Description | Syria complained to the United Nations Tuesday about Israeli "aggression and violation of sovereignty" after what a U.S. official said was an airstrike deep in Syria that hit a target.
Syria reported the incursion on Thursday, saying Israeli aircraft flew over the northern part of the country and dropped munitions over an empty area after being fired on by Syrian anti-aircraft defenses.
A U.S. military official said Tuesday the incursion was an Israeli airstrike "deep into Syria" that hit a target. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it was an intelligence issue, said he did not know the target.
Israel has remained silent over the incident. But military officials said Tuesday Israel is keeping troops along the Syrian border on high alert. The officials said there have been no signs that Syria is preparing for war after the alleged incident. Nonetheless, the army will remain on high alert over throughout upcoming Rosh Hashana holiday, which begins Wednesday. |
