Israel Says 2 Rockets From Syria Strike Golan Heights
ABC and AP ^ | 27 Jan 15 | AP Reporter

Posted on 01/27/2015 6:51:59 AM PST by SkyPilot

At least two rockets launched from Syria struck the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights on Tuesday and Israel responded with artillery fire, the Israeli military said.

The fire comes after an airstrike last week in Syria attributed to Israel that killed six members of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and an Iranian general. Israel has braced for a response to that strike, beefing up its air defenses and increasing surveillance along its northern frontier.

Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said the fire "appeared to be intentional." He declined to comment on whether the fire may have been connected to the strike last week.

A message on Lerner's Twitter account said Israel "responded with artillery towards the positions that launched the attack."

The military said sirens sounded in communities in the Golan Heights earlier Tuesday. It said that it had evacuated and closed a popular ski resort following the strike. No injuries were reported.

Israel captured the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau overlooking northern Israel, from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and later annexed it.

Fighting in neighboring Syria's civil war has spilled over to Israel in the past. Mortar shells have exploded sporadically inside Israeli territory since the conflict began, sometimes causing minor damage.

I don't know how much longer Israel can hold back the dogs of war.

I predict a full scale war in the region by Passover.

Israel can count on no help from the current administration. Israel’s enemies are getting the help.

Isaiah 17:1 “Woe to Damascus, it has been taken away from being a city, it has become a ruinous heap.”

Great video - thanks. He tells the truth, and uses English wisdom and wit. His anger is subdued, but justified.

It is so obvious now. That is why I have so much contempt for the media that supported him, illegals to illegally "voted" for him, and blacks who voted 97% for him. Shame on them all.

We’ve got to be close IMHO.

The alliances are all there for Psalm 83. Ezekiel 38 will follow that horrid war as well.

This is year 67 since Israel became a nation again. Christ said the same generation that sees this will witness His return (Matthew 24:34). Depending on what a generation means (how long?) we could be right at the doorstep.

Maranatha!

Absolutely the thugs that vote for the Obama`s and the Clinton`s of the world are just as bad or worse as the fellow they voted for.

I have heard that teaching before and I agree with this it.

Centuries ago, the parable of the fig tree must have been unsolvable. But we know from the old testament the fig tree is a symbol for Israel. As for a generation, the Bible does say this:

Psalm 90:10

"We live for 70 years, or 80 years if we're healthy, yet even in the prime years there are troubles and sorrow. They pass by quickly and we fly away."

1948 + 70 years = 2018
