Do they have two new F35s?

If the Russians didn’t fire on the planes it means the Israelis cleared the attack with them ahead of time as has happened a few times before.

That would explain the report that the Russians started pulling out of Syria a few days ago.

Ultimately, Assad likely doesn’t mind Hezbollah being kept weakened and in check without him looking like he is going after them directly.

Definitely sounds like F-35s. If they were not picked up..

It would be interesting if Israel had working relationships with Syria and Russia.

I don’t think Russia sees Israel as a threat to it’s interests. Israel generally takes action after it is hit.

In this instance, all three players may see advantages to taking the airport out of commission.

If there’s no blow-back on this in the next few days, we can be pretty certain there was an agreement.

Even if Syria (and possibly even Russia) voices animosity over it, it could be seen as bluster to appease the terrorists.

Watch the U.N. act as if someone just took a whiz on their dance slippers.

If they did they’d be hard down for something. F-35s are a POS.

Israel usually has a good reason to do what they have to. Notice Assad never strikes back.

This could be a ‘false flag’ attack aimed at setting up Israel. Why would they do this 1 WEEK before 0dungsh*t leaves office?

Israel generally takes action after it is hit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Israel attacks just before they are about to be attacked or when they can't allow a danger threshold crossing.

The following law in the Torah (derived from Deuteronomy 22:26): Habah l'hargecha hashkem l'hargo -- "If someone is coming to kill you, rise against him and kill him first." (This law applies equally to someone coming to kill someone else -- you're obligated to kill the murderer in order to save his intended victim.)
