IDF: Iranian forces fire 20 rockets at Israel; Iron Dome intercepts some

No Israeli injuries reported in attack; sirens blare in Golan Heights; Syrian army post comes under fire in Quneitra as tensions skyrocket on Israel-Syria border

Some 20 rockets were fired at Israeli military bases by Iranian forces in southern Syria just after midnight on Thursday, with some of the incoming missiles being intercepted by the Iron Dome defense system, the army said, amid sky high tensions on the northern border.

There were no reports of Israeli casualties in the attack. An army spokesperson said damage was caused to Israeli military bases, but that it was “limited.”

The Israeli army said the missile barrage was carried out by members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Forces. This appeared to be one of the few instances of a direct attack on Israel by Iran, which generally operates through proxies.

The dome only shoots those that will cause harm... it prioritizes targets

I do believe that some mysterious submarine in the Persian Gulf should launch some cruise missiles loaded with incendiary cluster munitions at several Iranian oil refineries and/or storage depots. That’ll cost the goat phuckers plenty of money and, more importantly, send a message to not screw with the Jews.

Either that, or drop a bunch of pigs on the runway at some very well-defended Iranian airbase. That worked wonders with the Saudis a few years back.

"Sorry about it. Somebody beat me by a minute. My apologies."

No. Your post was from the Times of Israel. The other one was from Breitbart. Your post should remain, unless policy for the site has changed.

The content of your post from The Times of Israel is also different from the content at Breitbart. And I, for one, prefer content from a source closer to the event, as long as the source nation is friendly and trustworthy.

Thanks for posting it.

The retaliation must be to the Iranian base at Bandar Shapur (Homoni)

The Iranian homeland must not be sanctuary

The content of your post from The Times of Israel...

TOI is far and away the most reliable source of Israel news.

If anything I think this CONFIRMS Trump was right to pull out of the "deal".
