    Syrian rebels down regime helicopter, and Media reports: Rockets from Israel hit Syrian military base.
    Shortly after midnight, the Syrian Air Defense had intercepted and destroyed two ground-to-ground missiles, reported the state-run Syrian news agency Sana.
    Several rockets had been fired from Israel to a position of the Syrian army near the capital Damascus.
    The rockets are said to have caused only material damage.

    The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the missiles struck an army or ally’s armory.
    The attack near the city of Al-Kiswa south of Damascus caused loud explosions.
    The Israeli army initially refused to comment on the current case.

      This was a big victory for Israel on Hezb/Iran military commanders.

    “[O]ccupied Golan”? Does YaLibnan mean “part of the Golan occupied by Baathist troops”? 🙂
