Israel jet attack just a prelude

Sparse details of an attack by Israel jets on a target near the Lebanon-Syria border are sufficient to indicate a ratcheting up of tensions in the Levant. Whether the target was a convoy carrying anti-aircraft missiles or a Syrian "military research center" and chemicals store, and whether Iran and/or Hezbollah figured in the raid, more of the same can be expected. - Victor Kotsev (Jan 31, '13)
