      Russia Bombs Israeli-Run Plant in Georgia


      Russia bombed a Georgian military plant in which Israeli experts are upgrading jet fighters for the Georgian military. According to NFC, the bombing was a "sharp message" to Israel.

      A Russian fighter jet bombed runways inside the plant, which is located near Tbilisi. Israeli security firm Elbit is in charge of upgrading Georgian SU-25 jets at the plant.

      Israel announced its intent to cease its military aid for Georgia Sunday, after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov threatened to "punish" those who train and arm Georgian forces.
