Syria is Hiding Weapons in Civilian Aid Convoys. Of Course They Are.
Just your average despicable Syrian/Lebanese humanitarian outrage:
The IDF said Syria was continuing to try to smuggle weapons to Lebanon. Israel has attacked several convoys suspected of transporting the weapons. In at least one instance, Israel mistakenly attacked a civilian truck transporting non-military goods. The IDF said it knows Syria is hiding weapons in convoys transporting humanitarian aid to Lebanon.
To stop these convoys, Israel has chosen to bomb roads and bridges so that no transports can get through at all. It's not the ideal solution, but it's better than constantly having to hit civilian convoys because intelligence indicates they're transporting rockets that will be rained down on Israeli homes and schools. Israel's choice is to kill civilians or to blow up roads - they chose to blow up roads, and of course are being criticized for destroying Lebanese infrastructure.
