Israel strikes Syria again, rocking Damascus Israeli rockets blamed for Syria blast By Dominic Evans and Oliver Holmes BEIRUT | Sun May 5, 2013 5:40am EDT (Reuters) - Israel carried out its second air strike in days on Syria early on Sunday, a Western intelligence source said, in an attack that shook Damascus with a series of powerful blasts and drove columns of fire into the night sky. Israel declined comment but Syria accused the Jewish state of striking a military facility just north of the capital - one which its jets had first targeted three months ago. Iran, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and an arch-enemy for Israel, urged states in the region to resist the Israeli attack. People living near the Jamraya base spoke of explosions over several hours in various places near Damascus, including a town housing senior officials: "Night turned into day," one man said. The Western intelligence source told Reuters the operation hit Iranian-supplied missiles headed for Lebanon's Hezbollah, a similar target to the two previous strikes this year, which have been defended as justifiable by Israel's ally the United States: "In last night's attack, as in the previous one, what was attacked were stores of Fateh-110 missiles that were in transit from Iran to Hezbollah," the intelligence source said. An Israeli official had confirmed a similar raid on Friday. In Lebanon, Hezbollah declined immediate comment. Video footage uploaded onto the Internet by activists showed a series of explosions. One lit up the skyline of Damascus while another sent up a tower of flames and secondary blasts. Syrian state media accused Israel of attacking in response to Assad's forces' recent successes against rebels who, with Western approval, have been trying to topple him for two years. In 40 years since a war with a Syria then ruled by Assad's father, Israel has been locked in a cold standoff with Damascus, fought Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006 and is threatening to attack Iran, accusing Tehran of trying to develop nuclear weapons. But it is wary of instability in Syria, has long viewed Hezbollah as the more immediate threat and has shown little enthusiasm for U.S. and European calls for Assad's overthrow. The raid follows intense debate in the United States over whether the use of chemical weapons by Syrian troops might push President Barack Obama to intervene more forcefully on the rebel side, but Western powers remain concerned at the presence of anti-Western Islamist fighters among Assad's opponents. It was unclear whether Israel sought U.S. approval for the action; in the past, officials have indicated that Israel sees a need only to inform Washington once a mission was under way. At a routine public appearance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made no direct reference to the strikes but spoke pointedly of his responsibility to ensure Israel's future. He maintained a plan to fly to China later in the day, suggesting a confidence that, as with the raid in January, Assad - and Hezbollah - would limit any reprisal. However, an Israeli military source said the army had deployed more anti-missile defense systems near the northern borders in recent days. NIGHT OF EXPLOSIONS "The sky was red all night. We didn't sleep a single second. The explosions started after midnight and continued through the night," one man told Reuters from Hameh, less than a mile from the Jamraya military research facility. "There were explosions on all sides of my house," he added, saying people hid in basements during the events. Another witness spoke of fire near Qura al-Assad, a town around 5 km (3 miles) west of Jamraya where many high-level government officials live. In the center of Damascus, people said their first thought was that there was an earthquake. Identified by Syrian media as the Jamraya military research center, the target was also hit by Israel in another assault on January 30. Jamraya, on the northern approaches to Damascus, is just 15 km (10 miles) from the Lebanese border. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the blasts hit Jamraya as well as a nearby ammunition depot. Other activists said a missile brigade and two Republican Guard battalions may also have been targeted in the heavily militarized area just north of Damascus. Reports by activists and state media are difficult to verify in Syria because of restrictions on journalists operating there. People living in southern Lebanon said they heard frequent sounds of jets overhead and believed they were Israeli. The streets of central Damascus were almost empty of pedestrians and traffic on Sunday morning, the start of the working week. Only a few shops were open. Checkpoints that have protected the government-controlled zone from rebel attack appeared to have been reinforced with additional men. Syria's state television said the strikes were a response to recent military gains by Assad's forces against rebels: "The new Israeli attack is an attempt to raise the morale of the terrorist groups which have been reeling from strikes by our noble army," it said. Speaking shortly before Sunday's attack, President Obama said Israel had a right to act: "The Israelis justifiably have to guard against the transfer of advanced weaponry to terrorist organizations like Hezbollah," he said. In Israel, a military spokeswoman said of the attack in Syria: "We don't respond to this kind of report." Netanyahu appeared at the dedication of a highway junction in memory of his late father. He made no reference to raids but said his father "taught me that the greatest responsibility we have is to ensure Israel's security and guarantee its future." MISSILE "BETTER THAN SCUD" Israel has repeatedly made clear it is prepared to use force to prevent advanced weapons from Syria reaching Hezbollah guerrillas, who fought a 34-day war with Israel seven years ago. Uzi Rubin, an Israeli missile expert and former defense official said the Fateh-110 missile "is better than the Scud, it has a half-ton warhead". Iran has said it adapted the missile for anti-ship use by installing a guidance system, he added. With Assad battling the revolt, Israelis also worry that Islamist rebels among the majority Sunni Muslim population could loot his arsenals and eventually hit the Jewish state, ending four decades of relative cross-border calm. There was no immediate indication of how Syria would respond to Sunday's attack. After Israel's January raid, Damascus protested to the United Nations and the Syrian ambassador to Lebanon promised a "surprise decision", but no direct military retaliation followed. Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi was quoted by the ISNA news agency as saying on Sunday: "The Zionist regime's attack on Syria, which occurred with the U.S.'s green light, revealed the relationship between mercenary terrorists and their supporters and the regime occupying Jerusalem ... The evil actions of the Zionist regime can threaten the security of the entire region." The uprising against Assad began with street protests that were met with force and grew into a bloody civil war in which the United Nations says at least 70,000 people have been killed. Assad has lost control of large areas of north and eastern Syria, and is battling rebels on the fringes of Damascus. But his forces have launched counter-offensives in recent weeks against the rebels around the capital and near the city of Homs, which links Damascus with the Mediterranean heartland of Assad's minority Alawites, who have religious ties to the Shi'ite form of Islam practiced in Iran. Opposition activists said hundreds of Sunni families fled the coastal town of Banias on Saturday after fighters loyal to Assad killed at least 62 people and left bloodied and burned corpses piled in the streets. It was the second such alleged massacre in the area in the recent days.

