Israelis hit long range missile sites in Syria and Hezballah positions near border

Update: This story suggest my suspicions are confirmed.
Israeli fighter jets allegedly hit Syrian and Hezbollah targets on the Syria-Lebanon border Friday overnight, Al Jazeera reported Saturday.I suspect the Israelis have intelligence that the missiles would be aimed at them. The fact that a weapons convoy was hit suggest the Syrians were moving them to a location that threatened Israel. Hezballah has been a constant threat to Israel. That group is Iran's proxy force aimed at Israel. It is possible that Israel may also be taking out a missile site that would be used to attack it in the event Israel hit Iran's nuclear facilities.
According to sources quoted by Al Jazeera, the attack in al-Qalamoun targeted the 155th and 65th Brigades of the Syrian army, which deal with strategic weapons and long-range missiles.
The sources reported several explosions in the Syrian towns of Al-Qutayfah, Yabroud and Qarah on the outskirts of Damascus.
Al Arabiya reported the attack targeted Syrian weapons depots, and that on Wednesday Israel allegedly attack two weapons convoys, reportedly killing one person.
Sources confirmed to Lebanese news site Elnashra that Israel attacked Syrian posts near Qarah. Elnashra is a site known for its pro-Assad and pro-Hezbollah coverage.
