Israeli officials cited in a Ynetnews report characterized the missile strike on Friday by the US, the UK, and France on suspected chemical weapons facilities in Syria as a failure.
Multiple Israeli government and military sources suggested the strike was not effective in hurting Syria's ability to conduct chemical attacks.
These officials also criticized President Donald Trump's talking about the strike beforehand.
The latest strike most likely didn't change anything on the battlefield in Syria, and it's hard to know how much of the chemical weapons stockpile it hit.

"You're full of money and guns and our preference is for you to simply KEEP DOING IT (for us)."
It's insulting.
Think, they warned people beforehand so no civilians died. That alone should show how serious it was. Imagine during the Second World War, telling Germany that you're about to bomb some research lab, so the civilian workers can get out of there before the blast.
Our greatest allies!
"Okay, okay, fine, but THIS IS IT..!"
But, lo and behold, it's NOT ENOUGH.
That was why all of a sudden so many Deep-State friendly US media barons erupted with "the strike is fine, but it should be part of a COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY".
Want a war..?
Fight it YOURSELF.
They didn't actually cite any real officials, only unnamed sources. Fake news.
It was designed to send a message without pissing off the Russians.
Hey! We made a deal with the Saudis! You have to help them rape and murder all the Christians in Syria.
“Imagine during the Second World War, telling Germany that you’re about to bomb some research lab, so the civilian workers can get out of there before the blast.”
In some cases Allies did drop leaflets prior to bombing raids instructing civilians to leave the area. Nothing wrong with that.
Alex Lockie is hearing voices he imagines are coming from ‘Israeli Intelligence’ which is likely a blabbering from his local Rabbi who has a bad case of constipation.
Israelies fight to resist against real enemies.
The US is sliding on a dialectic of hunting here and there some predators like on a militaro industrial complex maintaining safari.
That Trump tweeted about being proud he dismantled the US chem arsenal should tell how much of a bag full of wind he has become
Here’s the Ynetnews article:
Israeli intelligence: Objectives of Western strike in Syria not achieved

As I predicted at the time ... it was a fake missile strike, in response to a fake chemical weapon attack.
I was never sure how you could strike a chemical weapons stockpile in a populated area without causing it to spread and kill nearby people anyway, I believe it was a message to let them know what’s next if it happens again

Trumps version of hitting a couple of camels in the but.
It appears to have been mostly for show. To maybe signal the possibility of serious bombing at some future uncertain date. Jerusalem should understand because Jerusalem usually treats the Muslims with similar kid gloves and small scale shows of force - without defeating: eliminating the enemy - just like what happened in Syria the other day. The most dangerous forces -iran and it’s hezballah terrorist gang proxy - appear to have been unharmed. They’re still in Syria/Lebanon with their hundreds of thousands of missiles and other weapons of war. What did the bombing raid achieve? Maybe something but the most dangerous enemy forces are still there so— ?
Still, the sources are anonymous. The article cites only unnamed officials. We are expected to believe the officials really exist.
This is not good reporting. Probably fake news.
I don’t believe we tried to put 76 Tomahawks on one building complex. More likely, as initially reported, there were 8 targets, 3 of which were hit, and the Tomahawks targeting 5 other sites were intercepted.
