Israel Faces Repercussions Of Air Strike On Syria -- The Guardian

Jewish state maintains its traditional silence in the face of accusations that it violated Syria's sovereign territory.

Israel faces threats of retaliation after Wednesday's bombing on the Syrian-Lebanese border, with Russia and the Arab League describing it as a violation of Syria's sovereignty. Syria and Iran threatened to respond to the military intervention, which was widely ascribed to Israeli forces.

My Comment: I doubt that Syria will attack Israel right now. They are too weak, and any attack on Israel will only result in immediate Israeli retaliation .... retaliation in the form of airstrikes on their air force and command and control centers. Will Syria wants this .... probably not. Especially since it is these two parts of the Assad regime that are keeping the rebels from overrunning the regime and kicking them out of power. As to what Hezbollah and Iran may do ... that is another story.
