Siria.
Militares israelíes afirman haber lanzado un ataque aéreo en su frontera con Siria después de ver a unos milicianos llevando una bomba. Un comunicado del Ejército informa que se lanzó el ataque después de que las tropas vieran a "un grupo de terroristas armados" acercándose a la frontera con un explosivo que podría ir dirigido contra soldados israelíes.

Israeli military strikes Golan Heights to foil terror plot...
ReplyDeleteThe Israeli Air Force launched a strike on a militant cell, who had arrived from Syria, after they were attempting to plant a bomb in the occupied Golan Heights. Reports say that up to four people have been killed in the operation.
At around 9:30pm local time, Israeli troops saw “a group of armed terrorists” heading towards the Israeli side of the Golan Heights. The group then placed an explosive device on a border fence, which was deemed an apparent threat as it targeted the troops, according to an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) statement. Israeli aircraft were deployed and “targeted the squad, preventing the attack.”
The military did not confirm or deny any casualties, but local media said up to four people had died. The Haaretz newspaper reported that three militants were killed and it was likely that the fourth one had been hit. It was also confirmed that the explosive device was not activated.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the troops’ quick response: “Any attempt to harm our soldiers or our citizens will be met with a decisive response like tonight’s IDF operation that prevented a terror attack. I commend the vigilant IDF soldiers that acted quickly and accurately,” he said.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attempted attack.......http://rt.com/news/253213-israel-golan-heights-airstrike/
