One day after Israel launched “warning fire” into Syria over an errant shell, Israeli officials are now talking about a second day of strikes, including “direct hits” on a pair of Syrian mobile artillery batteries.
The move is particularly surprising because Israel had initially downplayed the incident, saying that one of the Syrian Army mortar crews had simply “overshot” on a strike against rebels in the ongoing Syrian Civil War, landing in the Golan Heights, recognized as part of Syria but occupied by Israel since 1967.
Israeli officials are threatening further responses to Syria over the incident, but it seems that direct Israeli involvement in the war benefits no one so much as the Assad regime, which could curry a lot more sympathy in its fight against various foreign and domestic rebel factions if Israel becomes a factor in the war.
Israeli military officials say they fired a Tamuz anti-tank missile into Syria, and said they filed an official complaint to Syria threatening to respond with more “severity.” Syrian officials have mostly declined comment, apparently believing they have enough on their plate.
What a sorry excuse. Israhell knew very well what it was doing when its forces fired into Syrian territory,.For starters, the Zionists have no intention of returning the Golan Heights to Syria; otherwise, Syrian forces would be there, instead of Israelis.
A Syrian mortar crew miscalculated the trajectory, and accidentally fired into the Golan Heights. They weren't aiming at Israhell or the Golan Heights; so why did the IOF deliberately launch a return strike? To hasten Syria's destabilization, which they desperately want. Didn't the Zionist leadership previously say that the road to Tehran leads through Damascus? There it all is, in a nutshell..
