Reuters: Israeli warplanes did not target chemical arms site

Israeli warplanes have carried out an air strike in Syria, a security source in the region said on Saturday, confirming a disclosure by a US official.

The attack took place on Friday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet approved it in a secret meeting on Thursday night, the source told Reuters on condition of anonymity, but the target was not a Syrian chemical weapons facility, or a shipment of weapons headed for Hezbollah in Lebanon as NBC reported, but rather a building.
