Israel drawn into Syria fighting for first time
AP ^

Posted on 11/11/2012 8:08:32 AM PST by Perdogg

Israel was drawn into the Syrian civil war for the first time on Sunday, firing warning shots into the neighboring country after a stray mortar shell from across the border hit an Israeli military post.

The Israeli military said the mortar fire caused no injuries or damage at the post in the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and then annexed. But in recent weeks, incidents of errant fire from Syria to the north have multiplied, leading Israel to warn that it holds Syria responsible for fire on Israeli-held territory.

Maybe Syria is trying to draw Israel in so the jihadists will then see them as the “real” enemy giving the Syrian government some relief.

The only thing "accidental" about it was that it didn't do any damage.

Isa 17:1 ¶ The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

A very real possibility. That's what Saddam tried to do during the first Gulf War when he fired the Scuds into Israel, he wanted to draw the entire Arab world onto his side.

Too bad Israel doesn’t flatten the whole mess.

We shouldn’t build any more nuclear bombs until we use the old ones...

...and I have a list of targets in my hand.

So, this means the USA is at proxy war with Israel because the POtuS is arming Syrian rebels (that should make God pretty angry at the USA),

and maybe this is why the Benghazi coverup is so important to the arab spring instigating Obama administration

And Russia. Syria's allies. Obama thinks he has a friend in Putin. That alone should send alarm bells through the Pentagon, but they are too busy sipping their Starbucks latte's. They wont even see it coming.

“And so it begins...”

Very possibly:

“...It goes without saying that the Middle East region is being systematically and consciously devoured by an act of extremism funded and promoted by Washington and some Arab regimes...”

The northern edge of the Golan is prety much all Israeli military, there’s a “DMZ” there also. It’s that “aiming south” that pretty much rules out an “accident”. But Akmed was no doubt in training and can’t read his compass yet-——because it’s written in either Russian or Hebrew.

It would not surprise me if this was orchestrated by the present fraudsters in the White House. Assad being backed by Russia makes it difficult for Hussein to remove him and install the muslim brotherhood. So instead they come up with a scheme to draw Israel in to help remove Assad. Although Israel does not like Assad, the last thing they want is to be surrounded by the muslim brotherhood on all sides. Look for Hussein Obama to step up attacks and start bombing Israel from Syria to try and draw them in. I’m sure Bibi is wise enough not to fall into Hussein’s trap.

The end goal seems to be that Hussein wants to surround Israel with his terrorist buddies and use that as cover to continuously bomb Israel until they give in to his demands of returning to the 67 borders.

As Premier Obama-Ostalin begins his full reign of terror over what is left of the American republic, Israel will be further and further alone on this planet. America’s judgment has begun. God has started to withdraw his protection and grace. America has polluted its lifestyle, our children’s lives. Anything goes and everything is good and legal. Sex, booze, drugs, porn on demand, abortions by the millions. God punishes nations in time. He will punish unbelievers at the Great White Throne Judgment. But he punishes nations in time. He has done it over and over again. Now, it is America’s turn.
