UPDATE
RT reports:
Strong blasts hit the outskirts of the Syrian capital early on Sunday, state TV reports, saying that Israeli rockets have targeted a military research center.
Massive explosions have been heard near Mount Qasioun in Damascus. The area hosts the Jamraya military research center, which came under Israeli attack earlier in January and marked the first incursion by Israel into Syrian airspace in six years.
A senior US official confirmed to NBC News that Israeli Air Force bombed the military research center.
RT has managed to speak to local journalist Abdallah Mawazini, for a report on the latest developments. Apart from the 300 soldiers who are said to have died and hundreds wounded, he reported the following:
“When the explosion happened in Damascus, all the houses were shaken. There was dust everywhere. Right now we’re receiving more information about the attack, which targeted the Jamraya military research center. Everyone woke up, most of the people ran downstairs – to make sure they are safe. Now we are getting more information. The sound of the explosion was heard everywhere in Damascus. People are scared.”
During the attack, one Israeli jet was reportedly shot down by Syria's Air Force, according to Hezbollah's Manar TV channel, citing security sources in Damascus.
Fatah 110 missiles??? Hezbollah already has a million of those.
ReplyDeleteThe real reason Israel attacked is because it could. Syria is weakened by the NATO/Saudi/Qatari terrorist campaign and so they take advantage of it.
The other reason is that the terrorists have been on the run and about to get wiped out. So Israel lends them an assist.

Israel attacked because weapons came too close to its northern border. Libertarians like to think Israel loves war and bombs places for fun.
ReplyDeleteNo Israeli plane was shot down. Al Manar likes to say things like that because it raises morale. Syria has Zero ability to shoot down any of our planes.
" Libertarians like to think Israel loves war and bombs places for fun."
DeleteOne of many quotes showing "Israel" is a terrorist state.

In the spring of 1972, General Matetiyahu Peled, Chief of Logistical Command during the war and one of 12 members of Israel’s General Staff, addressed a political literary club in Tel Aviv. He said: “The thesis according to which the danger of genocide hung over us in June 1967, and according to which Israel was fighting for her very physical survival, was nothing but a bluff which was born and bred after the war.”

Mosh Dayan, "Israel defense minister":
I made a mistake in allowing the Israel conquest of the Golan Heights. As defense minister I should have stopped it because the [fourth day of the war].
