Israel Angry With White House for Leaking Syrian Air Strike

Israeli officials are upset with the Obama
administration for confirming an Israeli Air
Force airstrike Wednesday that targeted
weaponry set to be transferred to
Hezbollah.
Israel had not claimed responsibility for the
strike on the Syrian port city Latakia, but a
White House official confirmed the incident
with CNN Thursday, noting the target was
“missiles and related equipment.” Israeli
officials called the leak “scandalous” and
“unthinkable,” according to Israel’s Channel
10 TV, and a military analyst characterized
it as “unfathomable.”
Israel had been accused of raids on Syria
earlier this year in January and May.
