Israeli airstrikes targeted central Syria on Thursday as tensions are soaring in the region amid anticipation of an Iranian reprisal attack on Israel.
A Syrian military source told Al Mayadeen that the strikes targeted several military sites and injured four Syrian soldiers. The strike was launched at about 8:55 pm local time from the direction of northern Lebanon.
Israel typically does not comment on its airstrikes in Syria, and the Israeli military declined to give a statement to Reuters when asked about the attack.
Israel has bombed Syria with impunity for years and significantly ramped up its attacks on the country Since October 7. Some of its strikes in Syria have targeted Iranians, including the April 1 bombing of Iran’s consulate in Damascus, which provoked the first-ever direct Iranian attack on Israeli territory.
Also on Thursday, clashes in eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor province between pro-government Arab tribesmen and the US-backed Kurdish SDF continued. Al Mayadeen reported that the Syrian Army shelled SDF positions and that the US supported SDF artillery strikes.
The Syrian Arab tribesmen launched an operation against the SDF early Wednesday, and the attacks mark the heaviest clashes between the two sides since they engaged in multiple battles last year.
Houthis, Hezbollah, Iran and maybe Syria? That snowball keeps getting bigger.
Also Iraq…! and Hamas…!
Turkey should also be part of the snowball…!
Don’t count on Turkey. They only jump in when their enemy is bloody and can’t fight back.
Why don't we just give up and give Netanyahu the regional war he wants? How much harder do you want him to work?
"Al Mayadeen reported that the Syrian Army shelled SDF positions and that the US supported SDF artillery strikes." "D" in SDF stands for Democratic. LOL. They're Democratic? We're supporting "Democratic" artillery strikes?
Well, Democratic simply means mob rule. And what the mob wants, the mob gets.
LOL. We like to hear it sprinkled around although we know it is not fu@king true. How can a militia force be “Democratic?”
They are Democratic at the point of a barrel.
LOL. And so is our so called Diplomacy.
When will Arab/Muslim/African Nations realize, that nobody is going to defend them against Zionist Nazis? The USA/UK/Europeans, have created the MONSTER Terrorist State of Israel and continue to support their attacks, their assassinations and Genocide. If the so called "Democracies" stopped backing the Terrorist State of Israel, something could happen, like Peace. In the meantime, Arab/Muslim/Africans, need to form a NATO like alliance, an Economic alliance, work together and know their enemy is outside of their boundaries and it is them they have to STOP. STOP doing business with Israel!
Murderous monsters. If Biden had any guts, or morals, he'd tell them they have one day to call a total cease-fire, or ALL aid would stop immediately. And I can think of no good reason to renew it, any of it.
