The Israeli Air Force (IAF) conducted widespread airstrikes across Syria on Sunday, targeting critical military sites and weaponry deemed a direct threat to Israel’s security.

Israel claimed that these strategic strikes aimed to neutralize the potential transfer of advanced weaponry into the hands of terrorist factions and hostile entities.

According to reports from The Times of Israel, the Israeli strikes hit ammunition and weapons depots at the Khalkhalah airbase in Suwayda, military positions in the Daraa Governorate, and the Mezzeh airbase in Damascus.

Later in the day, additional strikes targeted the Mezzeh airbase—a hub of Syria’s security infrastructure located in the Kafr Sousa suburb of Damascus—along with the Scientific Studies and Research Center, suspected of facilitating weapons development, and a central square in Damascus housing intelligence and customs offices.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly have been tracking advanced weapon transfers in Syria, working to prevent these arms from reaching Hezbollah or other hostile entities that could pose a direct danger to Israel.

WATCH: Israel are today bombing Syria…

There’s no such thing as “getting off to to a good start” with hardened jihadists blinded with rage. To deny them the means of action is the only option short of eradication.

Reinforcing the Golan and taking out chem weapons facilities. Smart opening moves.

Good news... Israel taking advantage of the confusion to target sites and weaponry within Syria... And leaving it’s new and likely even worse rulers no military toys to play with. Hopefully Vlad is smart enough to do the same thing.

The new regime will likely make the old regime look docile in comparison.

(Israeli Air Force Launches Widespread Strikes Across Syria, Targeting Weaponry at Key Military Sites)

Zechariah 12:6

Evangelical Heritage Version

6 On that day I will make the leaders of the clans of Judah like a firepot that ignites the woods, and like a flaming torch among the sheaves. They will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right and on the left. The people of Jerusalem will once again live in their own place—in Jerusalem!

Good!

The new rulers of Syria are murderous terrorists who hate Christians and Jews. No one should cheer them for toppling Assad. The USA will have trouble with them, despite our desire to stay out of war.

The only good part is that the Iranian regime might fall, allowing Iranian Christians to come out of the woodwork!

The first few minutes of “Left Behind” (2000) has the Ezekiel 38 war happening just before the 7-year Tribulation period of ‘Peace and Security’

There’s no way to be certain but for lurkers who may not be familiar - I generally agree with the scenario but the movie is far from perfect of course

Any word on whether Syria’s air force is still operational or have they also fled to a foreign capital?

Seems that never occurred to our (woke) generals in Afghanistan.

Maybe they will find the weapons of mass destruction that Bush said Sadam Hussain gave to Assad in Syria. /s

“The new regime will likely make the old regime look docile in comparison.”

That was the thing, the old regime was ALWAYS docile by Arab standards. The problem the Neocons had with Assad was that he was aligned with Russia, and their seething hatred towards Ruzzia meant that Assad had to go.

The fact that there’s millions of Christians live in Syria and are now TRAPPED THERE is of no interest to the Neocons, nor is the increased danger now posed against Israel (remember, Israel felt safe enough to not hit these targets...until now).
