Namely, if the air-strike took place in Lebanon/Syria, why has/did Lebanon/Syria not retaliated/retaliate with military action. It was an unauthorized incursion into their airspace - such incidents are normally met, first with a warning and then military action. How were the Israelis able to freely fly over another country's airspace without any resistance or whatnot?

Nice to see Israel striving for peace as always. Lebanon should just start shooting the planes down as they cross over the border.
They have tried to fight off Israel many times. Lebanon is riding the edge
Of being labbled Terrorist nation which an attack on Israeli jets would guarantee.
There is no love for Israel anywhere in the middle east. If the US and Britain didnt back
Them we wouldnt be reading this thread.
Its a shame, they are a real hurdle in the way of peace all the while claiming
To be a peaceful democracy. There will be no middle ground with Israel. they
Will either destroy every other country in the ME or they will be destroyed themselves
They will never cooperate with anyone in the ME because they want to rule it all
..... For their own saftey of course. Israel doesnt care if millions die as long as they
Get everything they want with no compromise.

Not even Syria with their much more extensive air defences have achieved that in relation to Israeli aircraft in recent years. The Lebanese, in regards to fighter aircraft and anti-aircraft defences, are in no position to stop Israeli overflights.

Go live in these countries for a while then tell me if Israel is truly just looking to kill everyone.
You must think the US is backing them for no reason.
We are accused of a holy war if we put serial numbers on M4's that reference bible passages.
Don't be so quick to knock Israel. Are they all good? No. Are they allies of our country and are they fighting for freedom and democracy? Yes.
Is Israel going to prevail? I suggest reading what the Bible has to say about that.
Until then, they deserve our support.
You are not to judge, and you definitely don't want the MB in power ANYWHERE.

Oh please. If you throw enough shots up in the air you will bring down something.

The Agency regrets that Syria has not cooperated since June 2008 in connection with the unresolved issues related to the Dair Alzour site and the three other locations allegedly functionally related to it.
