Israel strikes Damascus’ military targets in retaliation for rocket fire by ‘Iran-funded militants’
Smoke rises during fighting in the Druze village of Khadr in Syria
"Israel has pounded with artillery and launched airstrikes
against 14 Syrian military positions in Golan Heights, holding Damascus responsible for failing to prevent a rocket attack
on Israeli territory which the IDF pinned on an “Iran funded Islamic Jihad” group.
.... IDF also targeted Syrian 137th Regiment near Damascus.
“We attacked with tanks, artillery, and one target from the air...
We attacked several kilometers into Syria, five or six sites with
multiple targets within each site.
Our attacks are much more severe this time around,
in order to send a message ..” Israeli military said.
The Israeli army also said that the rockets were fired by the
Islamic Jihad movement “with Iranian funding and direction.”
Israel has concentrated their efforts on protecting the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights,
about 16 km to the east, which has witnessed a number of rocket attacks
from within Syrian territory."
here we go again, Israel-occupied Golan Heights.
How about France-occupied Alzace while we are at it.
Good! Smoke 'em up Israel.
Go get em Bibi!