The war in Syria its getting very complicated now Israeli openly joined to.

Israeli warplanes launch air strike inside Syria BBC's Wyre Davies, in Jerusalem: "These are unconfirmed reports but well-sourced reports" Continue reading the main story Syria conflict Israeli planes have launched a strike inside Syria from Lebanese air space. Unnamed US-based Israeli officials said the target was a shipment of arms destined for Lebanon's Hezbollah. The governments of Israel and Syria have not yet commented on the strike. Israel launched a similar strike in January, when it also claimed to have targeted a Hezbollah-bound arms convoy. Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama says he does not foresee sending US troops to tackle Syria's civil war. Western intelligence agencies have raised concerns that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons, something which the US has termed a "red line". Mr Obama reaffirmed on Friday that clear evidence of chemical weapons would be a "game changer", but that any response would not be rushed. Analysts say the US and its allies are discussing possible action including air strikes to enforce a no-fly zone, but Syria's ally Russia is strongly opposed to such measures. Tens of thousands have been killed in two years of unrest in Syria. On Saturday, activists said government forces had killed a number of people in the coastal town of Baniyas, days after more than 40 people were killed in a nearby village. The activists said hundreds of people are trying to flee the area. 'Enemy planes' Reports of the air strike first emerged in US media reports quoting unnamed US officials. Israeli officials later told journalists that the strike had taken place early on Friday. While Israel rarely comments on specific operations, it has repeatedly said it would act if it felt Syrian weapons, conventional or chemical, were being transferred to militant groups in the region, especially Hezbollah, says the BBC's Wyre Davies in Jerusalem. Lebanon's army had said in a statement saying Israeli warplanes had flown over Lebanese airspace for hours on Friday. President Obama said he did not foresee "American boots on the ground in Syria" Without commenting directly on the reports, President Obama said on Saturday that the Israelis "justifiably have to guard against the transfer of advanced weaponry to terrorist organisations like Hezbollah". Lebanese President Michel Suleiman denounced the flights and accused Israel of breaking international law. The statements from Lebanon did not mention strikes against Syria. The Syrian ambassador to the UN said he was not aware of any Israeli attack against his country. Earlier this week, Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon acknowledged that Israel had launched an air strike in January against a target inside Syria. He said that the transfer of sophisticated weapons to radical militant groups like Hezbollah was a red line, and Israel had acted when it was crossed. Evidence sought During a visit to Costa Rica on Friday, Mr Obama told reporters that as a commander-in-chief he could rule nothing out "because circumstances change". Continue reading the main story Poll results Poll on attitudes to sending arms and military supplies to Syrian rebels Little support for arming Syria rebels But he added he did not foresee a scenario in which "American boots on the ground in Syria" would be good for either America or Syria. He also said he had already consulted Middle Eastern leaders and they agreed with him. Mr Obama reiterated that there was evidence that chemical weapons had been used in Syria, but that "we don't know when, where or how". He stressed that if strong evidence was found it would be "a game changer for us" because "there is a possibility that it (weapons) lands in the hands of organisations like Hezbollah" in neighbouring Lebanon. Earlier this week, US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel became the first senior US official to state publicly that Washington was reconsidering its opposition to supplying weapons to rebel forces. "Arming the rebels - that's an option," he told reporters. "You look at and rethink all options. It doesn't mean you do or you will. These are options that must be considered with the international community." With no appetite for direct military intervention, many US officials increasingly feel that arming the rebels is now the least-worst option, the BBC's Kim Ghattas in Washington says. US allies such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia are already providing weapons to various groups fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces. The pressure to act has intensified in recent days after emerging evidence that Syria has used chemical weapons such as the nerve gas sarin. More than 70,000 people have been killed since fighting between forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and rebels erupted in March 2011.

