Arab media reports that Israeli aircraft targeted the Syrian army and a Hezbollah convoy near Damascus.

Arab media reported on Wednesday morning that Israeli aircraft carried out two airstrikes in the Damascus area overnight Tuesday.

One report said that the first airstrike hit a weapons warehouse belonging to the Syrian army near Damascus.

The second attack, according to the report, targeted a convoy of cars belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist group.

Other Syrian websites reported that the attack on the Hezbollah convoy was meant to thwart a delivery of missiles from Syria to Lebanon. According to these reports, the convoy was bombed after it left the airport in Damascus.

Not being a politician steeped in years of saying flowery, lofty things that mean absolutely nothing, watch Trump positively floor the Middle East with a policy that stuns all sides with its blunt simplicity.

I imagine it’s been a long time since these folks have heard plain talk in pursuit of a deal, not an “understanding.”

Actually it has everything to do with Iran and all the billions it got from that stupid deal


This is the answer.

We can talk about how evil ISIS is but Iran is extremist against Israel and Hezbollah and Syria are Shia as well.

Some have said as long as the Sunnis and Shias fought against each other, that benefited Israel. They weren’t fighting Israel.

(Yes, of course, ISIS is a threat but Iran has shown itself to really have it in for Israel)

Israel does this every once in a while when Syria steps over the line.

Latest articles say there were no casualties,

The latest articles have scarce mention of Hezbollah.

Man!; months ago, one of the coalition strikes killed 90 Syrian troops, accidental, FF.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/11/29/pentagon-no-misconduct-mistaken-airstrike-syrian-forces/94572358/

Pentagon finds no misconduct. This was the darndest thing and the coalition largely walked away from this.

Need we forget, General Soleimani’s Iranian troops killed 500 US soldiers in Iraq and Iran is whom is calling the shots in Syria now.

Syria allowed Jihadists to operate their during that conflict OR at least, they didn’t go after them.

That conflict is the Muslims own, in hindsight, it is easier to say we should have stayed out.

This is idiotic — attacking the only force that is preventing jihadis from reaching Israel’s borders.

With Assad gone, the Christians in Syria will be slaughtered.

Why would they bomb the Syrian Army?

You mean they didn't miss and bomb a wedding celebration and wedding party after all?

Daddy Assad helped kill 250 Marines, Assad is on the side that killed 500 US soliders, who gives a crap about Ass-h-l-ad;

Why do the Russians sit on their behinds and not touch ISIS.

Russia and Assad have as much to do with ISIS as anyone. They’ve let Christians get slaughtered while they go after the “Rebels”.

And with Turkey declaring war on Syria we are that much closer to the fulfillment of Isiah 17. You can almost hear the footsteps of the Messiah. Maranatha.

I read in an article this morning that Israel is still in a state of war against Syria. It’s just rather subdued now.

The IAF fired 4 long-range Popeye missiles from Lebanese airspace, striking Syrian Army 38 base

You are wrong .
They are all bad .
They hit them because they were moving Iranian missiles into Lebanon. Assad isn’t innocent . All the Christians need to get out of there because the place is about to explode.

No, you are wrong. Assad is the ONLY force preventing jihadis from reaching Israel's borders

Assad is no friend of Israel, but he's a toothless old tiger compared to the Islamic state and other jihadis

“Christians need to get out of there”? Why? Out of places like Damascus that have had a Christian presence since the 1st century? You want this to be like Mosul — Christians killed and monasteries ransacked?
