Sharon: Israel Will Strike All Enemies

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said that his nation would not hesitate to attack its enemies wherever they were. Syria's president countered that the raid - targeting what Israel said was a Palestinian militant training camp - would only enhance his country's power in the Middle East. The raid raised concern in Israel and the Arab world that the Palestinian conflict could widen into a regional crisis if Israel begins pursuing militants in neighbouring nations. With tensions high after the strike, there was shooting and mortar fire overnight along the border between Israel and Lebanon, where Syria is the main power-broker. Sharon's statement came two days after Israeli warplanes bombed a suspected Islamic Jihad training base outside the Syrian capital of Damascus in the first major Israeli attack on Syrian soil in three decades.
