Don't worry. Strong Arab (Egypt, KSA, UAE) countries are in good relations with Israel. Failed states who can only barrel bomb helpless peasants can't do anything to Israel.

They are our neighbors for decades (Hezbollah, Hamas, Assad). Beside terror against civilians they cant do anything. Mullah regime is most pathetic and coward regime in human history.

is it just me or is this story following a familiar script? remember the Lebanese civil war?

The Zionists, americans and French didn't like its outcome. became desperate and took measures to directly occupy Lebanon.

This was before Hezbollah slaughtered 250~ American troops, 70+ Frenchies troops and forced them to leave with tails firmly behind their backs. (this was the Cowboy Reagan years too, and iran and hezbolllah were extremely weak at the time)

Hezbollah followed this up putting its boot firmly up the Zionist a** and ejecting them by force out of Lebanon (the first time an arab army ejected an Israeli army by force of arms)

Now this exact script is playing out in Syria. except on a larger degree this time. Desperate frenchies, americans and Zionists trying to reverse a lost war. except this time iran and Hezbollah are 1000x times stronger. Syria is a much bigger stronger state then Lebanon..

I predict another massacre/humiliation for the americans/frenchies/Zionist alliance. Eventually the American/frenchies might get the hint that bleeding for parasitic Zionists might not be a good idea and leave. just like they did in Lebanon

Alas Khamenaists history knowledge is very poor. Assad entered Lebanon in 1976 to help Christian minority government. Assad slaughtered many thousands of Palestinian Muslims first with help of Christian militias and later with help of Shia militias.

As result Lebanon became a failed state. Lebanese Christians became puppets of Saudi Arabia (Hariri camp) and Iran (Aoun camp).

Now Iran entered Syria to help the Alawi minority government. The outcome will be same. Syria already turned into a failed state for good and Alawis became puppets of Iran and Russia.

And biggest losers beside Lebanese and Syrian people are Iranian and Russian people, who live in poverty but need to spend billions each year to keep Assad alive.

Syria: Rebels evacuate last opposition-held enclave
Rebels agreed to leave last bastion of opposition fighters amid the ongoing government push to retake lost territory.

A massive convoy of buses carrying thousands of opposition fighters and their families from the besieged city of Homs arrived in Syria's northern rebel-held district of al-Bad.

Sixty-six buses carrying 3,194 people arrived on Tuesday a day after leaving the town of Rastan, located roughly halfway between Homs and Hama, media reports said.

The evacuation was a part of an agreement reached between several major Free Syrian Army factions and Russia, under which the opposition agreed to surrender medium to heavy military hardware in exchange for safe passage to Idlib province and Jarablus city in northern Syria.

Syria's official SANA news agency announced earlier on Tuesday that rebels handed over most of their heavy weapons, including six tanks and three armoured personnel carriers.

The agreement covers the towns of Rastan, Talbis, Teir-Maale, El-Ganta and Houla, all of which lie 10-15km north of Homs.

The enclave was the last remaining rebel stronghold outside Idlib where much of the opposition has relocated as a result of a series of similar evacuation deals.

Government recapture

The odds have tilted in President Bashar al-Assad's favour ever since Russia intervened and increased its support for government troops in September 2015.

Assad's forces retook the entirety of East Ghouta, outside of the capital Damascus, in April after recapturing the last rebel-controlled town of Douma.

A major military campaign was launched in February with the aim of capturing the last remaining pockets of opposition resistance in Eastern Ghouta.

Analysts say the area's strategic significance stems from its proximity to the capital.

The Eastern Ghouta offensive took a heavy toll on opposition fighters who were subsequently forced into accepting evacuation deals.

In Damascus, Syrian forces pressed further against members of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in a small area south of the city.

Syrian forces have advanced on the ISIL-controlled neighbourhood of Hajar al-Aswad as well as the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk since last month.

'Iranian forces' fire rockets at Israeli positions in Golan Heights
If confirmed, this would be the first rocket attack carried out directly by Iran, rather than by one of its proxies, against Israel.

21 minutes ago

MORE ON MIDDLE EAST
Tensions between Israel, Syria and Iran appear to be escalating, with Israeli war planes firing at targets inside Syria.

The state news agency there is reporting that several military sites including a radar facility and an ammunition depot were destroyed.

Earlier, the Israeli military said Iranian forces in neighbouring Syria fired rockets at their positions in the occupied Golan Heights.

