A number of civilian casualties were reported Monday when overnight airstrikes carried out by Israel, hitting targets across Syria, ended up hitting a suburb near one of its intended targets near Damascus.
Syrian state media reported that the Israeli strike killed 4 civilians and wounded 21 others. The Syrian Observatory, however, suggested that 6 civilians were slain in the overnight attack. Israel has not commented.
Israel regularly carried out attacks inside Syrian territory, nominally to attack Iran. These mostly cover military targets, although they are clearly not perfect at their targeting of sites.
Indications are that the Israeli warplanes were in Lebanese airspace at the time of the attack. This is common, as the Lebanese military lacks serious air defense to prevent Israeli incursions, and seems to be a favored staging area for aerial attacks into neighboring Syria.
Lisping Bashar does not care how many of his people the Israelis kill. He is as useless and impotent as all the other Muslim “leaders.”
Bibi and Bolton send their regards.
You cannot be serious. Assad is the strongest, most resolute leader in all the Middle East. He cannot attack the US and its 52nd state Israel by himself without signing the death warrant of millions of Syrians.
That S-300 system must be made of paper mache.
Syria can’t indiscriminately launch S-300 into another country’s airspace.
Imagine if they hit a commercial jetliner. Or did you forget how a Russian recon plane was used as a shield and was hit by one of their air defenses?
Oh please.
That is why the IDF strikes from Lebanon. By the way, a one-month old baby was killed in this strike.
These Israeli airstrikes are purely to distract Assad from the progress he is making against the Turks and CIA/Mossad head choppers in Syria’s Idlib Provence. When that nasty little nest is cleared up he can turn his attention to Israel, unless we are at war with Iran by then. If that happens, all bets are off.
Complete main stream media blackout of this attack by Israel.
