Israel Bombs Syria After Interim Government Demands Israeli Withdrawal
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, at least two people are dead after Israel's military launched
air raids on the capital and parts of southern Syria. On Tuesday,
low-flying Israeli warplanes rattled residents of Damascus before
dropping bombs on the nearby town of Kiswe. Separately, Israel bombed
sites in the southern province of Daraa. Israel's military later said it
had struck military command centers and "multiple sites containing
weapons." The attacks came just hours after Syria's transitional
government demanded that Israel withdraw from Syrian territory it has
occupied since rebels ousted Bashar al-Assad in December.
