Following up on last night’s Israeli attack on Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the incident Monday, saying it targeted arms depots, and killed at least nine pro-government forces, all identified as “non-Syrian,” though the Observatory was unsure where they were from.
The attack started after midnight, and lasted a half hour. Syrian state media reports that most of the Israeli missiles were intercepted. The Israeli government has refused to comment on the attack.
Rumors are that the slain were Afghan or Pakistani Shi’ite militia members, which is common for Israeli attacks. Israel only rarely targets Syrian troops, despite attacking Syrian territory several times per month.
Israeli media tends to spin these actions as attacks on Iran, because the targets are Shi’ites. Since Iran has relatively few people in Syria, they too are rarely directly targeted, and this is mostly just a question of spinning it.
The missiles are intercepted, why not the aircraft?
If I’m not mistaken, the aircraft usually fire their missiles from outside Syrian airspace. The violate Lebanese airspace and fire from there.
It would just be a damn shame if some effective SAMs suddenly popped up in southern Lebanon without notice.
Thats what anti radiation missiles are for.
Syria attacked Israel in 1948, 1967 & 1973 & still refuses to sign a peace treaty. Israel needs to prevent Syria from building up its weapons for its next attack against Israel.
What are the terms of the peace treaty that Israel has offered and Syria has refused to sign?
Hmmm
This and other minor attacks by israel are dutifully “reported” by the online media despite rarely receiving any coverage at all in the MSM. Sadly, what is not being reported with any regularity is the weapon of mass destruction that israel is using against the nearly 10 Million Muslims/Christians in israel, the State of Palestine, the independent city of Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan Heights. And that weapon of mass destruction is COVID-19. It turns out despite having already managed to vaccinate nearly the entire Jewish populations in all of these places, israel has thus far only delivered 5000 vaccines for the 10 Million gentiles.
There is no question however that any news coverage of israel war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide is still better than none at all…
