A new round of Israeli airstrikes hit Eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor Province, killing 14 fighters from Iran and Iraq, and injuring a number of others, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. This is the seventh Israeli attack in Syria in the past two weeks.
These latest attacks were presented as targeting Syrian military bases and a “chemical research lab.” There was speculation of chemical weapons development at the site, but there is no evidence being provided that this is actually the case.
Israeli attacks generally attack Shi’ite groups in Syria, and label them “Iranians” generally, whether they are from Iraq, Iran, or Afghanistan. Israeli officials have indicated that such attacks will continue going forward.
Israeli attacks have been escalating in recent weeks, mostly hitting the same sorts of targets. Syria has mostly emphasized their ability to intercept such incoming missile fire, though they only intercept a fraction of the overall salvos.
One of these days Israel, the schoolyard bully is going to be beat down hard. The sooner the better.
Israel has been under attack since day one. Its neighbors have attacked again & again & refuse to sign peace treaties. Israel needs to stop its enemies from acquiring weapons for the next attack against Israel.
They could make peace, if they’d make reasonable compromises. They won’t. They want it all, and they are taking it all by force.
Heard that one way too many times.
And would not take an issue — if it is not for people like you defending every crime and cruelty committed by the same state.
And from the same guy!
are old fashioned marches to the sea illegal. the gazans, e jerusalemites and west bank squatters had better charter some vessels soon.

Evidence? Israel said so. And they know they’re killing Iranians because they said so. They better latch on to the next superpower because their sugar daddy is going down. But they will continue getting their 4 billion a year until the last American starves to death.
too bad it wasn’t 140 iranians. they were helping assad develop stronger chemicals to kill more of his citizens that oppose him most likely.
Look at me, I’m a troll.
Don’t be ridiculous.
Hallucinating a little?
And at the rate the US is going – that will not be long . I mean the starve to death part.
The way things look — something is going to happen, as the big power tensions and provocations are at a very high level.
Russia and Turkey will turn Idlib around by turning the locals against HTS and their funding arm, White Helmets. This is done by Turkey controlling aid, as all other avenues are cut off to route it to HTS. Turkey is moving weapons in — and the last effort by Western sponsored HRS to block M-4 highway where Russian-Turkish patrols are passing fizzled. Turkey broke blockade and protests. Now the game of attrition.
As the tensions are getting higher, any entanglement US gets into in Indo-Pacific, may not end well. Which may result in Israel getting a stern message to stay out of Syria.
It is amazing that Israel is not making any efforts to get deals in the area.
Its hand may be strong — but in my opinion
IT HAS BEEN OVERPLAYED.
