Israel’s Sunday attack on Hezbollah fighters in southern Syria didn’t just killed some important Hezbollah anti-ISIS figures, leading to fears of retaliation from the Lebanese militia, but also killed a top Iranian general.
Israeli military sources are making it plain this was a mistake, and not the sort of “mistakes on purpose” Israel tends to do. Rather, they say, they had no idea there was an Iranian general in the convoy they attacked.
Though Israel is pretty much constantly at odds with Iran, analysts say directly assassinating a general has threatened the “tacit understanding” Israel and Iran have had, in which Iran doesn’t retaliate for repeated Israeli attacks on Syria.
The latest attack seemed designed to pick a fight with Hezbollah, a politically useful conflict for the Netanyahu government. Picking a fight with Iran less than two months before the election is a much more dangerous proposition, and one which could paint the outgoing government as particularly irresponsible.
In the end and not so distant future they the Zionist will lose for all the murders they the Zionist have committed on America`s behalf.
IMO, Israel does very little "on America's behalf." It's more the US being cajoled into doing pretty much whatever Israel wants.
just imagine if Iran reversed the killings and iran bombed and killed scores of american trainers in Syria
"…could paint the outgoing government as particularly irresponsible."
But they ARE particularly irresponsible – even criminally irresponsible. But then everybody knows that.
Though not featured in the article, Israel neither confirms nor denies the bombing. Despite it being hard to imagine anyone else responsible for it.
Corrupt Israel — Doing as norm
A General most high in the Iran Army and doing high level coordination of war materials and troops, surely Israel secret service has a team assigned to discover his being and doing. And just as surely with the Israel secret service having assassinated about 20 nuclear scientists in Iran, this slaughter was likewise no accident.
A drunk and panicky John Boehner invites israHell PM Netanyahu to address Congress on February 11th to discuss Iran.
“In this time of challenge, I am asking the prime minister to address Congress on the grave threats radical Islam and Iran pose to our security and way of life,” Boehner said in a statement.
Since the Palestinians are in the ICC, they should investigate this war crime. All of Israel's neighbors should have WMD's so Israel and other nations stay out of their nations. People in the Middle East become terrorists because of the things the West does to their countries.
