Interesting. When Debka is wrong, they’re usually wrong only tangentially. This might be factual.

So let me get this straight ... Israel launched an air strike in Syria to protect Syrian rebels?

"Twelve Iranian military personnel were killed
in an alleged Israeli air strike on an Iranian base
in Syria Friday night, Arabic media reported Saturday.
According to reports on Lebanon’s Al-Mustaqbal TV
and the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya network, accounts
on the Telegram messaging app tied to Iran’s Revolutionary
Guard Corps have been reporting 12 fatalities,
while also reporting the names of those killed."

Well, the raid was secret - at least to those who got their Muzloid asses zotted off this mortal coil.

Sounds like Israel fired because Syria is becoming a puppet-state of Iran.

Israel has stated numerous times, they don’t want an Iranian base in Syria, they don’t want Iran right on their doorstep. It seems they already have a bit of that with Hezbollah. I was under the impression Israel attacked because this was basically an Iranian base.

Not secret enough, heh heh. Too bad the source of this is Debka. Thanks Diogenesis.

Interesting second source. Plausibility increases due to the fact that the official word from Syria is so fast in arriving, and downplays what happened.

After they were dropped, did an experienced IDF tech check them out fully before they were installed on an a/c for a mission?

I could accept that the firing sequence of the missile includes a release from the platform, giving time for safe separation until the rocket motor (usually a rocket motor) engages.

said, "Israel has stated numerous times, they don’t want an Iranian base in Syria, they don’t want Iran right on their doorstep."

Isn't that exactly the reason why Obama/Hillary financed ISIS from Wikileak?

This doesn't pass the smell test.

“exactly the reason”?

in what way?

you purport that Hillary and Obama secretly
planned to help Israel, when the record shows
that they were both selfserving
and also enthusiastically
supporting radical terrorist Islam
and Russia against the American People.
