ISRAELI STRIKE INTO SYRIA KILLS HEZBOLLAH COMMANDER AND SON OF MOUGHNIYAH

The IAF conducted an air strike into Syria that yielded good results:
An Israeli helicopter strike in Syria killed a commander from Lebanon's Hezbollah and the son of the group's late military leader Imad Moughniyah, sources close to Hezbollah said, in a major blow that could lead to reprisal attacks.

The strike hit a convoy carrying Jihad Moughniyah and other Hezbollah members including commander Abu Issa, in the Syrian province of Quneitra, near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, Lebanese sources said, killing five Hezbollah members in all.

It comes just days after Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said frequent Israeli strikes in Syria were a major aggression, that the group was stronger than before and that Syria and its allies had the right to respond.

Shi'ite Muslim Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran and fought a 34-day war with Israel in 2006, has been fighting alongside President Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria's four-year war.
Oh, the Hezbollah sure proved themselves alright - to be nothing more than a farce.

That said, a retiring IDF officer has warned that attacks in the Golan Heights are only a matter of time, and we may be forced to defend the country from that direction for real very soon.
