DAMASCUS, -- Syria's Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi said Saturday that a serious Syrian inspection is currently underway to verify reports about an Israeli airstrike that allegedly hit Syria overnight Thursday.During an interview with the state-TV, al-Zoubi said results are yet to come out, but stressed that whoever thinks that Syria is vulnerable or weak, is "delusional."
Israeli Foreign Ministry and Israeli Defense Forces refused Saturday to comment on the alleged attack, after U.S. media said Friday that Israel attacked a convoy carrying missiles from Syria to militant Hezbollah in Lebanon. But an unnamed Israeli source has confirmed to foreign media that Israel is behind the attack, Israeli media reported.
If true, the incident will be the second Israeli airstrike to target Syria during the country's crisis.
In January, the Syrian military said an Israeli airstrike targeted a military research center in the area of Jamraya, northwest of Damascus.
Syria accuses Israel of trying to ease the mission of the armed rebels on ground.
