A message for vacationing Syrian leader

AP/Breitbart:

Israeli warplanes buzzed the summer residence of Syrian President Bashar Assad early Wednesday, military officials said, in a message aimed at pressuring the Syrian leader to win the release of a captured Israeli soldier.

The officials said on condition of anonymity that the fighter jets flew over Assad's palace in a low-altitude overnight raid near the Mediterranean port city of Latakia in northwestern Syria. Israeli television reports said four planes were involved, and Assad was home at the time.

The flight caused "noise" on the ground, the military officials said on condition of anonymity, according to military guidelines.

The officials said Assad was targeted because of the "direct link" between Syria and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group holding Cpl. Gilad Shalit, 19, in the Gaza Strip. Syria hosts Khaled Meshaal, Hamas' exiled supreme leader.

There was no immediate reaction from Syria.

...

The message must have been, "you are vulnerable." Assad continues to support those at war with Israel and work as a conduit for the Iranians at war with Israel and their proxies Hezballah. Within Israel and the Palestinian territories Islamic Jihad is Iran's proxy. Hamas does not seem to mind the competion of exploding Palestinians murdering Israelis.
