WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials on Wednesday confirmed Israel launched air strikes against Syria last week, but would not discuss the intended targets.
"The strike I can confirm. The target, I can't," said one U.S. official. The official said there was more than one strike.
Another official called reports on the likely targets "confused." The New York Times on Wednesday said likely targets were weapons caches that Israel believes Iran has sent through Syria to Hezbollah.
Syria has protested to the United Nations about Israel's air strike against its territory on Thursday. Israel has declined to comment on the charge.

Has anyone else heard this? The media has been pretty quiet about this. I haven't heard anything out of the mainstream media. Here are a few more links.

Does anyone think that this might raise tensions in the area? Or is it no big deal?

Yeah, I'm not sure where this might go... I wish I knew more about this, I wonder if they really took out some sort of missile base like some are saying.

Sweet, another war we sink billions of dollars into. I saw a blurb yesterday that the us has spent $121b since the 9/11 attacks in our war on terror.

The LAST thing we need is to be dragged into another war.

What the US needs to do is trying to stay for some time out of wars that don't really have anything to do with them, it's enough with Iraq, don't you think. And stop supporting Israel.

I don't mean this as an attack on you or anything, but that's exactly what Al Qaeda has said they want us to do.
