New Attacks Target Israel From Syria
Townhall.com ^ | 10 October A.D. 2023 | Spencer Brown

After the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces reported new attacks being launched against the country from Syria in the wake of a handful of attacks launched from Lebanon against northern cities. Advertisement

The incoming fire from Syria — officially unidentified projectiles but reported by some to be mortars — did not hit any kibbutzim or populated areas in the Golan Heights where Israel is bordered by Syria, according to posts from the IDF on X, formerly Twitter, and Israeli forces have already responded with counter launches targeting the projectiles' point of origin.

In addition to its targeting of Hamas terrorists, munitions, and infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, the IDF has also continued responding to missiles and other projectiles launched from Lebanon toward Israel's north on Tuesday as Israeli forces now face and respond to threats on Israel's border with Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.

Embedded X post:

After 15 rockets from Lebanon hit northern Israel (4 intercepted and 10 landed in open areas), IDF tanks struck 2 Hezbollah observation posts. An anti-tank missile then struck an armored personnel carrier around Avivim inflicting no casualties. An Israeli helicopter bombed a third Hezbollah observation post in response.

A second front!

There are very few Christians in Gaza but Syria has many Orthodox Christians.

Ya Raab ur’ham!
Kyrie eleison!
Lord, have mercy!

I had suspected that the Hamas attack was just a diversion in preparation for some larger attack from somewhere else.

On the topic of Damascus:

Turn around,
Go back down,
Back the way you came,
Can’t you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?

And behold a mighty city broken in the dust again,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Turn around,
Go back down,

Another member of the Russian-Iranian axis attacking Israel.

Let’s see if the usual suspects will try to tell us who the “nazis” are here...

It’s hard to tell what with the undisciplined nature of ragheads armies. Could simply be individual all-night snackbar actors. Stupid to alert the Israelis if they have an actual attack planned.

Israel should be issuing arms to its adult citizens without restraint about now. To hell with the paperwork doo-dah. If Israel survives this it should take action against its home grown gun grabbers. I suggest life turning rocks into sand by hand.

No, it’s not. These are small groups of retards blowing up dirt with low grade mortars.
They will be spotted and eliminated easily.

The “Samson Option” would be a nuking of Mecca taking out moe-ham-head’s black rock. I think it would happen if Israel was over run.

There are a reasonable number of Orthodox Christians in the West Bank, and in Israel itself. Israel is the home of quite a few Russian Orthodox Christians.

Gaza is NOT a safe place for Christians of any kind!

Gospodi pomiluj!!!!

Господи помилуй!

Israel was deploying forces to these areas planning on this to happen. Social Media posts from the areas said that it been feeling like the “calm before the storm” up there

I would bet you are right and the absolute worst is happening. More Muzzard countries joined in attacking Israel who can’t possibly defend alone against them all.

A totally lethal mess.

We are seeing all the left in Europe and the US pimping for the Hamas out in the streets.

The violence could erupt anywhere.