Israel is urging residents in the occupied Golan Heights to enter bomb shelters after 20 rockets were fired into the area from Syria.

The Israeli military is blaming Iranian forces.

If confirmed, this would be the first rocket attack carried out directly by Iran, rather than by one of its proxies, against Israel.

Al Jazeera's Charlotte Bellis reports.

Israel says it hit Iranian military targets in Syria
Military says it carried out the strikes after Tehran fired missiles towards its forces in the occupied Golan Heights.

an hour ago

MORE ON SYRIA'S WAR
The Israeli army said on Thursday it hit dozens of Iranian military targets in Syria overnight, accusing Tehran of launching rocket and missile attack towards its forces in the occupied Golan Heights.

"The (Israeli military) has struck dozens of Iranian military targets in Syria," Israeli military spokesman Jonathan Conricus told journalists.

He said they targeted intelligence, logistics, storage and vehicles as well as the origin of the rockets.

The Israeli military also said that it had destroyed some Syrian military targets.

A Syrian radar installation was destroyed in the attack, Syrian state news agency SANA cited a military source as saying.

"This is the first time that Israel has directly accused Iran of attacking it from within Syrian territory since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011," Al Jazeera correspondent Harry Fawcett said from Jerusalem.

"The question is whether that will be a deterrent or whether it could invite further escalation from the other side now that these things are in train, accidental escalation towards further conflict is always a possibility."

'Destabilise the entire region'
Israel was accused of attacking an airbase near Homs province in April. In February, an Israeli F-16 fighter jet was shot down by the Syrian military while targeting what it called Iranian sites responsible for launching a drone into the occupied Golan Heights.

Israel has carried out more than a dozen strikes in Syria in the past year.

The two countries are still technically at war, although the border had remained largely quiet for decades until 2011 when the Syrian conflict broke out.

This was one of the largest Israeli military operations in recent years and the biggest against Iranian targets.

Conricus said Russia was informed before the attack.

Moscow and Tehran are close allies of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has been fighting a civil war for the past seven years. Over half a million Syrians have died, and nearly half of the prewar population has been displaced.

Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra, reporting from Beirut, said the move created concerns in neighbouring Lebanon after the Lebanese army said the country's airspace had been violated by Israeli fighter jets.

"Israel has said in the past that the Syrian government is paving the way for Iran and Hezbollah [a Lebanese Shia militia] to maintain a strong military presence in the [occupied] Golan Heights not far from the border with Israel."

Ahelbarra said that any confrontation between Israel and Iran could trigger a reaction from Hezbollah, which backs President Assad.

"If that happens, then you might end up with a situation where you have different frontlines, different battlefields happening at the same time, which could further destabilise the entire region."

  • Since March 2011, fighting in Syria has killed an estimated 465,000 people, injured more than one million, and forced about 12 million people - or half the country's pre-war population - from their homes.

    Eastern Ghouta, an area east of the capital Damascus, was the focus of a fierce offensive by President Bashar al-Assad's forces in recent weeks, resulting in more than 1,000 deaths, including those of 215 children, and 145 women.

    On April 12, all of the rebel-held enclave was taken by the Syrian army and Russian military police patrols after all opposition groups agreed to evacuate.

    Elsewhere, in northern Syria, Turkish troops and allied Syrian rebels have been deployed to the Kurdish enclave of Afrin to confront a US-backed Kurdish militia.

    The allied forces have now taken the main city of Afrin.

    ISIL: The presence of ISIL is now limited to al-Hajar al-Aswad, south of Damascus, and Albu Kamal.

    Golan Heights: The Israeli army said on Thursday it hit dozens of Iranian military targets in Syria overnight, and accused Iran of launching a rocket-and-missile attack on its forces in the occupied Golan Heights.

    This is one of the many attacks by Israel in to Syria targeting regime government buildings and Iranian presence in Syria.

    In a map released on Twitter by Israeli military spokesman Jonathan Conricusfrom it claimed to have hit almost twenty locations.

Syria is so F-ed up - massive Israeli airstrikes are a minor story in the bigger Syria picture

Syrian media, and Lebanese media that follows Syria, has very little objectivity. The best (although not perfect) place to see what is happening in Syria is the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, which reports on all attacks in Syria from all factions and the casualties.

Reading their website on the day after the massive Israeli airstrikes yesterday is almost unreal. Sure, there were a couple of articles about the raids as they happened, but so many people get killed by so many different actors in Syria every day, the Israeli raids were just considered one event among many.

