Israeli airstrikes hit targets near the Syrian capital of Damascus on Monday night, wounding two Syrian soldiers, Syrian news agency SANA reported.
The SANA report said some missiles were intercepted and that the strikes caused some damage but didn’t specify what the targets were. It said the Israeli Air Force launched the airstrikes from over the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel.
According to The Times of Israel, Israelis filmed IAF jets flying over northern Israel around the time of the strikes. Israel frequently bombs Syria but rarely comments on its operations in the country and has not acknowledged the Monday night airstrikes.
Earlier this month, Israeli airstrikes were reported in southern Syria, although they weren’t confirmed by Syrian media. But a few hours after the reported strikes, the Israeli military dropped threatening leaflets in the area, warning Syrian soldiers against cooperation with Israel.
Last week, the head of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said Israel was responsible for the bombing of a truck convoy in November that was entering Syria from Iraq in a rare Israeli acknowledgment of an individual airstrike in Syria.
Israel frames its operations in Syria as operations against Iran and Hezbollah, but Israeli attacks often kill Syrian soldiers and damage civilian infrastructure. This year, Israel launched multiple airstrikes against the Aleppo and Damascus international airports.
Israel behaves like judge, jury and executioner with regard to its targets and tactics…. If other countries behaved like this, there would be serious repercussions…
Where are the Ruskies when needed ?
they are preoccupied
Only executioner. No judge or Jury
The people of Israel either don’t know or don’t care about what their Govt does in their name after all they are the chosen people.The beast of the East.Tghe other possibliity is they are like the citizens of the US,ignorance is bliss and the people have no voice in military operations.
The people of Israel know what their government does and they just endorse whatever those beasts do. How else a man Netinyahu gets elected. Not like America where Zionist corporate media impaired the faculty of ordinary Americans and they are just not aware of what is Happening. Except those affect their daily lives Only the Zionists are privy to and formalise the agenda and others who assist them are just dogs of Zionists It is a fact and you say so publicly you become a conspiracy theorist or anti Semitic and banished from public discourse and lives destroyed
Don’t beat around the bush. How do you really feel about the Jews?
You seriously don’t know how we all feel? Please allow me to educate you and ease your concerns about what we discuss here at antiwar.com. Here’s our official response:

The great thing about this article is you can read it more than once. You can read it all day long. If you have questions, I don’t have answers. I don’t question God. If you still have questions, read that article again. Peace.
Excellent. And beyond the headline did you actually read the article? If you did, please summarize for me what you took from it in one or two lines
Why do I have to summarize it for you? You seem smart enough and have time to track and censor us here. I’m not your slave.
On the contrary. I don’t want to censor you. I’d just like you to say what you really mean rather than refer me to a Wikipedia article.
LOL. So, you don’t want to censor me and yet you waste your precious time to make sure I say what I mean? That’s funny.
Ya. I really don’t understand you. Don’t worry about my precious time. But if I want you to say what you mean, how is that censoring you? I think you’re censoring yourself
Your question is not a question, but baiting so that you can question every syllable. How do you feel about Jews?
They don’t care.
If Israel Had any judges or juries the Palestinians would be in a lot better condition…!
Some things in this world never change. Among them is Israels history of attacking their neighbors,Syria,Egypt,Lebanon,Palestine.Theirvwar never ends. With 100 or so Nukes and a great airforce plus Mossad and the IDF why do they worry? Their is no military power in the MidEast to challenge their country. The answer must be somewhere else.
Who attacked who in 1948 and 1973? In 1967,the president if Egypt said his mission was to destroy Israel-he got a butt kicking.
Who attacked the U.S.S. Liberty. Who pushed 700,000 Palestinians off of their soil? You know very well the war in 1973 was to regain what Israel appropriated for itself in 1967. You know very well that Israel attacked first in 1967, not because of threats, but to annex more lands. Moshe Dayan said as much. Allon stated that if Israel was still an occupier ten years from 1967, then the Israel ideals were shattered.
The Egyptians kicked UN peacekeepers out of Sinai in 1967
They blockaded the straits of Tiran, an international waterway which is an act of war. After the war Israel offered peace for withdrawals from captured territories. The Arabs responded with the famous “3 nos” in Khartoum. No negotiation, no recognition, no peace.
Do not revise history. These are the facts. No side is perfect. It’s clear that most hostilities were initiated by the Arab side. It’s also clear that israel has made offers of peace, however imperfect, to the Palestinians. All rejected.
