Report: Israel Flattened Syrian Biological Weapons Research Center
(TIME) Aaron J. Klein and Karl Vick - Israeli planes struck several targets inside Syria last Tuesday, including a biological weapons research center that was reportedly flattened, Western intelligence officials said. Syria complained of the destruction of the Scientific Studies and Research Center in Jamarya northwest of Damascus, while news organizations reported that Israeli jets hit a convoy carrying advanced anti-aircraft defense systems toward Lebanon. A Western intelligence official indicated that at least one to two additional targets were hit. Officials also said that Israel had a "green light" from Washington to launch yet more such strikes.