As of this writing, the SOHR hasn't published the total death toll in Syria from Thursday. On both Wednesday and Tuesday more than 60 were killed throughout the country on all sides of the civil war. The SOHR says that 23 people, apparently all of them Syrian or Iranian fighters, were killed in the Israeli raids - the biggest Israeli air raids in Syria since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

The Israeli airstrikes are just another story.

As of this writing, here are the stories in the top two news sections of the site:





The Israeli raids are little more than a footnote the next day.

The Observatory's early story on the Israeli raids themselves show how precise they were. Although they say it is possible that two civilians were killed by being at the wrong place at the wrong time during an Israeli raid on Wednesday, the couple might have just died in a car accident.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented the death of 23 people at least as a result of the Israeli missile strikes, which targeted several military positions and points of the regime forces and allies in scattered areas in central Syria, near the capital Damascus and Rif Dimashq, the western countryside of al-Suwaidaa and the triangle of Daraa – Quneitra – West of Rif Dimashq just before dawn of Thursday the 10th of May 2018, and the casualties are: 5 members of the regime forces including at least one officer, and 18 others of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities, and the death toll is expected to rise because there are some people in critical situation, and due to information about other casualties, the Syrian Observatory published that violent explosions rocked the several areas in the Syrian territory just before dawn of today, Thursday, the 10th of May 2018, caused by Israeli missile strikes which targeted scattered sites near the capital, Damascus, Rif Dimashq, central Syria and Quneitra, where the strikes targeted sites believed to belong to the Lebanese Hezbollah southwest of Homs city, and other sites of Hezbollah and fighters loyal to the regime forces in the triangle of Daraa – Quneitra – west of Rif Dimashq, also the strikes targeted a military area of the regime forces in al-Dumayr Airbase area at the Eastern Qalamoun, where the missiles fell near the headquarters where the Iranians are located, also the strikes targeted Muadamiyat al-Sham town west of Damascus, where fighters of Hezbollah, Iran and the 4th Division of the Syrian regime are located, but no information until the moment as to whether the missiles that fell on Muadamiyat al-Sham has targeted military positions or not, also a missile landed in the vicinity of Jaramana south of the capital, and the shelling targeted regime’s Air Defense sites, while the fall of Israeli missiles was renewed after midnight of yesterday on Al-Quneitra province, where the missiles targeted sites of the regime forces and their allies near Hodr town north of Quneitra and near Khan Arnabah town, and in the same context, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in conjunction with the these intensive targeting operation has monitored explosions in the sky of the areas; caused by regime’s anti-aircraft interception for the Israeli missiles and managed to shoot down some of them, and the Israeli missile strikes caused significant material losses in several targeted locations, amid confirmed information about casualties.

The Israeli shelling came just before the dawn of Sunday after the fall of missiles after midnight, launched from al-Quneitra area and southwest Rif Dimashq adjacent to the occupied territories of Golan, following the Israeli shelling which took place last night and targeted locations near al-Ba’ath city in the central countryside of Quneitra.

The Syrian Observatory published yesterday, Wednesday, that the number of casualties continues to rise as a result of the missile strikes that targeted al-Kiswah area in the southwest sector of Rif Dimashq, which were carried out by Israeli forces targeting Iranian missile warehouses and platforms, where it rose to at least 15 including at least 8 Iranians, the number of members who were killed by the missile strikes on the area, while it is not known yet whether the rest of them belong to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or if they belong to a militia loyal to Iran, also a man and his wife were killed near place of shelling but the circumstances of their deaths are not known whether they were killed the result of a traffic accident, or it happened that they were there in the moment of shelling which caused their deaths, and the death toll is expected to rise because there are some people in critical situation, and due to the presence of missing persons.​

Israel seems to be the only player in Syria that actually cares about avoiding civilian casualties.

What a thoroughly messed-up country.

This raid proves (among many other things) that the world media pretty much ignores Syria unless somehow Jews are part of the story.

