Alongside Israel’s drone attack on the Iranian city of Isfahan, Israel carried out missile strikes against army targets in southern Syria, hitting air defense sites in the southern Daraa Province and Sweida Province, near the Jordanian border.
Six Israel warplanes were said to be active across the south of Syria in the course of the attacks. They went after a radar site in the area, which was connected to Syria’s comparatively advanced air defense systems.
The Syrian Defense Ministry reported the air defense unit was struck by missiles, and caused material damage. It is unclear if there were any casualties, but so far there has been no report of them.
Interestingly, though the warplanes were active across the area for quite some time, it does not appear that Syria’s air defense systems were activated against them and no attempt was made to shoot them down.
Timed concurrently to the Iran attack, it is probable that Israel considered this part of their “retaliation” against Iran, as they treat Syria as a de facto proxy of Iran.
Israel carries out attacks on Syria fairly regularly, and there have been over a hundred such strikes against targets inside Syria, mostly targeting Syria’s military or its Iranian advisers.
Now why wouldn’t those six warplanes be activated against Iran? Why is Israel continuously pounding sand when it could be a city?
The city may fire back. Gaza is easier.
Why dont you tell us, ANAL YZER?
Live up to your BS name for once.
Use the internet. It helps.
Make sure to wear a hard hat at a construction site.
Israel is aiming for WWIII. Strike a match and once it is alight, you have a fire. Who’s next and what is Israel’s true motivation?…
You suck, donna.
No, seriously. You do.
You are horrible.
You need to learn from true peace activist.
Russia is losing patience with Israel as demonstrated by the Russian diplomatic mission, among others, walking out of the UNSC meeting when the Israeli ambassador began to speak.
It’s only a matter of time before Russia gives Syria the green light to use its Russian-supplied air defense system to target Israeli jets. And then only a small amount of time after that before Russia begins to use its actual S-400 in Israel – which so far is only used to defend Russian assets in Syria – to target Israeli jets. That’s when Israeli attacks on Syria will stop.
Of course, by then we’ll be in a major war with Iran, so it won’t matter.
It’s about time and long overdue. Putin better watch out from the ghost of F@nny K. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_Kaplan
S-500 anti aircraft missiles.
S-500?
Are those the intergalactic ones?
They are as bad as your midget boss, putin 🤣
If this was the Israeli response, it was an epic failure and demonstration of weakness. It was a total joke.
By contrast, Iran’s strike on Israel was a total game changer. It demonstrated that even with more than 5 hours warning, Iran could still penetrate Israel’s AD systems and strike Israel at will, whenever and wherever it wants, at any time it chooses.
Iran has explicitly warned Israel not to hit it’s interests ever again, or Israel will face a genuine Iranian attack.
Will Bibi and his fellow Zionist lunatics listen to Iran’s explicit warnings? Will they hit Iranian interests? I’d like to believe that they have got the message, but I fear they haven’t.
Iran, attack was total failure. Over 300 projectiles fired and only a few came close to their target. And unless their target was dirt, the ones that made it all missed. Meanwhile, the failure rate of the ballistics missiles was near 50 %.
Lucky for Iran, appeasement Biden prevented a serious counter strike by Israel.
According to the dictator lovers on this site it was a total success 🤣🤷🏽♂️
I’m not sure that this will have been the only response. Israel has to be very careful about sending aircraft and missiles through potentially hostile airspace (in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, or Lebanon) whenever it tries to strike Iran. The initial attack could be seen as a clearing operation.
The reason our ruling Kindergartners don’t want to end their lost Ukraine war and save 100K or more Ukraine lives, aside from doing so would tacitly admit their bloody hands have created yet another in a series of catastrophic failures over the past 30 years, is they don’t want to free up Russia to engage in their ongoing ME failure.
They want to destroy Russia via a thousand cuts. Ukraine is one more cut.
Fortunately, Russia is finding ways to cope. And is keeping a cool adult attitude. As if they were a postman dealing with an ankle-biting dog. Annoying yes, but not something to cause you to lose your temper.
Some dogs get rabies.
Are put down.
They also seem completely oblivious to the facts. The Russian economy is getting stronger. The EU is going into recession. US debt is going through the roof. The cost of energy (and therefore inflation) continues to rise. Nations are turning away from the US Dollar.
They are cutting themselves with bravado, while treating their own like lemmings.
And it’s the US turning others from the $. It’s amazing to witness.
Rates might increase if gold continues to rise. However, with deep sea mining, gold will likely crash.
But maybe Russia, the US, and China are on the same team somewhat. Maybe there’s some plan. Who knows?
And what does that have to do with Israel and Syria?
Russia supports Syria.
Our creation, ISIS, the child of Al-queda, whom we created to fight the Russians in Afghanistan, is our foreign legion. It has been attacking Syria for a long time, and it was probably active in the atrocity at the concert in Moscow, interestingly after “cookies” Nuland predicted “nasty surprises” for Russia. Of course Russia supports Syria. We are there for the oil. We have made a deal with the devil (Israel) for the oil.
I somewhat expect Ukrainian expats will become a sort of nationalist ISIS, making attacks where useful to the US. I dunno how interesting that is.
More BS from the „14,000 killed 6 in Donetsk” 🤣
And Nuland? Again?
Seriously?
So what?
Russian resources are divided among various conflicts. Armenia might be another.
Russia betrayed Armenia. They pulled out.
Or should i say, got kicked out for betrayal.
I assume they couldn’t be stretched so thin, but maybe Russia is wooing Turkey.
You support Russia
I support America.
No, the real reason is because Putin is still inside Ukraine with his army committing genocide, you POS.
No, the “real” reason Putin’s army is still in Ukraine is because the US, via Boris Johnson, squashed the Ukraine-Russia 03-04/22 Istanbul initialed peace deal leaving Ukraine’s border as was and 500K+ Ukrainians alive in exchange for neutrality and ethnic Russians minority rights. We know this from the Ukraine negotiators.
If Russia wanted to commit genocide they’d need lessons from Israel who’s murdered 2% of the Gaza population in 6 mos while 0.025%, or 10.2K civilians have died in 2 years of the Ukraine war.
What’s the point in buying extremely expensive air defense systems if you’re afraid to use them?
Because the extremely expensive system does not work so well.
Once they are used, the enemy knows where they are. It’s a game of cat and mouse.
