Israel strikes and advances into Syrian territory after Assad's overthrow, fueling alarm
NBC News ^ | Dec 10, 2024 | Freddie Clayton

While Syria celebrates overthrowing its longtime dictator, it is also being subjected to a new ground incursion and a wave of airstrikes from its neighbor Israel that drew growing international condemnation and concern Tuesday.

Saudi Arabia said the actions "confirm Israel's continued violations of the principles of international law," and called upon the international community to respect Syria's "territorial integrity." Iran also condemned the Israeli military's movements, describing them as a violation of the United Nations Charter and calling for immediate action from the U.N. Security Council.

And U.S. NATO ally Turkey said Israel was "once against displaying its occupying mentality," condemning its actions while Syria strives for "peace and stability."

What alarm? I call it taking advantage of the moment. We should shoot at the Iranian forces leaving.

They’re all crazy.

“confirm Israel’s continued violations of the principles of international law,”

Turkey, Russia and the USA all have troops in Syria. What “principals’?

Assad was little different than Saddam Insane, but he kept a lid on the terrorists to some degree too. So now, just like when we toppled Saddam, the void will probably be filled with Israel hating terrorists and Sharia whack jobs and the women in that country will pay the price for it.

Announced several days ago, intention to occupy a border zone buffering Israel from hostile forces in Syria. When everything settles down, if it ever does, I would expect Israel to pull its troops back.

I’m not alarmed.

This is wisdom.

First, if Iran, Turkey and Saudi have their undies in a bunch, I’m pretty sure something good is going on.

Second, most of the noise out of Jerusalem is about this being temporary. Israel is concerned that the fresh jihadis backed by Turkey will take up the old Syrian army positions and essentially immediately use them as launching points for attacks on Israel. As a defensive measure, Israel is taking up those positions to forestall it.

We’ll see exactly how it shakes out in a few weeks. It would be unwise for Israel to make this a land grab of anything but the most offensively capable positions. The muslim world doesn’t need any further axes to grind.

Good. I hope Israel takes this opportunity to expand their borders significantly.

Or Biden’s puppetmasters will just free up another $10 billion for them: https://freebeacon.com/national-security/days-after-trumps-victory-biden-harris-admin-granted-iran-10-billion-in-sanctions-relief-congressional-notice-shows/

“We Are Not Defeated, Jerusalem Awaits Us”

[not personally verified]

I’d say Israel has a right to take defensive action.

Do-nothing impotent Europe and its ‘international laws’ can shove it.

Nothing in the Middle East is ever “settled”. It is either suppressed, or explodes like a metastatic cancer. There is no middle ground.

This is a widening of the defense perimeter for Israel. They need all the maneuver room they can get.

Yeah, some day Israel will withdraw voluntarily. But pigs will surely take flight when that happens.

They are trying to get the WMDs before the terrorists do.

Also, the deposed Assad, the son, was a shadow of his much more dangerous father.

“fueling alarm”....was that due to the “rebels” destroying Assads regime...or Israel realizing that a new group of anti-Israel warriors could take over a nation pretty close to them? Of course, the news media makes Israel the one “fueling alarm”...
Please everybody , stop giving any credence to the MSM. They are corrupt liars and intent on shaping the world narrative in the Marxist view. Defund them anyway you can.
