Israeli aircraft carried out two airstrikes Monday near the Lebanese-Syrian border, Lebanon's state news agency said. There was no immediate confirmation from Lebanese security officials, and the Israeli military declined comment.
Lebanon's National News Agency said the air raids took place near Nabi Sheet, a remote village in the eastern Bekaa Valley. The agency did not say what was targeted in the attack.

Syrian Army fires across border into Israel to retaliate for airstrikes
Lebanon's National News Agency said the air raids took place near Nabi Sheet, a remote village in the eastern Bekaa Valley. The agency did not say what was targeted in the attack.
The porous border is frequently used by fighters and smugglers to move people and weapons between Lebanon and Syria. The Lebanese Shiite militant Hezbollah group, a close ally of Syria and a bitter enemy ofIsrael, also has a strong presence in the Bekaa area.
A Lebanese army spokesman said he had no indication of any airstrikes in the area, but that authorities were investigating the reports.
Residents in Nabi Sheet reported hearing several explosions late Monday, but the nature of the blasts was unclear.
Jaafar al-Musawi, head of Nabi Sheet Municipality, told Lebanon's Al-Jadeed TV there was no airstrike on the town. "We heard warplanes followed by explosions, it could be along the border with Syria," he said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights activist group said Israeli warplanes bombed a rocket launcher for Hezbollah fighters near the villages of Janta and Yahfoufa along the border. It was not known if the strikes hit inside Lebanese or Syrian territory, the Observatory added.
Israel and Hezbollah fought a bloody month-long war in 2006 that ended in a stalemate. Israeli officials believe Hezbollah has restocked its arsenal with tens of thousands of rockets and missiles, some of which are capable of striking virtually anywhere in the Jewish state.
While Israel has tried to stay out of the war in neighboring Syria, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly threatened to take military action to prevent Syria from transferring sophisticated weapons to its ally Hezbollah. Over the past year, Israel has carried out several airstrikes inside Syria to halt suspected shipments of advanced missiles, including Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles and guided missiles from Iran, from reaching Hezbollah. Israel has never confirmed the airstrikes.
It's none of Israel's god-damn business what Syria does with it's missiles.
The air strikes are illegal. They're also another example of Israeli aggression against its neighbor's.

How much does it pain you to know Israel has killed less palestinians in 60 plus years than Jordan did in two weeks in 1970?

Obviously the 'sand monkeys' who belong to Hamas and Hezbollah don't buy their bullets, rockets, IEDs/mortars/rifles/high explosives. They can't get it together to keep the water/lights turned on.Novasteve: Israel should be able to kill every man woman and child it wants. Mmmmmm man.

Were I to know that it may pain me. It doesn't as I don't know that and given that you are saying it's true I still don't know it as you twist everything to your depressingly narrow minded and bigotted worldview. I know that Israel behaves very badly, I also know that Hezbollah and Hamas do also. My tax dollars don't buy the bullets that Hamas and Hezbollah fire though.

Are you aware of the fact that Hezbollah is a terror organization?
Are you a terrorist sympathizer?

So who do you think supplies them? Russia via Syria and Iran via Syria.
As long as that is happening, AKA forever, the 'West' will continue to help Israel defend itself.
Have a nice day living on Uranus.
If you object to 'your tax dollars' such as they are, helping defend Israel you ought to move out of the country. That's what a real man of principle would do right?
Have you seen Israel's new mobile 'Rail guns"? The 'sand-monkeys' in Hamas and Hezbolla are going to be given the honor of seeing for themselves what a railgun can do soon. Then there's Israel's new 'LAWS' system. And Israels MDS. Meanwhile the 'sand-monkeys' are having trouble figuring out how not to blow themselves up while making fertilizer bombs.

I'm aware that Nelson Mandella was a "terrorist" until well in to his old age. Hezbollah runs schools and hospitals, I don't define that as terrorist unless you also define the Israeli government as terrorist in which case I'll agree with your unbiased standpoint, otherwise it's not a terror organisation in my eyes.
