'ISRAEL WILL NOT HESITATE TO DESTROY SYRIAN AIR DEFENSES'

>Israeli media.
>free.
https://rsf.org/en/ranking

because 101 is such a high place on the press freedom index :no:. instead of trying to strech the truth like taffy perhaps the IDF should publish figures that are semi-believeable. instead of trying to keep the fake "miracle army" myth alive.

we all know they lost more than 5 Merkava tanks and Hezbollah lost no more then 300 men for sure. compared to the IDF's 100 and considering the Lebanese and Israeli birthrates. that is far more damaging for the Israeli regime than Hezbollah.

:coffee: As for Liebermann's claim that "we will destroy Syria's air defenses"; they may destroy a couple of S-200 & S-75 batteries but they wont get anywhere near all should they try. The Russians on the ground make it dangerous for the jews to launch SEAD operations across the whole of Syria. The Russians as whole have a "suck-up" policy towards Israel at times but they wont tolerate too many dead from such airstrikes. In the end, it would be a great idea to try and bait the Israelis and Russians into war with each other. the russians would win in the end, although they may decide to leave syria after such a conflict.
 
Yeah yeah yeah, You can't shoot Israeli plane even in your dreams.
Only lies and deceits, like the nation which Iran is.
As I said, Iran is butchering syrians and arabs, warmonger nation
I'm sorry as an outsider in this situation, Israel is the biggest warmonger in the region no two ways about it.

your entire economy and the free hand outs you get from The States is all based on israel being in constant conflict with the rest of the middle east.

Our economy is based on Hi Tech features, which in part is military products. China is a warmonger nation by ur standards since it's bigger exporter of military tech.
Our aid from the U.S is for developing technologies and buying military tech from the U.S, don't see how it has to do with anything.
by the way, UK sell more weapons than Israel does but eh.
Iran and Russia killed more Syrians than Israeli killed arabs/muslim/palestinians or w/e in 70 years.

yes a tech sector developed under US supervision for US corporations to utilize. with over 50% of its funds coming abroad (mostly from the USA but also some European countries).

China has been in a whole 3 wars since WW2 (one with the US in Korea, one with India after their troops passed through the LOC & the sino-vietnamese war which they were somewhat at fault in). Israel has been in like 5 or 6 all against Arabs. Weapon's exports dont mean "being a warmonger" though.. very true.

For your last remark I am confused, are you trying to say the Russians & Iranians are more talented in killing than you guys are or ?? Iran has been involved with 1 war with an Arab state (Iraq which started the conflict in the first place) and the involvement in the Syrian civil war has only affected Terrorists/combatants, likewise the russians try to minimize strikes on civilians.

the israeli plan in wars with the arabs is bombing civilian infastructure. far more deadly than either any Iranian or russian plot.

"The Israeli plan in war is boming civilian infrastructure" Did Israel bombed lebanese power stations? civilian airplanes? destroyed water supply? Same for gaza, Actually Israel provide food and electricity to gaza and Palestinians and they're in debt to us.
"Russia try to minimize strikes on civilians" according to whom? According to russian or russian backers sites, cause western sites says differently.
In Iran's only water with Iraq, 2 million died, 20 times more than all of Israeli wars casualties on both sides.
Israeli wars were defensive, even the 6 days war started after arab armies gathering on israeli borders and shouting from arab leaders for the soon destruction of Israel.

first on the matter of civilian infastructure https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/aug/23/israelandthepalestinians.syria
yes you did according to guardian and many other sources. including but not limited to the US & UK press. as for the palestinians you arent doing them any favours with it. their economy would triple in size if you left. (gaza you dont give any aid to as of now let's be realisistic.)

on the Russian airstrikes, Syrian human rights observatory projected about 2000 collateral dead. that is not too much considering how much it technically would be if they were engaged in carpetbombing or a deliberate strike. likewise the only infastructure Russia has targeted were oil wells. not hospitals or anything of the like.


