Israeli airstrikes against the Syrian Tryas Military Airbase have left at least 12 people dead, and considerable damage. There are claims that fighter jets and cruise missiles were involved in the attack.
Locals reported over 20 missiles hit the site, and Syrian media initially expressed the belief that this was a US attack. The Pentagon denied involvement, however, and both US and Russian officials have since confirmed the attack was Israeli.
Israel attacks Syria often enough that this makes sense, and the fact that the attacking planes were said to have come from Lebanese airspace also suggests Israel, as that is their standard method of strikes against Syrian targets. The base attacked, indeed, was attacked by Israel just back in February.
Israel is believed to be using a Dolphin Class submarine for the missile attacks, and their usual array of warplanes for the airstrikes. Israeli Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef has said that Israel has a “moral obligation” to intervene in Syria militarily.
Israel, of course, has not confirmed being behind the attack. This is not uncommon for Israel, who has acknowledged only a tiny fraction of the myriad attacks they’ve carried out against Syria in recent years.

God bless Israel!
Why? The gas attack was probably from the rebels or ISIS.
Once again, the MADMAN in the Middle East, Netanyahu, tries to drag the USA into another WAR FOR ISRAEL. It’s time to BAN DUAL CITIZENS from serving in any capacity in the US Government, just like Putin did to defeat them in Russia.
Putin friend .
Doesnt Putun bomb Syria all the time
Putin sure ran ISIS (the CIA) out of Syria fast.
Isis is the CI A?
And 9 11 was an inside job or done by Isreal.
Flat earth society is back on line
Bin Laden was trained by the CIA in Afghanistan.
Not really
Ha ha hasbara.
Do you have a job?
Your point?
Do you have a job? I wanna know who i am talking to

You’re right. I didn’t go to college. I went to university.
Loser.

University was free when I went, loser.
Ah an old Neo Nazi.
LOLz. I’m a leftie, loser. Looks to me that you’re of the fascist persuasion.
The fascist you see is yourself when you look in the mirror
Left wingers can be fascists take youself for an example
Fascism is a right wing authoritarian phenomenon and only moronic, right wing losers like you pretend that fascism can be a left wing (anti-capitalist) movement.
Interestingly, many of the most violent zionist groups are fascists.
Sure it can be left wing . when they are authoritarian and intolerant of dissent and fee speach
Just like yourself
No they can’t, loser.
Yes they can you old left wing fascist bigot
No, you silly zionist moron. Fascism is corporatism i.e. rule for the rich. What the left opposes.
What a dopey, uneducated loser you are.
You exhibit fascistic ctendencies you old guy bigot
I’m a leftist anti-fascist, anti-racist.
You are a zionist, which is a racist political ideology that has spawned a fascist ‘state’ based on ethnic cleansing, genocide and colonialism.
You’re a loser, a racist, an islamophobe and an all round scum bag whose only tactic is piss poor attempts at ad hominem.
You are a bigot and a facist israel enemies are racist and fascist that is why the engaged in a war of anhilation in 1948 war crime
Sided with the Nazi s war crime
And persecuted arb jews war crime
Seems that you are here yelling at dissenters. Trying to shut free speech down on behalf of the murderous, racist, zionist entity.
And your poor command of English is showing, sweet cheeks.
Seems you are the one who says anyone who disagrees with you is an agent of Isreal. I have been using a smart phone the entire time you old fascist bigot
I haven’t called anyone any such thing, loser.
I think you’re more likely just a useful idiot that’s been brainwashed by the zionist media.
But your English is poor. And your intellectual capacity is obviously limited.
Hasbra ???
Fascist creep

