Syria confirms Israeli airstrike
Syria confirms Israeli airstrike

The Syrian army has said that Israeli jets crossed into Syria below the radar level at dawn and hit a military research centre in Jamraya, near Damascus.

"Israeli fighter jets violated our airspace at dawn today and carried out a direct strike on a scientific research centre in charge of raising our level of resistance and self-defence," the army's general command said in a statement carried by state news agency SANA on Wednesday evening.

The strike came "after terrorist groups made several failed attempts in the past months to take control of the site," the statement added of rebel groups fighting the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

Israeli warplanes entered Syrian airspace via Mount Hermon, or Jabal el-Sheikh in Arabic, the army said.

"They... carried out an act of aggression, bombarding the site, causing large-scale material damage and destroying the building," state television quoted the military as saying.

The army added that two site workers were killed in the strike.

If Bibi denies this, I will have to try to decide whether to believe Bashar or Bibi. That effort will certainly cause my head to explode.

If that happens, remember I loved you all and wish you all well.

1. Bashar or Bibi?
They're both lying.

Again, I no longer trust any news source or ANY government source of information. The whole thing is corrupt to the core.