2 million didnt die during Iran-Iraq highest estimate is around 600,000-700,000. likewise Israel started the 1967 war and jumped in instantly at the behest of the UK in the suez war (in which egypt didnt do a thing to israel at this time). just because the Iranians killed a handful more arabs in a defensive war which it didnt even want. whereas Israel volunteered in 2 of these wars. It becomes pretty clear.

Usrael almost completely destroyed southern Lebanon..so do not lie here again!
And why the Palestinians should be indebted to you, when in the first place you are occupying their land?
With the offshore gas reserves near Gaza, an independent Palestine will be richer than Usrael..
For the rest of your post it is also full of lies or ignorance of facts..

Why They Died
Civilian Casualties in Lebanon during the 2006 War

[…]

IV. Legal Standards Applicable to the Conflict
A. Applicable International Law

[…]

  1. There has been controversy over the humanitarian law applicable to Hezbollah. Unless Hezbollah forces are considered to be a part of the Lebanese armed forces, demonstrated allegiance to such forces, or were under the direction or effective control of the government of Lebanon, there is a basis for finding that hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah are covered by the humanitarian law rules for a non-international (that is, non-intergovernmental) armed conflict. Under such a characterization, applicable treaty law would be common article 3 to the 1949 Geneva Conventions […]. Whether captured Hezbollah or Israeli fighters would be entitled to the protections of the Third Geneva Convention for prisoners of war, the Fourth Geneva Convention for protected persons, or only the basic protections of common article 3, would depend on the legal characterization of the conflict and a factual analysis of Hezbollah and its relationship to the Lebanese armed forces. […]
[…]

VI. Hezbollah Conduct during the War
  1. Hezbollah was responsible for numerous serious violations of the laws of war during its conflict with Israel. […]
[…]

B. Hezbollah’s Weapons Storage

  1. Human Rights Watch documented a number of cases where Hezbollah violated the laws of war by storing weapons and ammunition in populated areas and making no effort to remove the civilians under their control from the area. Humanitarian law requires warring parties to take all feasible precautions to protect civilian populations in areas under their control from the affects [sic] of attacks. This includes avoiding deploying military targets such as weapons and ammunition in densely populated areas, and when this is not possible, removing civilians from the vicinity of military objectives. […]
  2. Intentionally using civilians to protect a military objective from attack would be shielding.
[…]

C. Hezbollah’s Rocket Firing Positions

  1. In most southern Lebanese villages visited by Human Rights Watch, local villagers consistently stated that Hezbollah fighters had not fired rockets from within the village, but from nearby fields and orchards, or from more remote uninhabited valleys. On a few occasions, Human Rights Watch was able to establish through eyewitness interviews that Hezbollah fighters did fire directly from inhabited villages, a practice that would have put the civilian population of those villages at great risk of Israeli counterfire. While international humanitarian law recognizes that fighting from or near populated areas is permissible if there are no feasible alternatives, Hezbollah did have alternatives when it fired from inside villages in the [majority] of cases examined by Human Rights Watch. This is evidenced by the fact that Hezbollah had bunkers and positions outside villages and was able to actually use them a great deal of the time.
[…]

D. Claims of Hezbollah “Human Shielding” Practices

  1. Israeli officials have repeatedly accused Hezbollah of using the Lebanese civilian population as “human shields” by deploying their forces – fighters, weapons, and equipment – in civilian areas for the purpose of deterring IDF attack. On many occasions, Israeli officials blamed these alleged shielding practices as the primary cause for Lebanese civilian deaths. […]
[…]

