Israel reportedly bombed a missile base used by President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria near the country’s border with Lebanon on Sunday, destroying multiple missile warehouses.

“Israeli planes breached Lebanese and Syrian airspace and bombed the Syrian regime’s 155th Brigade [base] in the Qutayfa area, destroying a number of missile warehouses,” sources told a pro-rebel news outlet, NOW Syria reported.

A Syrian activist also told the news outlet that Israeli planes “entered Syrian territory from Lebanon at 9:30 p.m. [Sunday] and bombed Scud missile warehouses belonging to the regime.”

“The planes bombed three warehouses containing Scud missiles at the 155th Brigade [base] in western Qalamoun’s Qutayfa area, completely destroying the above-ground [installations],” Ahmad Yabrudi, the activist, stated.

disturbed males who are delusional enough to think that they are females can now shower with the girls in high school.

At least they'll have a place to hang their 'soap on a rope'.

America is more communist than Russia these days, that’s why the old guard textbook Alinskyites in the US hate Putin

In the sense of anti-establishment doctrine and practice, yes. An observation worth repeating.

The Obama/Ayers crew is locked into civil destruction mode.

This is now “normal” due to a long process of Liberalism that was started in 1966. The Hippie “Free Love”, etc. expression begat accepting everything and every abnormality under the sun. Since 1966, it's been absorbed and reinforced via the media and “various “Rights” movements.
Nothing happened overnight but rather a slow withering process.
The old bulwarks of God,country and religion is all but gone. There are no longer any defenses or rules for conduct.

Between Russia, the US and Israel, plus Syria, Iran, the Kurds and ISIS, the country is turning to rubble. I suppose with Russia in and the US ambivalent on the topic that Assad will stand and regime change is off the table. But Israel will of course want to assert its right to self defense. Syria is still technically at war with Israel, and Iran is too. Both are supporting terror groups so making sure large caches of weapons don’t go to Hezbullah is a high priority. May help Russia and US too. But man, what a free for all. It is a mad house, so Israel may as well aggressively advance its defensive/counter-offensive posture.

This was a bold statement by Israel to both Russia and the US. This is Bibi speaking in no uncertain terms.

Maybe not ISIS at all. Hezbollah forces are all over that area. It is my belief that it was Hezbollah that deployed the chemical weapons and not Assad forces. I don’t think ISIS has gotten that close to that border region...at least in force...to pose a real threat to Israel...Hezbollah is based in parts of Lebanon if memory serves.

That said, to me they are all the same and must be killed until dead...and then killed again.

circumstance point to “FSA” with weapons supplied by or through Turkey, possibly smuggled from Libya.

Even Turkish politicians now exposing this

FSA had kidnapped many villagers (pro Assad areas) never seen again - possibly the CW victims whose bodies were displayed

many children, no parents, will discover mass graves someday
It was completely in “FSA” benefit to have this CW attack happen to draw the West into supporting them against Assad and entering the war, crossing redline stupidly set by obama

[Eleutheria5]

But he pretended it wasn’t happening...

[JEDI4S]

Well the “FSA” is about to become “DOA” as the Rooskies bombing campaign continues to intensify.

As to Turkey. At this point with the islamists consolidating power; it may be left to the Turkish Military as to which direction that nation is about go. Not unlike the choices the military in Egypt had to make. Turkish generals have the fate of their nation in their hands in my opinion. Let things stay the way they are and within 6 months their nation will either look like Libya or worse Syria...or intervene and hope to be more stable similar to Egypt.

Or....do nothing and hope for the best. My view is that a fracture of Turkey is only a matter of weeks if not days away. The secular/moderate Turks must act quickly or the level of bloodshed will eclipse that of Syria very rapidly.

For years, Iran has used Syrian facilities to stage missile deliveries to Hizbollah, and Israel has knocked out the convoys.
