On Wednesday night, Israel carried out a series of missile attacks against a Syrian Army base south of Damascus. Missiles were fired from the occupied Golan Heights.
Speculatively, Israeli media are saying Iranian troops might sometimes use that base. Israel, as usual, isn’t commenting on why they’re attacking Syria, however.
Indications are that the base sustained damage, and some damage was done in the town of Zakiya. There have been no reports of any casualties.
Interestingly, there was no report of Syrian air defenses being activated either. Usually Syria emphasizes the ability to intercept the missiles, but in this case they don’t appear to have bothered.
Is Russia getting poked in the eye with a stick after critical comments and sending the defense minister to Syria?
You’d think so. They come right on the heels of a Russian spokesperson saying, “they are a crude violation of Syria’s sovereignty”. But it’s hard to tell since there are weekly bombings. Someday shit will seriously hit the fan.
Sometimes I think that Israel would love to see WWIII. In their military capacity, they do not seem to be too cautious, they seem to throw all caution to the wind… Perhaps they are hoping to be able to use their nukes…
Israel using the word “might” about Iran sometimes using that base is hardly conclusive, it is speculative…
Hi Donna
IsraHell bombs WHO it wants, WHEN it wants, because it’s never held accountable for anything it does.
I think your point to be entirely valid. Israel is never held to account. They seem to hold themselves in a higher position than the rest of the world… though, I wish it were not so. Everyone must be held to account for their actions…
Well Donna, they’re “chosen” 😉
By who or what though is highly questionable
Israel as usual is not commenting. Of course. There is an appropriate name for such silence. The silence of a whore. My, Israel us really, really asking for trouble,
Hi Bianca
And I sincerely hope it finds it.
