Israel Air Force jets struck targets in the are of the Lebanon-Syrian border in the Bekaa valley, Lebanese media reported Tuesday afternoon.

The reports said that there were wounded in the strikes. The intended target was initially unclear in the reports.

According to the reports, the two attacks occurred in the mountain region where Hezbollah has been fighting rebels aiming to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Hezbollah officials, in an interview with Al-Manar television and the Lebanese news website Al-Ahad, both affiliated with the organization, denied reports of the attacks in the Bekaa Valley.

According to the same sources the sound heard in the border region between Syria and Lebanon was due to the penetration of airplanes into Lebanese airspace.

If the reports are proven to be correct, Tuesday would not be the first time that Israel has struck targets in lebanon deemed to be a threat to national security. Such strikes have included the destruction of missile shipments to Hezbollah.

“-—the intended target was unclear” ? Well, the target knows——clearly. But the target ain’t talking? Curious how the sandrat asshats never seem to know when they’ve had their teeth kicked in? But since it’s getting hard to tell whether damage is fresh in Syria maybe even the natives can’t tell what was worth hitting? And you know they’ll still argue about who owns which pile of rubble.

I’ve been waiting for Isaiah 17 for some 15 years or so.

Maybe this year?
