Syria reports of an air strike by Israel

The Syrian military is reporting that Israel jets have attacked a military research centre near Damascus.

They state that two people were killed and five were injured.

Western diplomats, Lebanese security forces, and Syrian rebels say that a convoy carrying weapons heading for the Lebanese border was hit.

The Syrian military denies this.

According to BBC News, the reports cannot be verified.

Israel recently stated that they feared militants like Hezbollah gaining possession of Syrian weapons and missiles.

Israel and the U.S. have declined to comment on the reports.
