Israel bombed a suspected missile shipment in Syria.The strike targeted a convoy of trucks carrying Russian-made SA-17 antiaircraft missiles to Hezbollah, according to a Western official. In addition to taking out weapons that could be used against Israeli warplanes, Israel sent what amounted to a warning to Assad and Iran against attempting to transfer any chemical or biological weapons to Hezbollah. Syria denied accounts that a truck convoy was hit and said Israeli jets instead had struck a military facility.
