IRANIANS KILLED IN ALLEGED ISRAELI STRIKE ON MILITARY SITE IN SYRIA
Jerusalem Post ^ | APRIL 30, 2018 | ANNA AHRONHEIM

Posted on 04/30/2018 9:50:00 AM PDT by gandalftb

The target was reportedly an underground missile production facility and depot for surface-to-surface missiles.

The explosions following the strike registered as a 2.6 magnitude earthquake, but the weapons used did not cause the quake. Over 18 people were killed and another 60 were wounded.

The targets were Syrian army bases being used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and Shi'ite militias with troops from Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Missiles also struck targets in the Al-Malikiyah area, north of the Aleppo’s airport.

The underground missile production facility and depot for surface-to-surface missile is funded by Iran and built with the help of North Korea. Located near Hama, it was also widely known as a recruitment center for Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias who fight alongside President Bashar Assad's force.

Unconfirmed reports stated that an Iranian general was killed.

The Taqsis base is built inside a mountain, bunker-busters would have had to be used.

For the first time, actual Iranian bases are being hit.

Iranian response:

http://www.manartv.com.lb/3713125

"Imam Khamenei says "the era of hit and run is gone, strikes will be met with strikes", following attack against Iranian targets in Syria last night."

Israel closed the airspace over the Golan Heights about two hours ago and the IAF switched to military IFF settings.

There are a number of readiness moves taking place right now. Much more tense than has been.

Tonight, Netanyahu is revealing documents that prove Iran is not following the nuclear agreement:

IIRC, Israel has purchased at least 500 GBU-57 bunker Massive Ordinance Penetrators from us.

Syria/Russia/Iran are fighting ISIS. Why is Israel fighting for ISIS? This is absurd.

If the strike is alleged, shouldn't the deaths be alleged too?

When Israel is happy and strong, so is the Lord. The Israeli nation will always be His chosen people.

Thank the heavens for a President Trump who loves and supports the nation of Israel after the treason and evil of Bush, Clinton and Obama

The word "alleged" is just one more of the many terms that have become politicized by the MSM-Democrats. They use it or omit it as necessary to push their agenda.

Israel needs to find and destroy all the other underground depots as well...especially those used by Hizbollah in Syria and Lebanon.

Freepers and/or preppers - keep a keen eye on this. Everyone is looking at Korea and the CA border - THIS could get real hot, real quick. And we WILL be drawn in.

And how many Syrian refugees is Iran sheltering with Obama's $billion$?

ISIS is finished. This is about Iran using the New Syria as its terror vassal to target Israel, Iraq and the Saudis. Israel can’t allow that to happen again.

Israel starts a war to prevent a war . Is that your suggestion? Because Israel is afraid that the Shiite country of Syria/Iran will be apposed to the Sunni country of Saudi Arabia? are you serious? Iraq is already 100% Shiite. Are you predicting that Syria will attack IRAQ? I just think that is incorrect reasoning.
