Israel attacks Syria several times a month lately, and Israeli media outlets aren’t shy about discussing it, even if officially the government doesn’t address the strikes. Defense Minister Naftali Bennett issued a statement continuing this trend on Tuesday.
Bennett did not confirm recent Israeli strikes, the most recent one on Sunday, but didn’t deny them either. He said, however, that Israel “will not stop” with the attacks, and continued to present the strikes as aimed at “blocking Iran’s entrenchment in Syria.”
This has long been Israel’s talking point on these attacks, but while in practice the strikes on Syria often kill foreigners, they are almost never actually from Iran, and Israeli media has taken to treating anyone from any Shi’ite group as “Iranian” for the purposes of reporting.
Syria has tried to scale up its air defenses to intercept Israeli strikes, with some success, but Israel tends to just attack more and more, and so long as they use the Iran excuse, there seems to be little in the way of ramifications for the attacks.
Of course, this is just par for the course. Israel and the US are not accountable to any judiciary, they are pariah states.
we are stratospheres above syria and iran and will continue to drub them into non existence.
At some point, the Syrian government should probably let the Lebanese government know “if you continue letting the Israelis attack us from your airspace, we are eventually going to start holding YOU responsible and retaliating against YOU. On the other hand, if you need help defending your airspace against Israeli incursion, all you have to do is ask.”
Israel won’t discuss being evil…..and won`t stop being evil.
There is only one way to stop Israel from doing this or any other aggression.
There must be a price imposed that is too high for their taste. It must be a painful price. For them, that almost always means it is paid in blood. If it is mere money, they just get a subsidy to cover it. If it is mere disapproval, they just feel self righteous about an “antisemitic” response.
This is sick, and it forces some very sick responses.
