Israeli jets strike Syria

US officials have confirmed that Israel has carried out air strikes in Syria, allegedly targeting weapons which were to be sent to Hezbollah.

The strike was carried out in Latakia, a stronghold of beseiged Syria President Bashar al-Assad, where Russian made missiles were reportedly being prepared to be sent to the Lebanese organisation.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based activist network, reported,
"Several explosions were heard in an air defence base in the Snubar Jableh area."
Syria and Israel have yet to comment on the strikes.
