Israel hits dozens of Iranian targets in Syria after rocket fire. The Israeli army said Thursday morning that it set back Iranian military capabilities in Syria by “many months” with overnight strikes on “dozens” of targets affiliated with the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps’ al-Quds Force following an attempted large-scale rocket attack on Israeli territory.
“Iran has attacked Israel directly for the first time as it fired a barrage of rockets into the country from Syria early today raising fears of a war.”

A video shows Israeli missiles destroying Iranian military targets in Syria after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Tehran that they’d ‘crossed a red line’ when they fired at the Golan Heights.
The Israeli Defence Forces shared a clip of one attack, writing that the strikes were in retaliation after Iranian forces fired 20 rockets across the border at Israeli frontline military positions early on Thursday.
The 20-second video zooms in as an SA22 aerial interception system is focused on in the IDF’s crosshairs – and a few men are seen standing nearby, presumably unaware of what’s coming – before the strike.
‘The IDF struck an SA22 aerial interception system as part of a wide-scale attack against Iranian military sites in Syria,’ the IDF wrote alongside the clip on Twitter.
‘The IDF strikes were a response to the rockets that were launched by the Iranian Quds Forces against IDF positions on the Golan Heights & the Syrian aerial defense fire at IAF aircraft.’
It comes after Netanyahu said his country’s strikes on Iranian targets in war-torn Syria were an ‘appropriate’ response after the Islamic Republic ‘crossed a red line’ by striking military positions.

Netanyahu spoke briefly in a video clip released on Thursday, where he claimed Israel launched a ‘very broad attack against Iranian targets in Syria.’
He said: ‘We are in the midst of a protracted battle and our policy is clear: We will not allow Iran to entrench itself militarily in Syria.’
It comes after Iran and Israel traded blows on the Syrian border overnight, marking the first time Tehran has directly attacked Israel.
Iranian forces fired 20 rockets across the border at Israeli frontline military positions early on Thursday, the Israeli military said.
The Israeli military said its Iron Dome defence system intercepted some of the incoming projectiles, while others caused only minimal damage.
The attack was followed by retaliatory strikes by Israeli jets, which struck ‘dozens’ of Iranian military installations within Syria. They struck a radar station, air defence positions and an ammunition dump, Syrian state media said.

Israeli defence minister Avigdor Lieberman said the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) had ‘hit almost all of the Iranian infrastructure in Syria’.
But he insisted Israel had ‘no interest in escalation’ of the situation, adding: ‘I hope that we have finished this chapter and that everyone got the message.’
Meanwhile, Britain has condemned a rocket attack on the occupied Golan Heights by Iranian forces based in Syria, and said that Israel has every right to defend itself.
Downing Street called for calm on both sides and urged Tehran to refrain from further assaults. Number 10 also urged Russia to use its influence in Syria to rein in Iranian aggression.

The IDF would have a lot of whatever support was available from many iranians who are sick of being religious pawns in a political islamic suicide.

Anyone notice how the “neutral” UN observer loading the belt-fed machinegun is wearing a keffiyeh?
When Assad’s father’s “moderate” Syria controlled the Golan Hts. they were fond of firing artillery rounds into northern Israel.

I understand that it is hugely popular to describe any such scarf as a keffiyeh in order to feign moral outrage but slow down a moment.
Try looking up Shemagh and realize that wrapping a cloth around your head or neck offers a large degree of protection from sun and blowing sand. US forces routinely wear a Shemagh because is effective tactical wear.
Try looking up Babushka headscarf and realize Muslim women are not the only ones who wear head scarves. When an old Russian woman does it, it is not a Hijab.
Sometimes a piece of cloth is just a piece of cloth.
And finally, yeah for the IDF!

Are burkas just large pieces of cloth aren’t they? What about cloth swastikas?

Those are symbols. I can tell you posted again before educating yourself about Shemaghs. To your point, a burka is nothing but a slave rag. A swastika, whether it be stone, metal, or cloth, is a symbol of an evil but near completely defeated ideology – a symbol which oddly is similar to the Native American swirling log symbol, possibly a coincidence.
What do you offer to support your assertion that the fellow in the picture is wearing his cover as a keffiyeh and not as a shemagh? Your moral equivalence won’t cut it in debate or in Q & A. You just might be out of your depth.

In my many years, in Japan and Korea, I saw many a swastika in Buddhist Temples. Being a farm boy, from Iowa, some of the old Amish barns had them painted, faded and painted over, with linseed oil based paint. You’re attempting to tell me that it was an evil symbol, in all of those instances? You just might be out of your depth.

Reading Is Fundamental.

You are repeating EXACTLY what I stated.
For instance, Mother Teresa Wore a headscarf! I did not “equate” keffiya, hihab, burka and
babushka. I pointed out how someone who
is a dimwit might conflate them.
Congratulations. Learn how to
read. Dimwit.

You have demonstrated why we make fun of farm boys. Again, … Reading. Is. Fundamental. I pointed out how the Swastika is an
appropriated Native American Symbol. I
made no attempt to tell you that it was an evil symbol when used by Native
Americans. You fucking idiot farmboy.
You guys are too stupid for me to waste my time on. Read my comment again and try to figure out
what I was really saying. You are both
out of your depth, Izlam was already beyond help.

Um AM pointed out brilliantly that a Buddhist swastika doesn’t represent the ideology of nazism fool, and while bandanas don’t have any ideology associated w/them keffiyehs do.

Just like a moslem; too stupid to KNOW that it can be caught in a lie, ” …oddly is similar …” is NOT an “appropriated” symbol. TOO funny. Simply hilarious! You are SO forking stupid that you don’t even know that you HUMILIATED yourself.
Now, if I can find someone that is able to translate the remainder of your comment, from the language of monkeys and pigs, into a language spoken by human beings, I’ll be back.
However, please continue to humiliate yourself. As, you are SO much fun to laugh AT.

A keffiyeh by any other name still stinks of pi$$lam beotch:
The keffiyeh or kufiya, also known
as a ghutrah, shemagh, mashadah, chafiye چَفیِه, dastmal yazdi or
cemedanî, is a traditional Middle Eastern headdress from Kufa, Iraq
fashioned from a square scarf, usually made of cotton. It is typically
worn by Arab people, as well as by some Mizrahi Jews and Iranic

Everything obama touches turns to sh*t.
obama handed Iran $150 billion, that Iran used to buy weapons.
Now those weapons are the catalyst for Iran being raked into rubble by Trump and Netanyahu.
Give Iran what it’s been begging for for 40 years!
Curtesy of it’s BFF — obama.

The F8F-2 was lighter, had a faster rate of climb and better turning radius and was armed w/4 20mm cannon and was much easier to use on carriers than the long-nosed F4U.

As long as it is a one-front battle, Israel should prevail. If Jordan, Iraq and other muslim enclaves get into the act, it could be very serious for Israel. At any rate, I’m sure that Israel will give them a drubbing anyway.

The country Israel needs to watch out for is Russia, and possibly Turkey. Iran is Russia’s puppet, and Turkey would look to pounce. Rubles are funding Iran.

That was my concern. A single front war (Syria/Iran) wouldn’t be much of a problem, but add in another direction to defend, and there is trouble.

This is all part and parcel of Obhammud’s failed foreign policy initiatives. Iran used its newfound wealth from his flying pallets loaded with cash in an unmarked plane into Terhan in the dead of night as ransom for four US hostages there. That is how they are financing their adventurism and proxy wars while their economy folds.
