In response to the suicide bombing in Haifa 12 hours earlier by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad , four Israeli Air Force 110 " Knights of the North " Squadron F-16Cs attacked an alleged Palestinian militant training camp about northwest of the Syrian capital Damascus . A single civilian guard was reportedly injured in the strike , the first in Syrian territory in nearly thirty years . The jets took off from Ramat David Airbase at 03:00 and headed north over the Mediterranean before turning east , crossing the coastline into Lebanon and approaching the target from the west . It is uncertain whether the aircraft actually crossed the border into Syria proper as the exact type of munitions used is unknown and the target is located close to the Syrian-Lebanese border
