Wednesday’s Israeli attack on the Syrian city of Aleppo killed at least seven people,
according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, in a report
issued after Syrian state media claimed there were no casualties at all.
One Iranian was killed, along with six Iraqi members of Shi’ite
militias. This allowed media outlets, in keeping with the Israeli
narrative to brand everyone slain as an “Iranian-backed fighter.”
The attack hit an industrial area of Aleppo, which led to speculation
that it was hitting a “weapons depot,” though exact details of what was
targeted, or hit, beyond Shi’ites, is no at all clear.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made clear he intends to
carry out strikes against Syria going forward, particularly on anything
he can present as Iranian. Such strikes are likely to escalate in the
lead up to the Israeli election, as it will allow Netanyahu to again
present himself as the more hawkish candidate.
One day….
We keep hearing that.
The longer the marination the sweeter the taste.
I see nothing sweet about people killing each other
But no Israelis were killed in response. There is never any response.
Election-time-in-Israel killings.
If Syria is an ally with Russia, why does Putin allow this? Grow some gonads and respond in kind.
The Saker has a pretty decent analysis as to why Russia doesn’t directly respond in kind to these type attacks on Syria.
Anything specific I can look for? I googled The Saker but couldn’t find anything specific about Russia’s response, or lack of, to these attacks.

Thank you. I wasn’t aware they didn’t have a mutual defense treaty.
My thoughts exactly. Putin needs to climb out of Bibi’s ass and give Syria some descent rocket protection.
Netanyahu is playing us like a bunch of fools, he knows when you drop bombs and kill people you create the very hatred and animosity that you say is the reason you have to kill people in the first place. All in the name of keeping the chosen people pure. Choose peace, it is the better way.
