Israeli airstrikes hit Damascus early Thursday morning and wounded two Syrian soldiers, Syria’s SANA news agency has reported.
The report said explosions were heard in Damascus at 1:30 am, and a Syrian military source said Syrian air defenses were “confronting hostile targets.” Besides the two wounded soldiers, material damage was reported as well.
The Israeli warplanes launched the airstrikes from the direction of the Golan Heights. Israel hasn’t commented on the news and typically does not take credit for individual airstrikes in Syria.
The incident marks the fourth time this month that Israel launched airstrikes in Syria. Two of the operations targeted the Aleppo International Airport and temporarily shut it down.
The city of Aleppo was devastated by the earthquake that hit Syria and Turkey on February 6, and the airport has become a vital channel for aid deliveries. Israel began frequently targeting Syria’s airports last year.
Israeli officials claim that their airstrikes in Syria are operations against Iran or Iranian weapons shipments, but they often kill Syrians and damage civilian infrastructure.
In a strange dark twist Netanyahu tell’s Biden to mid his own business.
Netanyahu tells Biden to stay out of Israel’s business [RT]
Keep going and with any luck Biden might just call Bibi’s bluf and cancel US aid to the Israeli sadistic apartheid regime.
Biden would need a lot of ‘luck’.
I didn’t read your comment before I made mine Donna. We think alike. 😉
It is 2000 years of Christian and Islamic sadism that has taught Israel to keep separate and safe
With all due respect Jake, you leave Israel off the list for their crimes? Israel is not just a victim but rather a perpetrator.
Agreed. Why do you not lambast China, North Korea,Iran,Russia,Donbast Nazis,Syria,. To this day,Europe defecates on its remaining Gypsies.
Simply because we are taking about Israel.
Israel should be held to the same standards as an other country. On this site,most inhabitants subscribe to the bile that all the worlds problems are due to Israel and the US, and the bad guys are the good guys. simple enough for ya.
Hi Jake,
I hardly think that is true. Good guys do good things and bad guys do bad things. There is a lot of room for improvement, on all sides.
There are no “good guys” or “bad guys” among nations. There are only countries, each filled with ordinary people who have ordinary human desires.
However, some countries are more powerful than others and use their power to gain more power at the expense of less powerful countries. That happens at the level of government, at a distance from the ordinary people.
Some countries seek to form empires, usually rationalized by a messianic belief that they have figured out a better way for everybody to live. But it usually comes down to improving the lives of a small elite at the center of the empire and degrading the lives of people in the outer region.
That is the way the US government behaves, clothing selfish ambitions in a guise of “promoting liberal democracy” and “expanding free-market economics”. The reality is that the US government is now a corporation-ruled empire based on unrestrained capitalism. And capitalism has an insatiable appetite.
Israel, for the US, is a large unsinkable aircraft carrier positioned in the strategically important Middle East. And even better, it requires no US soldiers or sailors to man that aircraft carrier. That observation was made by US Secretary of State Alexander Haig more than 40 years ago, and remains true now (https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/04/is-israel-americas-ultimate-ally/237864/).
In exchange, the US protects Israel and ignores Israel’s bad behaviors. The two countries have a complex symbiotic relationship. The messianic ideology of Jewish Zionism meshes with Christian Zionism and the ideology of US empire (spreading the gospel of free-market capitalism/liberal democracy).
Israel will sink the moment when the US stops supplying and supporting it.
I’m not so sure about that Southern. Israel has nukes.
The US is their biggest supporter – [Willfully blind as it’s politicians remain to the USS Liberty incident] – without that unwavering support the Zionist who are presently clinging on to political power in would not fare all that well – Something need to be done so in my humble opinion it would at least be one step in the right direction.
Ive been aware of the nukes ever since learning about the Venunu affair in 1988 which caused outrage by a couple of surprised Israeli’s I was working with at the time.
Yes they have them – all the more reason not to support them with blind political support – military equipment and massive financial contributions which no doubt would be better of invested on public infrastructure projects.
The BDS needs to continue like never before – governments around the world -[spineless rubbery sellouts] need to take charge over their sovereignty and follow suit and do what’s right for humanity which includes the plight of the Palestinians.
Course that’s easier said then done – The Israeli’s are massively protesting which is nice to notice – however it’s kinda selfish considering that they never come out in support for the Palestinians.
There was far more to the second ww specially during the lead up to then during and the after I’m referring to the period from 1930 onwards – I look at then and now – the bottomline being that after the Nazi’s were defeated the previously occupied ”territories” quite simply became US vassal states which is suspicious to say the least or perhaps and far more likely it was the intended objective all-along.
the Assad govt does not actually brutalize the Syrian peoples.
i know this because i have friends from Syria and they have told me so. and re: Israel, they routinely attack their neighbors, ie Syria and Lebanon. Israel has long coveted the Litani river which unfortunately for Israel is located in Lebanon. i have no idea why they keep attacking Syria but for some reason they continue to do so.
I have heard the opposite from my friends.So has Amnesty International. The reason that Syria is targeted is to shake up Iranian forces moving towards Israel’s border.Simple.
Have to wonder, Where did Christians and Muslims learn that attitude?
Could it be, Satan?
Just asking on behalf of Church Lady.
There’s no safety in being an apartheid state as it’s bound to provoke a response from everyone who holds humanitarian ideology close to heart.
When it comes to being sadistic Israel is in a league of their own making – for example deliberately targeting civilians recovering from a earth quake by bombing the runway so that no planes with humanitarian supplies would be able to land.
We have a solution for that, Food drops just like they drop weapons and supplies to Isis.
F.e. towards the end of the second ww allied bombers started dropping desperately required food supplies by parachute for millions of starving European – however this wasn’t very profitable for the MIC and preference was given to do a lil more bombing.
Exactly how do you think the
Israeli’ssurvivors of the famous holocoast would respond knowing that American’s companies could have halted essential supplies to the Nazi’s thereby ending the second ww a lot sooner. [neither need they have supplied and financed it in the first place]Somehow I doubt that Israeli’s would know – from what I’ve witnessed they simply have no soul to speak of or the right moral values that get passed down the generations.
The generations before me, the ones that survived the second ww and living under Nazi occupation have I believe taught me the right moral values.
Something that clearly isn’t evident with the Israeli apartheid state of today – where ongoing acts of sadism appears to be it’s signature.
We’d need a ton of luck for that to happen. Bibi wouldn’t have said it if he thought the annual $4 billion was at stake. Israel owns congress, they don’t need the president.
Spot on Wars, spot on.
All good, wistful thinking.
israel will still be collecting US aid long after biden has retired to the old POTUS home
Unfortunately that appears to be highly likely.
May I ask, have you ever investigated how Roosevelt ordered all gold and silver bullion to be handed over in exchange for a worthless gold certificate….the gold and silver ended up in private hands.

Israel aggressing again!
Israel is guilty of ‘selective reasoning’.
