Israeli airstrikes hit targets near the Syrian city of Aleppo early Monday morning, resulting in heavy casualties.
“The Israeli enemy launched an air attack from the direction of southeastern Aleppo, targeting some sites in the vicinity of Aleppo,” a military source told Syria’s SANA news agency. “The aggression led to a number of martyrs and some material losses.”
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that 12 “pro-Iranian” fighters were killed, a term it usually uses to describe Iraqi Shia militias that operate in Syria, although the SOHR said some of the dead were Syrian nationals. The SOHR said the attack targeted a factory in the town of Hayyan, north of Aleppo.
The Israeli attack came a few days after Israel bombed the coastal Syrian city of Baniyas, killing a girl and 10 other civilians. On the same day, Israeli strikes hit central Syria and reportedly killed five Shia fighters.
Israel has bombed Syria with impunity for years and has significantly increased strikes on the country since October 7. There was a brief lull in strikes following the April 1 bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which provoked the first-ever Iranian missile and drone attack on Israeli territory.
Israel is so nice: Palestinians, Syrians, Lebanese, Iranians, we don't care.
What tragic a-holes, they are (ISRAHELL)!
Time for them to finally find Christ and move forward in life, not perpetual hell out on Earth.

Some Israelis HAVE “found Christ.”
Many others practice the religion Christ taught (Judaism).
And plenty of people who have “found Christ” have subsequently engaged in e.g. genocide.
….and some other Israelis HAVE "found Mohammed" the religion Jesus taught (Judaism) – up to a point. They all have their own versions of the Old Testament – a collection of tales, many pirated from earlier religions.
Christ was a maverick, a rogue traveler seeking men to join him. Jewish hierarchy feared the troubles he was stirring up.
There were multiple “Jewish hierarchies” of the time.
Jesus’ rabbinical training was probably of the Pharisee variety, which emphasized the Mosaic law (which he said that, contra Paul, not a jot or tittle of would be changed until the end of heaven and earth). But by the time of his execution, he seemed to be involved with something that was less a religious sect than a national liberation movement (the Nazoreans and other zealots, with whom several of his disciples were openly affiliated).
The Sadducees were centered around the Temple, rather than around the Law. The Temple was a physical structure which the Romans could raze or descrate at will. That made them vulnerable to Roman extortion, so yes, they may have been pushed into helping the Romans “get” Jesus. But Jesus was ultimately executed by the Romans, in the manner exclusively reserved to the Romans, and reserved exclusively for the crime of rebellion against Rome. Which is what you got back then for entering Jerusalem in the manner of a king per the prophecy of a messiah (a priest-king of the Davidic line) and claiming to be King of the Jews.
Strange that Pilate would offer him to the blood-thirsty mob then, in exchange for a mere thug.
Murder, theft, piracy, rebellion of a slave against their master, sedition against Rome to name a few. But crucifixion was only applied to slaves and non-Romans
Pilate seems to have been giving the mob a choice: He would free Jesus, or he would free Jesus’ son (Barabbas). The mob chose to preserve the bloodline rather than to save its elder member.
Interesting – I never knew that was out there.
Americans. U.S.S. Liberty. Rachel Corrie, numerous Palestinians Americans.
What a rogue, warmongering nation!
All I read about the "chosen" in Israel is that they are really good at killing. Kill and kill and kill, then kill some more.
… the defenseless, … especially women and children, … and dancing the Amalek Mitvah.
Ww3 or bust! Is there anything more that could be done in an effort to destabilize the world. The dynamic duo of usrael will make us all safe and free. Our saviours, the righteous aholes!
Israel is trying to start a sh-t storm, yet again….. It is never too late to accept the son of the father. Keep on doing all you are doing to the Palestinian people and you all might be in for holy hell!