What terror....only terrorist organization is your country ....Hezbollah has only responded on your agrasions and killing..and always fight against your army...You are implementing genocide and ethnic purge for 70 years and now finiy no one eats your shit anymore...this is not 1990 when you could just spread propagande...now people have many ways to inform themself..... it is time to fight against mens...and with somone who will actualy fight ...you think people will not defend itself ?Well my friend now you're not dealing with incopetent Arabs Armies...for your small country even conventional weapons have same effect like nukes....no strategic deep,enemy on all sides and in hart of Israel...what you will do when finily provoke war and when milions of soldiers enter Israel..... irony is even those failed Arab states that are now on same line with Natanyahu...if war actually start you can bet half those governments would be overthrown....seems to me you don't understand that with just little fire power there will be no time for anyone to help you...you have small country without strategic deep and with very few and concentrated installations..this can't be compensate with anything....only few hundrets of precise balistic missiles would devastate your country in 15 minutes...and after that ground troops could just enter....this is why Isreal so badly wants to force US to attack Iran...Iran actually has capacity to do such attack and that is why it is under pressure
Arabs did evrything wrong when dealing with Israel... Iran is doing things properly....even if you succeed to lunch some nukes it would not have even close effect on Iran because of their size and strategic deep..while for you simultaneously lunched attack would mean end...since you are living surrounded from all sides...on first sign of weakness evryone would atack you...and I can't believe Arabs didn't implement this aprouch long time ago ...I wouldn't like to see such disaster but seems to me Israel doesn't plan retreat to internationly recognized 1967 borders and stop expansion and aggression.
I think it would be the best for all to do that....form independent Palestinian state ...they would probably accept to be demilitarised zone and finaly stop the longest crisis.
Otherwise I think it would be reason for major war and destruction...as I see Isreal government and most people do not understand that religious books are not foundation for world order and international laws...you can't request something just because it is predicted by your religion or written in your holy book...if everyone start to request land they lost at some point in history we would have anarchy.Also military power is also no guarantee and foundation for anything because it is something that change over time...so only sustainable solution is posible if it is considering interests of both people...there are only two practical solutions...one multi ethnic state with same rights for evryone or two nacional states formed side by side...Now this aparheid rasistic state where they implement ethnic purge by forcing everyone who is not Jewish to live and giving their lands to Jewish migrants is something that will not last because it will stop exist as soon someone in that region succeed to build nukes or balance of power goes in oposite direction...if you look definition of Genocide and Ethinc purge....it is literary like they are written on Israel and Nazi Germany examples.
Also now it is digital age,everyone with mobile phone is journalist...it is not posible to spread propagande on FOX or CNN like it was in 1990...and we saw results in UN when voting take place...I mean 192 countries didn't support you even US literary threaten every country if not do it...with all these threats only country on planet that supported Israel is US(thus few archipelago countries with budgets worth less than Messi yearly salary)..And even now you don't care for this and might not seems important for you...well IT IS.....it should raise alarm...every impery implode at some point...US could do it any time...also balance of power could change literary overnight so you should start asking yourself what after....what if tomorow you wake up and your neighbors test nuklear device and at some point they will..because your nukes are reason for them to go for it also...So in my point of view,except your goal is to start nuklear war,than you should really start thinking about starting true and honest peace process...where you will secure your national interests but also where others will also secure their...make compromise...start thinking outside of promise land and understand that this is very small and very sensitive planet where we all need to live.
When you start looking things from this perspective many things will be less important than our feature as humans.
And there is one thing I would never understand...your people was huge victim in the past and in most cases people suffered in the past are mostly sensitive and commited to not allow that anything similar happened to anyone and anywhere..but now you are doing exactlly same thing to other people and because of same reason it happened to your people..just because they're different....I meanmy country was 4 years in devastating war,I was soldier and was in Croatia when war started..after two months I return to Bosnia and join ARBiH ..I saw huge suffering in Croatia and latter even worst in my country....even was soldier and I would be always soldier no metter I'm retired now.
I remeber when I came to Army ... young and stupid...me and other soldiers..we were almost desired battle where we could prove ourselfs......but now after I saw what is war in reality..after all those sufferings , I will always prefer peace over war...always preferring peace process over military solution...I mean it is nice when you looking a war on TV..discuss about it on forum...etc but when you engaged in one than it has completly different taste..When you see so many death...childrens who never played outside of basements...hunger....fathers and mothers who don't have anything to give their childrens for eat...and worst thing is....you finally see what are people capable to do and I was sick of it...people torture and killing their first neighbors and same people they worked and lived with ....My pointis is..how could anyone whose mothers,fathers,grandfathers,sisters...etc were huge victimes of rasiszm,genocide,ethinc purge..and what not ..how can they now do the samething to others...and do it for same resons ?
