Report: Rockets in Western Attack against Syria May Cross Lebanese Airspace
Rockets launched in a western-led attack against Syrian regime targets may pass through Lebanese airspace, reported As Safir newspaper on Saturday.
French military sources told the daily that the attack will place Lebanon at the forefront of the war against Syria, seeing as American warships have started to head to the Mediterranean.
Other military sources voiced their fears however that a French-backed attack against Syria will provoke a retaliation against French interests in Lebanon, namely its unit in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.
The United States has been leading efforts to garner support for a brief military strike against the Syrian regime in light of reports that it had launched a chemical attack in the Ghouta region near Damascus last week.
France has been a main supporter of these efforts.
