Israel warplanes were sighted over the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Christmas Eve, firing missiles into neighboring Syria. Locals reported explosions in the Hama Province town of al-Maysaf.
Israeli media reports are presenting this as an attack on a missile factory that was providing arms to Hezbollah. It’s not clear that this is actually the case, but satellite imagery showed damage to multiple sites.
As many as four buildings were destroyed in those attacks, but there is no conclusive report on casualties. Syrian state media reported anti-aircraft systems activating during the attacks, but similarly mentioned no casualties.
Israeli reports are keen to present any attack on Syria as targeting some other Shi’ite group, in this case Hezbollah. This is all in keeping with Israel’s obsession with targeting Iran, and presenting any Shi’ites in the area as Iranian proxies.
Is this christams story? The neighborhood bully attacks and brutalizes at will and whim?
Yes, Iran, with its ten to one advantage, gets thumped again.
Something to warm the cockles of yer heart:
I fail to see your point. Nothing wrong with any ethnic group celebrating their heritage
Seriously? You’re not counting the 535 members of the US congress. Or our veto at the UN. Or our NDAA having a clause that guarantees Israel’s QME in the region. But sure.
I seem to remember a time when after each Arab terrorist attack on Israel,Israel would retaliate.The UN would vote to condemn Israel. The Arabs and their supporters control the UN General Assemlby-proving that the UN is next to worthless.
And each time Israel expands their illegal settlements they can thank the US. Or any time they might be accused of human rights abuses, the US blindly lets them off the hook with the veto. Worthless my ass. And no mention of the grip AIPAC has on our congress? Or nothing about the NDAA which makes it a LAW that Israel keeps their military superiority in the region? Or how about $3.8 billion still being shipped off as people in this country struggle to survive?
Syria has been almost completely destroyed with continuing great numbers of attacks by Israel, with NO justification but its obsessional pretence of being in existential danger from Hezbollah. and Iran. Israel continually violates Lebanon’s airspace and of course is encouraged in its attacks on Syria by the USA, which also has no legal reason.
