Israel Up to Its Old Tricks
by QuestionGirl • 8:05 pm

No politician should take a single cent from any lobbying group who is pimping for Israel. This is NOT ok.

Syria’s official SANA news agency quoted an army spokesman as saying that the Israeli planes penetrated Syrian airspace from the Mediterranean Sea heading towards the northeast.

According to the report, Syrian air defenses fired at the incoming Israeli planes after the warplanes “dropped ammunition”, but no damage or casualty was caused in the incident.

“The Syrian Arab Republic warns the government of the Israeli enemy against this aggressive action and reserves the right to respond in a way it deems appropriate,” SANA said.

The report, however, did not say the Israelis struck targets in Syria as some media reported, but only said the Israelis dropped ammunition.

Israel Radio reported that an unidentified Israeli military spokesman had denied Israeli warplanes attacked targets in Syria.

A spokesperson of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told Xinhua that they are unaware of any incident that Damascus had claimed that it fired on Israeli warplane that violated Syrian airspace.

The IDF is not available for comments at the moment and would look into the report, said the spokesperson.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s office also said it was looking into the report.
