Israel Launches Air Strike Into Syria

The Telegraph reports:
Israeli jets have launched an attack inside Syria to prevent missiles being transferred to the Lebanese militant group Hizbollah, according to new reports on Thursday. 
An explosion at a missile base to the south of the regime-held port city of Latakia on Syria's north-west coast was first reported by Syrian activist groups. 
But the Lebanese government was also reporting that Israeli Air Force jets flew over its territory on Wednesday afternoon. Both CNN and the Saudi-backed news channel Al-Arabiya reported anonymous sources saying that the two events were connected.
The attack was reportedly intended to destroy surface-to-air missiles possessed by Hezbollah.
