Israel Said To Strike Syria

NICOSIA [MENL] -- Israel has struck Syria in what appeared to be an attempt
to stop the flow of chemical and advanced conventional weapons to Hizbullah.
Lebanese sources said the Israel Air Force struck a Syrian convoy near
the border with Lebanon on early Jan. 30. They said Israeli F-16 multi-role
fighter-jets attacked a convoy of trucks believed to contain advanced
Russian-origin surface-to-air missiles. Hours later, Syria confirmed an
Israeli attack.
