First report: Israeli jets buzz Syrian presidential palace

Dave at Israel At Level Ground is quoting a Channel 10 (cable) news report that four Israeli F-16 jets overflew Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's palace near Latakiya while he was in the building.

Syrian television did not report the event, although al-Jazeerra did run a scroller shortly after the Israeli announcement, according to reporter Shai Yeheskeli.

An official Syrian response close to 20:30 denied that the flyover took place, and said the Syrians would "continue their current policies."

It's not clear to me when the flyover took place. Read the whole thing (sorry - I could not link to the specific post, only to the home page).
