Militants had abandoned Israel's Syrian target

Syrians were fixing shattered windows and doors and cleaning their homes today, a day after Israeli warplanes attacked and heavily damaged a nearby camp that was formerly run by Palestinian militants.

A resident of Al-Dreij said he went down to the targeted area hours after the attack and found parts of Russian-made automatic rifles, which he gathered and handed over to police. Al-Dreij is about 15 miles north-west of the Syrian capital of Damascus.
