Conflicting Reports Emerge on Israeli Strike on Hizbullah Convoy

Conflicting claims have been made over the nature of the Israeli strike against an alleged weapons convoy to Hizbullah, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Wednesday.

Syrian rebels said that the strike targeted a Hizbullah rockets convoy on the Lebanese-Syrian border on Tuesday.

They did not specify the exact location of the attack.

A military source told al-Joumhouria meanwhile that there are no signs that indicate that the strike took place within Lebanese territory.

Hizbullah for its part denied that one of its convoys had been struck in the area of Majdal Anjar in the Bekaa.

Israeli warplanes struck a Hizbullah weapons convoy on the Syrian-Lebanese border on Tuesday afternoon, Israeli media reports said.

Citing Arab media sources, Israel's Channel 2 said the Israeli Air Force bombed the arms convoy near a Syrian rebel "safe haven" where Hizbullah fighters were allegedly stationed.
