Syria says Israeli strike aircraft bombed a Syrian military research facility northwest of Damascus.
So yeah, that happened. Israeli strike planes bombed a military research facility northwest of Damascus. Israel doesn't bomb targets outside of Israel and Palestine often. Apparently the Israelis bombed the base to prevent a shipment of weapons provided by Assad's regime from getting to Hezbollah.
Yeah the shipment included anti-air missiles to shoot down Israeli aircraft, which is bad news for Israel because like America they rely heavily on their airpower also.
No word yet on which type of aircraft were used for the airstrike but there's a good chance they used their F-15Es and F-16s along with their other F-15s for escort against the Syrian Air Force.

Going along with it was not a research facility, the recent Revolutionary Guard General's death might have been the real reason Israel struck the convoy. Seems to me like this guy was in charge of shipping supplies to Hezbollah and Israel took advantage of this prime oppertunity. Of course, this is all speculation based on what the FSA said.
