Reuters.Syrian U.N. envoy was not aware of any attack by Israel against Syria

Syria's envoy to the United Nations said on Friday he was not aware of any attack by Israel against his country, after CNN reported that two U.S. officials believed Israel had conducted an airstrike on Syria.

"I'm not aware of any attack right now," Syria's U.N. ambassador, Bashar Ja'afari, told Reuters.

Israel has reportedly conducted an airstrike into Syrian territory this evening in a bid to halt the flow of arms out of that country, according to American officials who confirmed with both CNN and NBC News.

According to initial reports, Israeli warplanes were observed over Lebanese airspace, but there is no confirmation that any entered Syria’s.

According to CNN, US and Western intelligence agencies are reviewing classified data showing that Israel most likely conducted a strike in the Thursday-Friday time frame.
