This is the beginning of something much bigger. It marks a turning point in the covert war Israel and Iran have been fighting for decades.
Much has already be written about what happened on Saturday when Israel came very close to all out war with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps and Assad’s army in Syria.
To understand the seriousness of the situation, one has to look at the broader picture and take into account not only what occurred on Saturday but what happened on the Lebanese front over the past few weeks.
The incident on Saturday, when the IAF first downed an Iranian attack drone in the vicinity of the Israel town of Beit Shean and later attacked Iranian and Syrian targets deep in the war-torn country, showed the Israel security cabinet was right when it embarked on a new diplomatic offensive against Iran’s belligerent activities in Syria at the beginning of January.
At the time, the Israeli government announced that it had decided to make a “multi-faceted effort” to stop Iran’s drive to take-over the border area with Israel in Syria. The government held a series of “extremely significant discussions” on the increasing Iranian threat to Israel.
The actions of the Netanyahu government came after Iranian proxies in Syria began trying to set up camp in the demilitarized zone bordering on Mount Hermon on the Golan Heights, and after Hezbollah deployed troops on the southern Golan Heights during an offensive against the Khalid ibn al-Walid army, the local branch of ISIS.

When that happens it is a perfect time to clean house so they are not capable of doing it again. They can not be trusted to govern themselves .

Analysis: The first direct confrontation between Israel and Iran
Wait a minute. Israel attacks a sovereign nation over an unarmed drone ? There is something bad wrong with that. Let’s be sure we do not condone that.
Thanks Lera.

SO FAR, you are the only one who claims it was 'unarmed', and you have done it on multiple threads.
Did you NOT read the article ?
Here is the quote from the article.

Who says it was unarmed ?
I suppose you wouldn’t the Iranians flying a drone over your house . Get real .
I think they got upset when their jet was shot down.
Where is the proof? I have never heard of a single drone attacking Israel. NOT ONE! What a joke. There is no proof it was from Syria. This is a pretext for aggression but it will backfire badly!! We need to condemn this madness before Israel starts WWIII!!
I condone that. And I condone Israel taking out anti-Israel propagandists who use social media too.
Cart before horse, my friend. After the kids drone was “shot down “ by a helicopter somewhere near Israel. Israel FOR UNKNOWN REASONS ATTACKED THE SOVEREIGN NATION ON SYRIA and their invitees. That is prohibited aggression under international law. In that illegal attack they lost an F`16 that you paid for!! Why did they attack Syria? a stupid drone? or was that a lie”?
You forgot to put sarcasm at the end of your post. Go Israel ! I hope they light up Iran before their missiles are able to threaten us all.
Then YOU go— YOU SEND YOUR KIDS to die. I am out!!
I would hope we would shoot down an Iranian drone flying over the states . They can be modified to do whatever you want. They could use it to bomb something, spy and pick out targets or just be belligerent.
The sooner you are “out” the happier most here will be.
“I think they got upset when their jet was shot down.”
Probably. But the American taxpayers will just give them three more at least.
But for God’s sakes . dont start WWIII over a fricking DRONE!!
Looking more and more like war every day.
It may well be the start of Ezekiel 38 and I fully welcome that.
