Israel's reported entry to Syrian airspace last week was actually a full-fledged attack on Iranian arms transferred through Syria for use by the Hizbullah, according to CNN.
The CNN report, which quotes "sources in the region and in the United States," also claims a ground operation of troops directing the air strikes was part of the attack.
The report said the operation left a “great hole in the desert” and quotes anonymous sources calling the transfer of weapons from Iran a "a pattern over the past three or four years which has occurred without any retaliation or action taken against it." CNN also said the US is “pleased” with the operation, which sent a “clear message” to the region.
