ISRAEL HITS BASE IN SYRIA

The Israeli army say they have attacked an Islamic Jihad training base in Syria in retaliation for Saturday's suicide bombing in the northern Israeli coastal town of Haifa. The army did not say whether air or ground forces carried out the attack "deep inside Syrian territory". Palestinian sources in Beirut said Israeli warplanes raided a facility that belonged to an anti-Israel Palestinian group near the Syrian capital Damascus, injuring one man. Israel earlier launched two air strikes in Gaza in retalliation for the suicide bombing, which killed 19 people and injured more than 30 others.
