The Israeli military is reporting that the Iranian Quds Force fired 20 rockets at military outposts in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel reported some of the missiles were intercepted by Iron Dome. There were no casualties reported.
Locals within the Golan Heights reported hearing a number of explosions in the area, and all strikes appear to have been immediately along the frontier between Israeli Golan and Syrian Golan. Israel responded with a military attack on Syria.
The strike on Syria was also not far from the border, against a Syrian base in Quneitra. Syrian state media confirmed the strike against their base, the latest in a series of Israeli strikes on Syria. There is as yet no word on casualties from this strike either.
Israeli officials have been talking up an Iranian “attack” on them for several days, and have been striking Iranian targets in Syria nearly every day since then. Nominally these were preemptive strikes, but it also seems they were determined to provoke a reaction from Iran, and finally have.
What that means now is anyone’s guess. Israel has been threatening to attack Syria and impose regime change if Iran dares to challenge them. It’s not clear this strike in Quneitra is the start of any such thing, however, or just a continuation of months of escalation on the border.
If Russia, Iran, Syria, paid mercs and Lebanon gang up on israel as a unified coalition, israel, which is a cesspool the size of New Jersey, will last three days tops. And no one will care and there will be dancing in the streets except in JerUSAalem.

Israel can’t even handle Gaza and they created Hamas… What makes them think they can accomplish what their terrorist proxies can’t? Will another sleazy Ambulance Chaser Ad/ User car sales pitch from Unctuous Benny seal the deal?
Keeps him out of jail. Keeps Trump out of jail. Doesn’t have to actually make sense. It promises to be another dark and “stormy” night.
The point of this exercise is two fold. One, to keep on saying word “Iran”, so that dumb Americans would think that people in Syria are not really Syrians, but Iranians, and some monsters are there with new weapons if mass distractiin threatenungbpoor Israel. And second, more immediate, is to allow terrorists that Israel is cuddling there, take advantage of attacks on Syria to attack Syrian Army. After all, Syrian Army is niw liberating Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp from ISIS. How dare those Syriranians and thise Russiranians liberating Palestinians, when Israel was hoping ISIS would kill. And thise Turkeiranians have no business ruining Israel’s plans for the Israeli Muddled East. What is next? Will those Syriranians, Russiranians and Turkeiranians, along with Iraqiranians and possibly even Egyptoiranians — occupy Israel’s God given property, Gaza? Seriously, do not this Iranians immitating Russians, Turks or Syrians know that only Israel has the right to occupy other people’s land?
This is likely the start of Netanyahu’s long-dreamed-of war against Iran. Look at the timing: it’s only since May 1 that Netanyahu has had the authority in Israel to start a war with only the approval of the defense minister, that well-known peace advocate Lieberman. And Trump withdrawing from the Iran deal is a green light- although he no doubt just simply got a green light from Trump.
Next we will hear that Iran constitutes an unacceptable threat to world peace, as it is now free of constraints that used to prevent it from seeking a nuclear weapon. And Netanyahu will demand that “the world” take action to prevent Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon.
Now that the end of the Iran deal makes it possible for them to pursue a nuclear weapon.
There’s no other choice now that they are not constrained by the Iran deal.
Which he worked so hard to remove.
Yes, he will prove to have the nerve to make this claim.
What’s the Hebrew word for that again?
If it WAS Iran attacking Israel well Israeli invaded Syria…… we just witnessed the determining of how many missiles it takes to confound Iron Dome, if some missiles did get through we may have seen its weakness, a barrage of lesser missiles then a barrage of significant size missiles actually targeting real targets.
To be fair, Israel has been firing at Iranians in Syria for some time now. Basically as soon as Trump was done talking they launched another raid into Syria, and this time the Iranians responded.
Also to be clear, the Iranians are there with the permission of the UN recognized government of Syria, they have every right to be there.
Also, the Golan heights according to the UN are still Syria so what you have is the invited in Iranians attacking the invading Israeli’s. Doubt that is how it gets reported.
I stopped reading after the first sentence. No one should believe anything that reportedly comes from the Israeli government/military that starts with “Iran.” Just sayin’.
Israel and US have chosen the path of self destruction!
Fake attack, pretext for aggression.
From what i understand, syria has finally decided enough is enough.
they are current engaging in tit for tat mortar and missile strikes between two oupost in the golan.
seems like there have already been several rounds of attack and retaliations, with syrian air defense holding up fairly well.
The only “proof” that it was Iran who fired the missiles into the Golan comes from Israel. Which means it’s useless. In fact, the Syrians have stated that they fired those missiles in retaliation for the hundreds of times the Israelis have attacked them during this conflict. Oh, and just in case anyone still believes that Israel is the victim here…the Golan Height were illegally occupied and annexed by the Jewish State, so any Israeli defending it is technically a war criminal.
