Israel bombs smuggling route from Syria to Lebanon - but Iran claims it hit their field hospital. Which might be the same thing.

On Monday, I wrote in an article about how Iran's Red Crescent Society has been used over the years for smuggling militants and arms to Lebanon:

The Tehran Times reported Sunday that the Iranian Red Crescent Society set up a field hospital on the Lebanon-Syria border - a very convenient way to smuggle arms to Lebanon. Imagine the outcry if Israel would bomb that field hospital - yet it would be completely justified if it has intelligence that it is being used to smuggle weapons to Hezbollah.

My prediction may have come true.

Israel did bomb the road right at that location, but according to Syria reports, only the road:

An Israeli strike hit a road linking Syria and Lebanon Thursday as Israel tries to cut off supply routes of Hezbollah, a war monitor said.

"Israeli aircraft carried out a strike targeting the road linking Syria and Lebanon" in the Quseir region on the Syrian side of the border, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the group with a wide network of sources in Syria, said the strike came as part of Israeli attempts "to cut the supply line to Hezbollah".

There were no casualties.

Now look how Iran reported the story:

The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) has strongly condemned the Zionist Israeli regime's attack on its makeshift hospital on the border between Lebanon and Syria on Thursday.
Pir Hossein Kolivand, the head of the IRCS said that no paramedics was killed in the Zionist regime's aggression.
He said that "Ambulances, field hospital and all the medical equipment and items of this center were destroyed in the attack."

One would think if Israel did burn down a hospital, Lebanese and Syrian media would be reporting it. So far I can only see it in Iranian media, although there is this photo in their stories that does look like a temporary structure burning.
