Report: IAF jets attack Hezbullah site on Lebanon-Syria border

Lebanese sources are reporting that IAF jets have attacked a Hezbullah target on the Lebanese-Syrian border. As of Israel Radio's midnight report, neither the IAF or Hezbullah's al-Manar network had confirmed the report.

The airstrikes killed a number of Hezbollah members, the sources said. 

...

Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that the Israeli warplanes launched two raids targeting al-Nabi Shayth, a village located in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley near the Syria-Lebanon borders.

NNA added that there were also “intensive Israeli flights at very low altitude over the eastern and western mountains chains of Lebanon.”

The independent Lebanese news channel MTV described the airstrikes as “mock raids” over Brital, Hor Ti’la, al-Nabi Shayth, al-Khidhar, and Ali al-Nahri; villages located in the bordering Bekaa valley.

...

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told Agence France-Presse the target was a Hezbollah “missile base.”

Al Arabiya’s correspondent citing unconfirmed reports said Hezbollah’s moving convoy was targeted because it tried to bring ballistic missiles from Syria to Lebanon.

 I would bet on this report being true.