YOU ARE SUCH A CLOWN!
but you think Israel is like the Nazis’ right?
Bingo.
Do you have a job bingo
Totally. And more recently the CIA have been training alNusra, Al-Qaeda in Syria, to bring down Assad. They’ve always seem Islamist extremists as an asset.
https://www.google.co.kr/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2011/may/03/osama-bin-laden-10-myths-cia-arsenal
So you think we should take the CIA at their word? Don’t you think that’s a little naive?
Seriously? You’re one of a small percentage of Americans who still believe the “official” 911 lies?
911 conspiracy theorist s = urban terrorst wannabes
I don’t think he’s an American somehow. More likely from a small Eastern Mediterranean ‘state’ that won’t declare its borders.
John, I believe you are correct!!!
Clown
Of course Israel’s fingerprints all over 911. Denial.
9 11 conspiracy theorists
Terrorists
The official story we were fed was a doozy of a conspiracy theory.
911 conspiracy theorists are terrorists
So you believe that:
1) 9/11 was planned and carried out by one person; and that
2) Everyone but you and that one 9/11 attacker is a terrorist?
By the AL Qadia group
In other words, you are a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. You believe that a conspiracy, including but likely not limited to 19 hijackers and the al Qaeda command structure, conspired to carry out the attacks.
Others disagree with you as to who the conspirators included, as well as other details.
Now, to be fair, some conspiracy theories have less evidence for them than others.
For example, supporters of the “inside job” conspiracy theory have yet to produce a shred of credible evidence after more than 15 years and have mostly been reduced to pretending that the 3 hour, 20 minute collapse of WTC 7 was “free fall speed” and so forth, while supporters of your theory have Osama bin Laden admitting to the attacks on video.
But a theory concerning a conspiracy is, by definition, a conspiracy theory.
https://www.counterpunch.org/2006/11/28/the-9-11-conspiracists-and-the-decline-of-the-anmerican-left/
So is your conspiracy thery
What theory is that?
Why dont you state your ” theory of 9 11″
I have no specific theory. Only question the ridiculous official theory.
I think the conspiracy is that you are out to misinform people.
Denial
No, that would be Netanyahu
what would be I am sorry?
“The US presence, comparatively, is limited, but simply by maintaining a presence, the United States signals that it has Israel’s back — freeing Israel to take action, as it did in February when Israel retaliated with airstrikes on Iranian targets in Syria after an Iranian drone entered Israeli airspace.”
That becomes a much shakier proposition absent a US presence, said Moshe Maoz, Israel’s preeminent Syria expert.”
https://www.timesofisrael.com/mixed-messages-from-washington-over-syria-raise-concerns-in-israel/
Netanyahu tweet this past week:
“I spoke yesterday with President Donald Trump about regional
developments and Iran. I thanked President Trump for his commitment to Israel’s security and America’s support for Israel at the United Nations.”
Israel’s security (as is) is supported by most of the world; but, when I consider their real goal is THE GREATER ISRAEL and look at a map of land they covert and plan to acquire by conquest, I draw the line.

Tell the truth,,,AMEN!!!!!
Official Syrian media says Israel did it. https://sana.sy/en/?p=133588
I agree 100%, mate. Bibsy the madman once again tried to drag the US into another war for Israel. It’s long time we kick out all dual citizens from serving in any capacity in the USG, just as Putin had done to defeat them in Russia.
It was dual citizens in all levels of the USG who dragged the US into the two Iraq wars, Afghanistan war (17 yrs. and counting), Somalia, Libya and Syria. This is why all dual citizens in gov’t must be kicked out; they’re traitors. Period.
SYRIA NEEDS TO RESPOND BY ATTACKING TEL AVIV.
very anti war. By the way Assad has killed thousands . Never bothered you or your kind in the least.
Syria & Russia, both terrified of Israel, will do noting except “protest” & snivel.
So Israel hasn’t claimed responsibility for the strikes,America hasn’t claimed responsibility but,the headline on this site is “Israel Attacks ” ? Where’s the proof? Isn’t this the same site that’s asking for proof that Assad gassed his own people but, with no proof is pushing the narrative that Israel attacked Syria,before America bombs Assads military? Why is the person writing these stories so skeptical of the entire western world’s perspective but,is quick to embrace the narrative Russia is pushing? Why the double standard I thought this was an antiwar platform that doesn’t choose sides?
” I thought”
So far, all available evidence contradicts that claim.
When I said I thought I was saying “I thought this site was an antiwar platform that doesn’t choose sides”as in un-biased and it’s purpose was to prevent war and save lives,not promote anybody’s military.
The purpose of Antiwar.com is to oppose war. And it does.
Syria thought the attack came from the US but it turned out to be Israel. So Syria was right.
