US airstrikes already making headway, says Israeli official.
Israel may play a frontline role in the international coalition forming against Islamic State – the jihadi group sweeping through Iraq and Syria in its bid to reinstate a Middle East caliphate.
As world powers unite around a US-led plan for military action to topple the militant group, Jerusalem is signaling that if Islamic State decides to spread out to Jordan – Israel will not hesitate to act.
"We will use any means necessary," a senior Israeli official told local television station Channel 2. "Let me make this clear: If Islamic State reaches [the Hashemite Kingdom] we will take action."
The official lauded US President Barack Obama's plan for action and said airstrikes were already changing the situation on the ground, as "Kurdish forces are able to win back areas" overrun by IS.
High-level talks between Israel and the US currently underway in Washington, are centering on this issue.

We should also..
I’m sure that the Jordanians will be grateful forever.
Perhaps, but if anyone else has them. Then so do we. Just because politicians say we don’t have them isn’t a reason to believe we don’t.
You’re right, I don’t have any proof that we have them, but you don’t have any proof that we don’t. If Israel has them, or Russia, China, India, Pakistan, France, or Britain. Then so do we.

This is why, ISIS uh ISIL uh ISSSIISSIL will skirt Jordan so as not to confront the one army that will not put up with their nonsense...
On the guard hell...they should plan on it!!!
I think Jordan has been ...shall we say cavorting... with Israel for a while now!!!
Doubt that ‘Cruz Supporter’ will try to Norm Lenhart us over here on this thread.
Cohen went to France and Israel to share his knowledge on Neutron bombs when our peace nicks decided to defund the program.
Are you referring to GlobalSecurity.org? You can get around the page visitation limit by typing the subject in a search engine, then just look at the “cached page” next to your search results.
I honestly do not remember the full name, but I don’t think that is the one.
I don’t believe Israel will use nukes on a conventionally armed army. Just my opinion, And if they do,it would be after they were already in trouble. A single small country couldn’t defeat Israel, of course, but what happens when Egypt, Syria, ISIS,and Turkey, along with others attacks them? It is already been proven that they can’t depend on our POS president for support. JMO...
