Israel's leaders vow strong response to Syrian fire spillover onto Golan
Debka.com ^ | 6/24/2017 | DEBKAfile

Posted on 06/24/2017 7:06:48 PM PDT by Nextrush

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday night that IDF actions had made it clear that Israel does not tolerate the trickle of fire from any foreign warfront and pushes back forcefully. He spoke after an Israeli air strike was conducted against a Syrian position near Quenitra Saturday in response to two Syrian mortar shells flying into Golan and exploding-albeit harmlessly.....

I pretty much excerpted the entire DEBKAfile update on what happened in Syria today.

Israel again attacking Syrian government positions when Syrian shells aimed at the "rebels" or more accurately "Al-Qaeda jihadists" were said to have harmlessly exploded in the Israeli controlled Golan Heights.

The main news article on the DEBKA site right now pushes the notion of a threatening “Russian base” being established in southern Syria near Damascus and the Golan Heights region.

This anti-Russia narrative is about promoting a Saudi backed, Qatari backed war of jihadist-terrorists forces against the Assad regime.

“Whose side is Israel on?” is a worthwhile question to ask and at this blog link, mainstream sources are cited to link Israel to Al-Qaeda in Syria.

Bad stuff. According to what I read in other news, Israeli jets have struck the Syrian army at Quinetra.

Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman. "As far as we are concerned, the Assad regime is responsible for what is happening in its territory and it will continue to bear the consequences if such events repeat themselves."

There are a number of problems with this argument. It is absurd to support the Syrian rebels in taking over an area, then "holding the Syrian govt responsible" for whatever happens there. As it is, the Syrian rebels have every motive to throw some flak over the Israeli border, in order to draw in their armed response against the Syrian govt.

Not sure why you and Nextrush think they should not defend
their own country, but:

Israel targeted the origin of the shells against THEIR country.
"Israeli fighter jets struck targets inside Syria, including two tanks belonging to the Syrian government,
on Saturday, in response to the firing of over ten projectiles into the Golan Heights."

US Judge Rules Assad Helped Al-Qaeda Kill Americans

Now, this is accurate. No, our president does not support Al Qaeda terrorists.

Anyone for Assad is for the West being flooded with Syrian refugees, don’t cry about them if one supports Assad. He’s the main one they are fleeing.

Bush almost expanded the war into Syria because Bashar aided terrorists attacking US troops. Unbelievable people are spewing Iranian/Syrian/Hezbollah/Russian propaganda.

So Russia has been there for 2 years and they are still fighting terrorists? Wow.

And they are fighting in the suburbs of Damascus, control some of it.

Daddy Assad helped Hezbollah bomb 250 marines. Real patriots here.

How demented do you have to be to write this while the US is still fighting terrorists...

... in Afghanistan, 15 years later
... in Iraq, 14 years later
... in Libya, 7 years later
... in Syria also, four times as long as the Russians have been there

Seriously, please. Step me through the thought process that gets from initial inspiration to actually typing that out and hitting post, without any sort of effective filter to say hey maybe I really shouldn’t come across like a Tourettes patient here.

Raqqa? SDF winning it, then, the Iranians and Russians who have done jack against ISIS want in on the action.

And ol’ Putin, Russia supporting the Taliban in Afghanistan.

I don’t normally ping on DEBKA rumors, but given that Ezekiel 38 might not be all the far off, this time I’m making an exception.

So, for whatever it is worth and maybe not much - we’ll see.

What I keep reading right now in regards to how the world is shifting/shaping up at this moment is incredibly in line with an end times explanation of prophecy video I watched years ago. One thing I remember it said that Iran would go after Saudi Arabia’s Mecca with I believe Turkey and etc..just at the end I remember they lost me some because it got all weird and supernatural science fiction-y when it came to the Antichrist, how his image would be speaking, the miracles performed on earth n stuff. On the other hand, how else are we to take much of the events in Revelation if not that?

Almost every article in this story refers to the area as ‘Israel controlled Syrian territory’. They just can’t accept that it is Israel controlled area of Golan which is Israeli territory.

There are various points of view about the situation, including those clearly hostile to Israel.

Its for the better that Israel has the high ground of Golan for its own protection.

I am pro-Israel, but not pro-secular politicians in Israel.

President Trump has decided that the United States will continue its close ties to Israel and Saudi Arabia.

President Trump has also expressed his opposition to Iran’s regime.

The Israelis and Saudis are involved in the Syrian Civil War right now and on the anti-Assad side because of Iran’s support for Assad.

Does that mean all out US military involvement in the region at some point?

I hope not.

BiBi has always said from the get go they would defend it’s borders during this war.... Given how muslims change sides and such I’d hit anything that sent shelling over the line.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was actually Iranian forces in Syria who instigated the attack...

Here's the IDF report condensed from twitter......10 projectiles ......

IDF‏Verified account @IDFSpokesperson Jun 24 Replying to @IDFSpokesperson

Moments ago, several projectiles fired from Syria hit an open area in the northern Golan Heights. No injuries reported.........................In response to over 10 projectiles launched from Syria, IAF aircraft targeted origin of launches & 2 Syrian tanks.......Due to the unacceptable breach of Israeli sovereignty, an official protest has been filed with UNDOF

Well, they make grave mistakes when they go science-fiction-y.

Satan’s servants turned wood into living snakes just like Moses was able to do (in Egypt).

Satan has incredible supernatural power. For a time.

That’s why the world shall be amazed at the Antichrist and the False Prophet. They are going to have (evil) supernatural power.
