Where are the uses of “allegedly” you find in nearly any other story?

Israel is just another US proxy following orders to promote peace and prosperity.

For the most part Israeli strikes are to intercept arms and other capabilities being shipped by Iran to their proxy fighters in Lebanon. Other strikes have been to preempt direct attacks from Syrian territory on Israel. If the Syrian government was inclined to stop direct attacks they probably couldn’t. Even if they could Syria relies on foreign fighters to help prop up the Syrian regime so they won’t stop those same fighters from attacking Israel for fear of what those fighters might do to Syria.

Israeli intelligence has been very good. I’m guessing that no phone call or text or email inside Syria goes unread in Israel.

Also, the least expensive way for Israel to attack is not missiles. It is glide bombs which can be launched outside any existing protective envelope and will hit the target with great precision. They usually have a very small yield so as to limit collateral damage as the potential targets are located next to civilians so the other side can call foul and stir up a tempest in the press.

Syria has been a staging area for Iran’s mullahs for decades

You’ll notice Israel never attacks ISIS or any of the jihadi rebel groups.

That says it all.
