20:02 IAF fighter planes scrambled after foreign warplanes approach Israel (Ch. 2)

(just the ticker so far)

[jhpigott]

Syrian???

[autumnraine]

God I pray and ask you to protect Israel.

[DManA]

Hope it’s NOT one of ours.

[SpinnerWebb]

bflv

[Always Independent]

What neighbor of theirs would be dumb enough to do that.

[GeronL]

lol. I guess with O in the WH, can’t rule out an American attack.

[AU72]

If it was Syrian they would have already lost their air force.

[Batman11]

“ol. I guess with O in the WH, can’t rule out an American attack.”

That was my first thought. How pathetic that we have come to this point in this country.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

How foreign were they?

[Quick Shot]

Maybe it's just to repel a surprise visit by Obama.

[jhpigott]

Egyptian, Lebanese???

Not too many to pick from here

[Roklok]

If he had ordered an attack on Israel, any General worth his salt would have resigned instead of follow that order, and gone public.

[JoyjoyfromNJ]

for your ping list. Am praying for Israel’s safety.

[bergmeid]

He will. It’s just that certain individuals haven’t figured that out yet, nor will they.

[bethtopaz]

Syrian???

This could be the time for the Biblical prophecy about Damascus:

“An oracle considering Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city, and will become a heap of ruins. Her cities will be deserted forever; they will be for flocks which will lie down and none will make them afraid”. (Isiah 17:1-2)

[reagan_fanatic]

One of these days, that whole region over there is gonna blow up. I’m hoping today isn’t the day.

[massgopguy]

My thoughts exactly. Could it be that the “Passover” Barack celebrated was Pharoah’s decree?

[McGruff]

I pity da fool who starts a war with Israel!

[MarineMom613]

It’s not the first time they’ve been attacked on a Holy Day.

Prayers up for Israel. Please God, let this turn out to be nothing. Please!

[OldDeckHand]

"What neighbor of theirs would be dumb enough to do that."

Syria has proven to be remarkably stupid over the years. My money is on them.

[Rational Thought]

Iranian?

So far, no reaction from stocks on Wall St.

[Credo]

Syrian AF pilots are experts at testing their ejection systems.

[444Flyer]

God I pray and ask you to protect Israel. I agree with you in that prayer.

[jimbo123]

Russian?

[yield 2 the right]

Count me as well.

[Vendome]

Going up against the Israeli’s on Passover? The Hebrews aren’t going to do a flyby or passover.

They are going to wreck their adversaries day.

[bergmeid]

I’m not seeing it yet on other news outlets.....

[arealconservativeforachange]

Rivaled only by the French in dropping their guns.

[Batman11]

“If he had ordered an attack on Israel, any General worth his salt would have resigned instead of follow that order, and gone public.”

I know you’re right. I wasn’t being totally serious, but I wasn’t being totally not serious either. If you know what I mean.

[norton]

Funny; but that’s what I said about Yugoslavia.

[historyrepeatz]

Could be Israel testing it’s own readiness. The good guys pretending to be bad guys to see how the good guys react.

[Hoodat]

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.

[444Flyer]

lol. I guess with O in the WH, can’t rule out an American attack.

Did Obama lend out AF1 to the Palestinians?

[Vendome]

Iran does not the ability to reach Israel with their airfarce. Unless it is a one way mission, they would go Bingo fuel before they even reached the border.

Besides they would have to fly past our planes and that ain’t gonna happen.

[GonzoGOP]

What neighbor of theirs would be dumb enough to do that.

Iran. But that would mean Obama let them fly over Iraq. Not saying that he wouldn't just that it would put us squarely and openly on the side of the Iranians.

[GeronL]

Thats why they built those HAWK missiles.

[jhpigott]

Haaretz is pretty reputable. It’s passover in Israel - I know that INN isn’t even updating there website. Still nothing from Ynet or Jpost . . . if something did happen the Israelis may have their media censors up

[Rational Thought]

Since 2008, Iran claims it’s warplanes can reach Israel and back without refueling. Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know.

[LukeL]

Isn’t it kind of pathetic they don’t have any aircraft that can fly such a short sortie?

[444Flyer]

Speaking of which, does anybody know the whereabouts? Is he still in the ME? Curious timing if he's over there making the rounds.

“Obama in Kabul for unnannounced Afghan trip”

[GonzoGOP]

I would LMAO if the IAF intercepted AF1 just to show OBozo where he lived.

[TSgt]

My father was assigned to a HAWK battery many moons ago.


I ended up in a GTACS unit.

Nice TPS-75.

[GeronL]

from what I have read, the HAWK is very very good.

[jhpigott]

lookie how Haaretz has changed the ticker headline -

20:02IAF fighter planes scrambled, stood down, after foreign planes near Israel (Ch. 2)

sounds like they turned around whoever was approaching the border . . .

[Hoodat]

Since 2008, Iran claims it’s warplanes can reach Israel and back without refueling.

The remaining fuel for the return trip will be wasted. There won't be any Iranian planes flying back to Iran.

[TSgt]

Nice TPS-75.

Damn thing is too heavy for its mount! They redesigned the radar from the 43 to the 75 but used the same mount. I love the sound of sheered bearings in the morning...

[GodGunsGuts]

Amen!