  1. A key element of the humanitarian law violation of shielding is intention: the purposeful use of civilians to render military objectives immune from attack.
  2. As noted above, we documented cases where Hezbollah stored weapons inside civilian homes or fired rockets from inside populated civilian areas. At minimum, that violated the legal duty to take all feasible precautions to spare civilians the hazards of armed conflict, and in some cases it suggests the intentional use of civilians to shield against attack. However, these cases were far less numerous than Israeli officials have suggested. The handful of cases of probable shielding that we did find does not begin to account for the civilian death toll in Lebanon. […]
  3. The Israeli government’s allegations seem to stem from an unwillingness to distinguish the prohibition against human shielding – the intentional use of civilians to shield a military objective from attack – from that against endangering the civilian population by failing to take all feasible precautions to minimize civilian harm, and even from instances where Hezbollah conducted operations in residential areas empty of civilians. Individuals responsible for shielding can be prosecuted for war crimes; failing to fully minimize harm to civilians is not considered a violation prosecutable as a war crime.
  4. To constitute shielding, there needs to be a specific intent to use civilians to deter an attack.
[…]

  1. […] Our investigation revealed that Hezbollah violated the prohibition against unnecessarily endangering civilians when they took over civilian homes in the populated village, fired rockets close to homes, and drove through the village in at least one instance with weapons in their cars. However, the available evidence does not demonstrate human shielding – the purposeful use of civilians to deter an attack – in `Ain Ebel. Hezbollah did not seize any inhabited houses in the village; even witnesses that criticized Hezbollah’s behavior agreed that Hezbollah took over only houses that had no one in them. While Hezbollah fired rockets from within the village, none of the witnesses interviewed by Human Rights Watch claimed that Hezbollah fired from or near homes that were populated at the time, or fled into populated areas of the village after firing their rockets. […]
[…]

E. Hezbollah Firing from Near UN Positions

  1. […] [T]here is strong evidence to suggest that Hezbollah fired much more frequently from the vicinity of UN outposts in southern Lebanon. According to reliable UNIFIL records, Hezbollah fighters fired rockets on an almost daily basis from close proximity to UN observer posts in southern Lebanon, often drawing retaliatory Israeli fire on the nearby UN positions as a result. There are two likely motives for this conduct, which are not mutually exclusive. On the one hand, the hills on which most observation posts are located are also good places from Hezbollah’s perspective for firing on Israel. On the other hand, Hezbollah commanders may have at times selected those positions for firing because the presence of UN personnel made it more difficult for Israel to counterattack. Insofar as the latter consideration motivated Hezbollah combatants, that would constitute shielding.
  2. Peacekeeping forces are not parties to a conflict, even if they are usually professional soldiers. As long as they do not take part in hostilities, they are entitled to the same protections under the laws of war afforded to civilians and other non-combatants. Deploying military forces or materiel near a UN base or outpost would violate at the very least the duty to take all feasible precautions to avoid harm to non combatants if there were feasible alternatives. Intentionally using the presence of peacekeepers to make one’s forces immune from attack amounts to human shielding.
[…]

F. Hezbollah Combatants in Civilian Clothes

  1. On the few occasions that Human Rights Watch researchers encountered Hezbollah fighters in the field during the conflict, those Hezbollah fighters were invariably dressed in civilian clothes, and often had no visible weaponry on them. Especially away from the frontlines, Hezbollah fighters appear to have operated in small cells of fighters, dressed in civilian clothes and maintaining contact with each other as well as Hezbollah fighters in other cells with handheld radios. Away from active areas of combat, Hezbollah fighters were normally unarmed, keeping their weapons out of sight until needed. Only during active confrontations with Israeli forces did some Hezbollah fighters, particularly Hezbollah’s elite fighters, fight in military uniforms.
  2. While the humanitarian law applicable during the Israeli conflict with Hezbollah placed no obligation on those participating in the hostilities to wear uniforms, the routine appearance of Hezbollah fighters in civilian clothes and their failure to carry their weapons openly put the civilian population of Lebanon at risk. Since Hezbollah fighters regularly appeared in civilian clothes, Israeli forces would have had difficulty distinguishing between fighters and other male, fighting-age civilians, and such difficulty increased the dangers of IDF operations to the civilian population of Lebanon. However, the failure of Hezbollah fighters to consistently distinguish themselves as combatants does not relieve Israeli forces of their obligation to distinguish at all times between combatants and civilians and to target only combatants. The difficulty of making that distinction does not negate Israel’s obligation. In cases of doubt, a person must be considered a civilian and not a legitimate military target.

