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.
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.

US Judge Rules Assad Helped Al-Qaeda Kill Americans
Now, this is accurate. No, our president does not support Al Qaeda terrorists.
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.
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.
