Anonymous source revealed that the Israeli air strike in the northern
region of Syria was to send Damascus a message regarding their support
of Hezbollah.

Opposition leader and former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday said that the Jewish state had carried out an air strike in Syria two weeks ago and that he had backed it.

Damascus has said its air defences fired on Israeli warplanes which had dropped munitions deep inside its territory in the early hours of September 6, but the Israeli government has not confirmed the operation.
