Israel bombs Syria's Golan after blast

Israel has attacked several Syrian military sites after a roadside
bombing that wounded four of its troops in the occupied Golan Heights,
the Israeli military said.


It said targets of Wednesday's airstrikes included a Syrian military headquarters, a training facility and artillery batteries.


Israel blamed Damascus for the roadside bombing, though parts of the
Syrian-held side of the Golan are controlled by rebels, including
al-Qaeda-inspired armed groups hostile to Israel.


Israel says Lebanese Hezbollah fighters helping Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad battle the insurgency have a presence on the Golan.


"We see the Syrian army as responsible, and that is indicated by our response to the attack," Lerner said.
