Israeli warplanes fly over Syrian leader's house-TV
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L15462805.htm

JERUSALEM, August 15 (Reuters) - Israeli warplanes flew at low altitudes this week over the holiday residence of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as a message to Syria to rein in the Hizbollah guerrilla group, Israeli television said on Friday.

Channel One said Assad was staying at the holiday residence in the northern Syrian city of Latakia when the planes flew overhead on Sunday.

Israeli warplanes have not overflown Syria since Israel ended a 22-year occupation of South Lebanon in 2000. Syria has long been the dominating outside power in Lebanon and has had forces there since its civil war in the 1970s.

Syria made no comment on the Israeli report.

1. So much for the idea of sovereign air space.
Of course, Israel is exempt from international law, anyway -- any attempt to enforce it is simply dismissed as yet another example of anti-semitism, or anti-Israel bias.
