Israeli tanks have reportedly attacked and destroyed a Syrian military observation post in the Golan Heights, near the village of Malgah. The site was destroyed, and there is no word of casualties.
Israel’s government has declined comment, noting it is their policy not to address attacks on targets unless they are specific retaliation for something. This strike does not appear to have had a provocation.
The area where the post is located is part of the demilitarized zone between Syrian Golan and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israeli planes reportedly dropped leaflets admonishing Syrian troops to stay out of the area.
This is not entirely uncommon, as Syria has long tried to maintain a series of observation sites to keep an eye on Israeli forces looming along the border. Israel doesn’t constantly attack such outposts, but will at times get riled up and destroy several within a short span of time. Whether this incident will kick off a new series of strikes remains to be seen.
A slight tweak to make this article more “unbiased:” Unkown “…tanks have reportedly attacked and destroyed a Syrian military observation post in the Golan Heights.” There, I fixed it. No need to be more careful in writing those “antiwar” articles.
Why was the Syrian military is a supposedly “demilitarized ” zone?
why were israeli tanks in a supposedly demilitarized zone
Israel is a giant ball buster…. if anyone did this to Israel, the response would be nuclear war…
But Donna, how I wish someone…ANYONE…would give IsraHell a taste of its own medicine!
My bet is on Iran.
” . . . This strike does not appear to have had a provocation.”
“This strike”? meaning Israel is always provoked before it attacks? That little “this” in that sentence is a subtle cover for Israel in the media, but what else is new?
Truth be- Israel NEVER attacks after being provoked. It creates the “provocation”(false flag) THEN attacks! Who n their right mind wants to give Israel a “justification” to attack them? It’s bad enough having to put up with Israel’s phony “excuses’ for attacks.
Fair enough…
