They don’t have the F-22. You must mean the F-35.

I don’t think we know which aircraft they used in this strike, or at least I don’t see any reference to it online currently. They certainly had the capability to do this strike long before the F-35, as they have done similar strike many timees over the years.

Israeli military has been conducting exercises on the Lebanese-Syrian borders to simulate a war with Hezbollah.

The Israelis are telling Washington and Moscow that as the civil war in Syria is being curtailed by the joint US-Russian initiative, the Iranian-Hezbollah presence in Syria poses a threat to Israel’s security.

CORRECT, sorry, I meant the F-35...there is no reference to the aircraft type but...the Israelis are known for introducing new systems into the battlefield theater very quickly. In addition, the stealth aspect may be used so that the Soviet, oops, I mean Russian radars do not pick them up, maybe?

I wonder if a nuclear exchange is not far around the corner.

Nope, my reading of that scriptures leads me to understand that the scenario will be one whereby Israel will be reeling under very heavy attacks on several fronts and then in extreme bitter anger they let loose several thermo nuclear missiles to Syria who has been their ancient enemy for centuries.

Thus will end the oldest continually inhabited city in the world and the radiations will render it uninhabitable forever.

Syria has always been a source of terror & pain against Israel and that bill is long overdue to be paid in blood.

BTW there will also be another nuclear hot spot that's a no-go zone, and it will the remains of the rebuilt Babylon but her enemies will burn her down.

Israël used F16 and F15s to hit Syria in 2007 without radar detecting them. They used Suter to deceive the radar.

That is pretty much what it prophesized, but I don't know about "several." All it will take is one nuclear weapon to destroy Damascus - and the destruction will be over night, and complete.

The fulfillment of Isiah 17 and Ezekiel 38 is close.

They used a hockey player to deceive the radar?

Bravo Israel;

Won’t find me backing Assad, the man who is responsible for American deaths, who let Jihadists go through his own country to attack Americans and other coalition members, Daddy Assad helped bomb 250 Marines.

Won’t find me spewing pro-Russian Putin Troll propaganda either.

Read the last verse in that chapter: in the evening, sudden terror! Before the morning, they are gone! This is the portion if those who loot us, the lot of those who plunder us.

From what I understand of end times bible prophecy concerning Israel, there will be 2 great battles against Israel. The 1st one is the Gog & Magog invasion whose purpose is to get plunder & get wealth. The last one is the Armageddon battle where all the armies of the world is being led by the Antichrist onto that field to fight against Jesus and his returning church. So the timing of Damascus destruction seems to relate to the Gog & Magog invasion especially since the scripture mentioned being plundered.