And that report does not even state that Hizbullah shoot into Israeli CIVILIAN population during the war, to begin with, not to ARMY positions

likewise Israel started the 1967 war and jumped in instantly at the behest of the UK in the suez war (in which egypt didnt do a thing to israel at this time).

"Egypt didn't do anything to Israel at that time" Nothing but trying to destroy it with several other arab states in 48
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_the_Six-Day_War
 
Interesting; it's the first time that surface-to-air missile has been intercepted, and by none other than an anti-ballistic missile. The Arrow-3 is also an interesting choice for shooting down missile debris (the David's Sling, Patriot, or Iron Dome would've performed equally well).
It is comical isn't it?

first on the matter of civilian infastructure https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/aug/23/israelandthepalestinians.syria

2 million didnt die during Iran-Iraq highest estimate is around 600,000-700,000. likewise Israel started the 1967 war and jumped in instantly at the behest of the UK in the suez war (in which egypt didnt do a thing to israel at this time). just because the Iranians killed a handful more arabs in a defensive war which it didnt even want. whereas Israel volunteered in 2 of these wars. It becomes pretty clear.


You would have loved to see a weak Lebanon without Hezbollah.. This militia is made of Lebanese people to defend against the Usraeli warmongering..

Israel is hilariously stupid and brazen, they violate Syrian airspace, help Isis by attacking Syrian government forces fighting Isis in Palmyra and then threaten Syria that they will destroy their air defenses if they fire on intruding Israeli aircraft.
What do you expect from crazy people? They were the first to attacked Iraq's nuclear infrastructure, and were behind the US and NATO sanctions and invasion of Iraq..

:lol::lol::lol:
Tell me when IDF didn't accept!! you can't because there's none.

Stop arguing and give proof of downing the Jet... any dumbo can claim claim anything... Did Israel accept SAM fired from Syria at IDF jets??? Yes.... is this the first time they fired at IDF?? No...
So tell me where is the downed Jet??? show us the radar record of confirming the strike on the Jets...you simply can't because there's nothing..... Who's stopping the rats from firing so called Iranian advanced missiles???

you tell me one thing.. how many times have you heard from Arab and Israeli sources of IDF jets striking Hamas targets over Sryrian and Lebanon skies while they transport weapons from Syria!! i can't even have a count now.. so what was stoping the hamas from firing those missiles at Israel??:o:

kiddo.... you've no idea about IDF.. tell me how did they crossed thousands of miles evading radars and went into Iraq and Syria and bombed the reactors???>:o: you should ask the Russian how did IDF got closer to S-300 and jammed it:lol:

FYI to jam a radar of s-300 you don't have to get near 10km..
Show the S-200 wreckage not your arrow's!

How can we show you the wreckage if it didn't even land in Israel
 
the arabs preyed on the weak iosrael in thee beginning... its justifiable payback
Usrael has never been weak, in 1948 it was backed by the UK and France, and the Usraeli fighters had the WW2 experience, while most of the neighbouring Arab states were still under British rule and had very weak armies, if one would call that "armies" with WW1 weapons if any!

Weapons
Largely leftover World War II era weapons were used by both sides. Egypt had some British equipment; the Syrian army had some French. German, Czechoslovak and British equipment was used by Israel.[210]

Israel had no organized army, but mostly volunteers
 
my "Regime" has free media, unlike Iran's.
From Haaretz to criticizing the government half of the time to channel 7 news.
Even al jaazera and other Israeli haters has reporters here.
But Iran's Press TV is just as credible as Iran being a democracy :omghaha:
You regime has fake free media, that is what you want to show to the world to call you a democracy, while any Usraeli murderer or corrupt will be innocented by your courts, and a 9 year old Palestinian throwing rocks on your occupying soldiers will go to jail and be kept there for years, out of sight from your media and justice system!?
