Reading this article, it’s tough to figure out how it’s Syria that’s escalating the situation. The legally elected Syrian gov that didn’t invite Israel’s military to operate in their country is supposed to NOT respond?
Assad is fighting ISIS inside Syria.
Hamas is fighting against Assad and Hezbollah inside Syria.
Hamas is fighting Israel inside “Palestine.”
Israel is bombing Hezbollah (or even Assad!) inside Syria.
That’s messed up.
Sounds like some raghead camel jock manning an AA site woke up feeling froggy; might be his LAST wakeup!
DEBKA suggests in its post on this matter that the Arrow system had to be employed on incoming missiles threatening Israel itself, not anti-aircraft missiles.
Three missiles were hit with two crashing in Israel according to DEBKA and one in Jordan.
Warning sirens went off at 3am this morning as the Arrows shot the missiles out of the sky.
Sounds fair.
Israeli aircraft in Syrian airspace are fair game.
Of course, the Israelis are fully entitled to shoot back...
Assad is one of the biggest buyers of ISIS oil, Assad helped create ISIS and allowed Jihadists to attack US and coalition forces during the Iraq war; Bush almost expanded the war into Syria; he probably should have.
