Israel carried out a commando raid in Syria on Sunday that obliterated a Hezbollah missile production facility near the Lebanese border, killing a number of people at the site, according to American and other Western officials.

The operation included a daring raid by Israeli special forces, who rappelled down from helicopters and apparently seized materials from the missile facility, the officials said. Ground forces were used in the attack because of its complexity and to recover information from the secret weapons site, the officials said, adding that there were no Israeli casualties.

The officials said the raid included airstrikes on the sprawling site, the Scientific Studies and Research Center, which is near Masyaf, in the country’s northwest.

      I’m a little puzzled by the down votes for MBFC. You can still be upset at Israel for everything going on in Gaza and the West Bank and also accept the fact that maybe, just maybe, their actions where justified at this compound in Syria (stopped clocks telling the correct time twice a day and all that…).

        MBFC will call anything left to Fox News communist and will hate on anything that isn’t pro-Israel that’s why it gets downvoted.

        That being said Israel is a genocidal settler colonial apartheid state and should be abolished just like Nazi Germany and Apartheid South Africa got.
