Israeli forces struck targets near the Lebanon-Syria border on Wednesday, foreign media reported.
The Al-Mayadeen channel, closely associated with the Assad regime, reported the attack targeted a security facility in an industrial zone in a Homs suburb. They also reported Syrian forces responded with surface-to-air missiles.
The Lebanese Anshara website reported huge explosions near the villages of al-Eyn-al-Jedida, located in the eastern mountain range on the Lebanon-Syria border. Local residents reported Israeli jets circling the area prior to the explosion......

The “elites” is a humpty-dumptism. Whatever the elites are, they hate Israel, as is apparent from the anti-Israel groups they finance on college campuses all over the world, and the NGOs and fake political parties they finance within Israel. Israel can’t have Hizbollah concentrated on the border, digging tunnels, sending forth infiltrators and firing missiles. This isn’t “justification” for military action in Syria, but a matter of life and death for Israelis.
I have no doubt that “the elites” have a problem with Russia and Trump, but leave Israel out of it. Our news doesn’t happen on TV or in brain trusts. It charges at us in cars and with knives, or comes out of the sky from across the borders. As for our “powerful lobby,” OPEC, the PLO and Iran have theirs,too, and more money to pour into political systems everywhere, even in bad years, than Israel will ever see.
But apparently has no problem with ISIS camping out along the Golan Heights...go figure.
You find it odd that Israel must concern itself with the most immediate direct threats to Israel and put off dealing with longer term threats?
I find it odd that ISIS apparently poses no threat to Israel...ymmv.
I see. Because the television hasn’t shown you exactly what the IDF and/or Mossad is doing about that, nothing’s happening. Like I say, the news doesn’t happen on TV.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Your comment about Jewish money, typical left wing nonsense.
Those who hate Russia come off to me as the Trump Haters, I can understand that if the left is correct about Trumps close and personal ties to Russia. Close enough in your mind and much of the left to equate the two. Trump=Putin=Russia. You trumpet the Hillary/Kerry/Obama line.
I’d like an explanation how a warehouse in Homs poses a greater threat to Israelis than a ISIS terrorist camp 2km from a Golan settlement.
Israel has no problem lobbying the US for billions in aid and weapon systems, it seems the least they could do is not provide safe havens for sworn US enemies.
Ozone?
There is no safe haven for ISIS. What? IDF is guarding the camp and providing intel? They aren’t attacking it for now is all. That’s a ‘safe haven’? What that is is an overheated allegation that you can’t back up. Your real problem is that we attacked a warehouse in Homs. It contained ordnance that we didn’t want Hizbollah to have available. So what.
Russian agents of chaos have been inflaming tensions from all directions. They are not ideological, just destructive.
Mutual contacts and ceasefire, providing supplies and medical care...sorry bubbe, that's called a safe haven.
-btw its also documented, even if it doesn't appear on your corporate television.
The plebes are smarter than you think.
That is a back handed anti Zionist screed if I ever heard one.
Another noob trying to sow disinformation, or a walking dead retread. Hard to tell which it is.
I don’t know, guys... I’m plenty old enough (and I think at least one of you is, too - maybe both) to remember the Cold War. “USSR” and “Russia” were always interchangeable back then, and I STILL don’t like Russia. Don’t trust ‘em, won’t like ‘em. And I’m about as Pro-Trump as they come.
I’m pretty sure the Trump/Russia connection is the same as everything else - “If you want to know what the Democrats are doing, see what they are accusing the Republicans of doing.” - HeadOn, circa 1986
I don’t have any television, corporate or otherwise.
“-btw its also documented”
So put up or shut up.
“The plebes are smarter than you think.”
I see. I’m in a corporate tower in Tel Aviv, conspiring to take over the world and spill your plebian beer. The first phase of it was to not attack ISIS until I do. Then to “accidentally” bump against your shoulder, spilling your beer. But you wisely saw it coming and moved out of the way. Curses. Foiled again.
Matter of fact, not necessarily, but the anti-Semites who are also criticizing Israel make their true sentiments plain PDQ. A few buzz words or underlying assumptions stick out like a sore thumb. I don’t care, though. Their arguments interest me more.
ISIS is a cancer that continues to metastasize and inflict damage around the world. To do nothing when such evil is at your doorstep is intolerable.
So NO I'm not going to "shut up" about Israel's complicity with terrorism... better get used to hearing about it.
My exact words were “put up or shut up”. You allege Israeli complicity with terrorism. You say you have documentation. OK. You haven’t shown it, so I don’t believe you.
Your words were that “we plebs are smarter than you think”. In other words, you think I’m something other than a pleb, and I look down on plebs from my exulted height. So you raised the issue of where I am situated, which, not that it’s any of your business, is in Gush Etzion.
Likewise with TV, but I’m not swatting every fly here.
You got evidence of cooperation between Israel and ISIS? Put up or shut up. Or don’t shut up, but neither I nor any other participant in this forum will take you seriously. You make a charge like that, and you say you have proof? Let’s see it. Oops. I’m sorry you spilled your beer.
