Israel thwarts a bombing attempt in Golan Heights

Reuters:
An Israeli air strike killed four militants on Sunday as they placed an explosive on a fence near Israel's frontier with Syria in the annexed Golan Heights, an Israeli military source said.

"Four terrorists placed an explosive on a fence near Majdel Shams and an Israeli aircraft shot and killed them," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity, and identifying a village in the territory at the foot of strategic Mount Hermon.

The Israeli military spokesman issued a terse statement saying the air force had thwarted an attack at the Israeli-Syrian border, saying it "targeted the squad, preventing the attack."
...
This follows an attack on a missile installation a day earlier in Syria.  Iran has been trying to establish a new for Hezballah, possibly in anticipation of an Israeli attack on their nuclear facilities.  This latest attempt looks more like a terrorist attack possible in an attempted revenge attack.
