Translation by "Jerusalem" dot com - The Israeli Army Chief of Staff , Aviv Kochavi , revealed today, Thursday, that his forces attacked a target in a third geographical area outside the borders, in conjunction with the military operation in Gaza against Islamic Jihad .

Kochavi said at a conference of heads of the "education department" in the Israeli army, that his forces attacked a third country during the operation against Gaza ten days ago, which also coincided with a campaign of arrests in the West Bank, while his forces defended what he called "the rest of the country's borders."

Kochavi indicated - as reported by Reshet Kan channel - that his forces hit Tayseer al-Ja'bari, a leader in the Islamic Jihad, with great accuracy, and succeeded in killing him with a surgical operation.

It seems that Kochavi was referring to hitting targets in Syria. Syrian opposition media reported that the Israeli army had struck military points on the border with the Golan where Hezbollah members were stationed.
