For the first time in two weeks, Israel has attacked Syria, with a flurry of missile fire raining down on northwestern Syria’s towns of Haffeh and Masyaf. The towns are just east of Latakia port.
Syrian state media reported that one person was killed and at least six others wounded. They added that a number of the missiles were intercepted. It’s not clear what was being attacked, but the media reported a plastic factory was among the sites hit.
Israel attacks military targets, or warehouses they think are related to Shi’ite militias, almost constantly in Syria. Two weeks ago, Syria had an air defense missile errantly fly into Israel while resisting an attack, which led Israel to threaten more attacks.
As usual, Israel is not commenting on the attack, let alone the rationale for such an attack. There is always speculation that any attack has something to do with Iran, but in this case it seems to just be a plastic factory.
The optics are bad folks. No Iranian presence in a plastic factory and Israel is again giving air support to help their Al Qaeda terrorist allies in northwest Syria. Not to worry, the MSM will blame Syria for attacking Israel’s incoming missiles with their air defense. Do you think I’m kidding? See below:

The Saudis may be cretinous barbarians, but they, too can tell which way the wind is blowing.
“For the first time in two weeks”___ Jason, it sounds like you are desperately anticipating an Israeli air strike in Syria!!! Are you pro Israel…?!
Maybe he was noting that they were less frequent than in the recent past. I get zero impression that Jason is “pro” Israel. Or anti Israel for that matter. He tells the truth about them.
