Israel Attacks Iranian Ammo Dump in Syria

[LarryW]

Wonder if any Russian arms were present...maybe a few hands, feet, toes, and fingers as well...

Reports from the Middle East this morning confirmed an Israeli airstrike near the Damascus airport in Syria. Ynet News' Roi Kais writes that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) attacked an Iranian weapons depot, destroying arms bound for Hezbollah and other Iran-backed terrorist groups:

The Israel Air Force reportedly attacked an Iranian arms depot near the Damascus International Airport early Thursday morning, according to the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar television station.

According to various reports, a series of explosions at fuel tanks and warehouses near the airport rocked eastern Damascus at around 3:20am.

"Cleanup on aisle 5!"
Wonder if any of that was supply-line to the Syrian a/c doing a sleep-over at a Russian base.

Very good! I like it!

I'll never understand why we bend over backwards and automatically support Israel's every move...

sadly the Syrian conflict serves Israel's interest as it stretches Hezbollah and Iran military campaign thin.

I'd say it's a golden opportunity to wipe out Hezbollah while ISIS is taking bits of it. With so much bad blood between Hezbollah and US IC, no tears will be shed either

I don't think anyone has bent over backwards for that. And, why shouldn't I support Israel? What exactly have they done to us that would warrant me not trusting them? Just curious....

ISRAEL FLAGGED AS TOP SPY THREAT TO U.S. IN NEW SNOWDEN/NSA DOCUMENT

Liberty Survivors Say US Still Downplays Israel's Attack on Ship

"But we still try to make Americans aware of what happened," he added, "for the memory of our shipmates and … and to get a complete and full investigation of all the facts" about the attack.

Transcripts of radio communications between Israeli pilots and their controllers indicate the attackers identified the ship as American yet continued the assault. But U.S. and Israeli officials still claim it was a case of mistaken identity.

“The Israel lobby is giving orders to its paid stooges and traitors, like (US Senator) Lindsey Graham, who care more about Israel than America, telling them to go out and attack Iran,” said Dr. Kevin Barrett, one of America’s best-known critics of the “War on Terror.”

My fault... Hope this all helps and clarify. While I don't love the Iranians I just don't see them as the "evil" our politicians have tried to brand them as. Yes we've had a rough history, but looking at my links will show the same with Israel. Yes I'm aware of Iran's terror history and acts, but they were done by an Islamist regime after 1979. Iran has been through nearly a dozen regime changes in the 20th century, before 1979 we actually got along very well and they never attacked our military like Israel in the Six Day War.

Those links are just a few off the top of my head. When you compare them to the foreign political aid Israel has provided the United States, would you still consider them our "Greatest Ally" as our political chicken hawks try and present them as. After we give them billions for whatever reason...

Let's not forget we may very well enter another Middle Eastern conflict for the sake of Israel interests and NOT U.S.

Israel is 71 miles wide at it's widest point and 15 miles wide at it's narrowest.
How much of an intel mistake can they absorb?
If I'd been in charge the last 8 years in Israel I'd have spied my ass off targeting the US and the Obama admin.....it was hostile in many respects.
Oh, btw, we spy on Israel too....what do you think the Liberty was doing in those waters.....fishing?
Israel and the US have the same enemies in the ME.
It is the only western oriented State in the ME.
It is the only Democracy in the ME and our only real ally.
Articles naming US Senators/Congressmen as 'Israeli Agents' are asinine.

Israel a Democracy? Only if you are Jewish apparently. Unless you are actually Jewish, not one of you so ready to jump for Israel would be allowed to immigrate there or marry a Jewish person in Israel (practicing or not). The evangelists that are so hysterically supportive of Israel would find themselves incarcerated for merely handing out a bible. Bibi himself said that Israel is the Nation State of Jews and no one else.
Find a single other Western country whose leader would not be crucified for stating that and this stance is not criticised by one of the myriad front organizations. Sorry I mean social and cultural organisations" that proliferate in the West. Nor by the dual citizens in the US govt that added their voice to the cacophony of criticism towards DTs "Make America Great Again"

And look what happened to the USS Liberty. Apparently the Israeli jets made a few strafing passes on the lifeboats just for good measure and afterwards a memorial erected to the dead sailors was deemed "Anti-Semitic"? That was long before the O admin right? Some ally.

Israel is also stoking the pot in the ME with sources saying that they are giving wounded ISIS terrorists medical attention. There are powerful groups there (and in the WH now it appears) that believe that breaking up Syria would aid the achievement of EretzYisrael.

I've not seen Israel volunteering her soldiers to fight for America the way Americans are so ready to rush to aid Israel. Its easy for Bibi to say that you are friends and allies when it is such a heavily one way bias.

Some dual citizens in office do indeed seem to have a destructive stance against America. Especially considering the fact that they have a 180 degree stance on the same issues when it comes to Israel.

Sorry, nothing against Jews or Israel except the total and utter hypocrisy special rules for them and everyone else gets the standard.
Notice that DT wished to extract America from the morass in the ME. I wonder who engineered that turnaround?
