Israel launched air strike on Syrian military facility to 'maintain security'

| Pre-emptive attacks are an Israeli speciality, but action does not obviously herald wider international involvement in Syrian crisis
Syria's crisis always attracts intense international attention when outsiders get involved – especially Israel. Damascus called the latest raid "a declaration of war" but it was probably intended as something more limited – to maintain Israel's own security "red lines", irrespective of the wider picture.
Pre-emptive attacks are an Israeli speciality – from the 1967 assault on Egypt and Syria through the 1981 bombing of Iraq's nuclear reactor to last year's strike on an Iranian-built factory in Sudan supplying weapons to Gaza .
By all accounts, the raids near Damascus at the weekend were intended to stop advanced missiles being delivered to the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is allied to Syria and backed by Iran.

The real problem was simple: Sudan had given refuge to Osama bin Laden, who even then was not a very popular man. As punishment, Congress passed a package of hard-hitting sanctions that severely limited Sudan's ability to trade and stunted its economy.
Before the sanctions were passed, however, nervous lobbyists representing some of America's biggest corporations fought to include one exception. They were successful, as well-funded lobbyists so often are, and exempted was a hard, translucent resin known as gum arabic. Sudan could export as much of it as they liked.
