Continuing Israel’s recent attacks into Syria, attack helicopters crossed the line of control into the Syrian Golan on Thursday, attacking a number of Syrian military positions around the area.
Details on what was being targeted or why was not entirely clear. Israeli media suggested Hezbollah was being targeted, while Syrian state media reported a civilian was killed in the attack.
A lot of speculation was that Israel believed Hezbollah was setting up infrastructure in this area, and believed Syria’s government was helping. This once again marks Israel attacking Syria with an eye toward hitting non-Syrians.
Earlier this week, Israel attacked Damascus with an eye toward killing Palestinians, and for months have been attacking Iranians and Iraqis. That even now it’s about Lebanese Hezbollah gives the impression Israel doesn’t want to be public about attacking Syria, despite all of the attacks being on Syria.

Israel has no morals at all.
Disgusting and reprehensible! But the UN is toothless.
The speculation about Hezbollah trying to organize in the Golan area is probably correct. I’ve read that before. Hezbollah would like to be able to attack Israel from two sides rather than one as an even better deterrent to Israel attacking Lebanon.
Also, I believe the US just sanctioned some more Hezbollah officials. That, combined with this attack, appears to be intended by Israel to continue to ramp up the notion that the US should attack Hezbollah in support of Israel’s next invasion of Lebanon – which is inevitable.
Hollywood is also involved. The current season of the show “Seal Team” has the team in Venezuela – fighting Hezbollah, which according to myth is engaged in drug running in South America, something I rather doubt. That kind of propaganda is invaluable to Israeli influence in the US.
