JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel's military says it has launched an airstrike on its border with Syria after spotting militants carrying a bomb.

A military statement Sunday night said it launched the strike after troops saw "a group of armed terrorists" approach the border with an explosive that could target Israeli troops.