I am now receiving news that Alshabaab claimed responsibility for the attack.

At least 10 killed in Mogadishu suicide bombing AFP NewsAFP News – Around 11 people were killed Sunday when a suicide attacker rammed a car laden with explosives into a government convoy at a busy junction in the Somali capital, police said. "Several people have been killed, the blast was big, we are gathering details but the number of those killed is around 11," police official Mohamed Adan said. The blast is the latest in a string of bloody attacks in the seaside capital, where Al-Qaeda linked Shebab insurgents have vowed to topple the government and have set off several bombs and launched guerrilla-style strikes. Adan said that the people inside the armoured government car targeted by the attacker had survived. The car exploded close to a police station at the central K4 roundabout, a busy part of Mogadishu where many people gather to drink tea at roadside stalls. Other police officials said that at least 10 people have been killed. "I saw eight bodies including a woman, some of them were burned very badly by the fire from the explosion," said eyewitness Ali Yusuf. "It was a terrible sight." An AFP reporter on the scene said that the armoured car hit in the attack had been damaged with its back windows blasted out. Abi Mohammed, commissioner of the city's Hodan district where the car exploded, confirmed that a "car bomb targeted an armoured car with a senior delegation" inside. It was not immediatly clear who had been in the armoured car targeted by the attacker.

At least 16 people were killed as two car bombs exploded outside the law courts in Somalia's capital Mogadishu …more MOGADISHU (Reuters) - A car bomb exploded at a busy road junction in the centre of the Somali capital on Sunday, apparently targeting a convoy of vehicles carrying officials, witnesses said. A Reuters photographer said he could see three people lying motionless near the wreckage of four burning cars. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but the attack bore the hallmarks of al Qaeda-linked insurgents who have kept up a campaign of guerrilla-style bombings and killings since they were pushed out of the capital under military pressure. "A car bomb hit a convoy of official cars as they passed through the 'Kilometre 4' junction," shopkeeper Ibrahim Hussein told Reuters. Gunfire rang out in the Kilometre 4 neighbourhood, Mogadishu's commercial and administrative hub, immediately after the blast. The Turkish Embassy is located about 100 metres from the blast site.

Raage omaar is a good man , well done raage.

Naxar we yet have to see, if you closely observe the Somali peninsula it looks like the people and the political leaders are not ready for federalism. The transitional federal government was introduced in 2003, and so far we have one working federal state Puntland ,and even they are operating as an autonomous state sometimes competing with the federal government. The rest seems to be not ready. Galmudug failed to bring on board ximan iyo xeeb , and hiiraan does not want to be under galguduud, And it wants to be 2 regions these are the realities on the ground.The Jubbaland conference causes lots of controversy even between the said so called stake holders Gedo and the other clans of Jubbaland. And the government is not even supporting the conference and is calling it an illegitimate and ill influenced project. So where do we go from here Hassan has been in office and it seems that we will not see existing federal states with their institutions intact when hassans terms end in 3 years time. I think they will put it into referendum the whole constitution and then lets see if people want it or not. But so far no progress was made on federalism in Somalia.

^^ Naxar the central regions galguduud mudug and hiiraan have a hard time accepting the federalism notion of 2 regions or more. We are even having the debate to divide Hiiraan into 2 regions. Also there are many tribes for instance in the Jubbaland formation when we are hearing the noise of smaller tribes saying that they are being dominated against their will. Federalism is not bad but the regions should be mixed. As for Somaliland i can assure you for them that it means little being part of Somalia means the same to them, under a federalism structure or Confederate or unitary system. Means all the same to them. Naxar i will give you an example Khatumo they want to be part of the union but they don't care whether federalism or unitary system is implemented as long as the union remains intact right or wrong? They share the same views as the rest of Somaliland only they prefer to have a union.

Naxar its not that federalism is a bad governing system but its about how is it going to be implemented certain blocks of Somalia have no interests to support a federal Somalia. Nor are the people of those regions being mobilized to support federalism. And than there is the tribal identity in Somalia where smaller tribes are forced to live under the mercy of the larger tribes under a federal state. As for your question on SL i dont think Somaliland minds a unitary or federal state for them its the same, if they cannot be independent than that is either way a loss for them.

^^ It is on paper but practically its seems to be hard to be implemented lets see if in 3 years time federalism is still intact
