Israel strikes Syrian military near Golan Heights

a reply to: flatbush71

Is this a recruiting video, or just a promotional/propaganda piece?

Also, they forgot to add "Make no mistake. We are a Nuclear power, and will use them if necessary."

The Syrian Arab Army are the ones telling the truth.

The video is just a statement of fact.

How many burgers have you eaten at Micky Ds in Golani Junction ?

Or how many nights have you laid down your head to sleep up on the Golan and heard those same jets flying over head keeping you safe ?

Israel said it was errant, accidental.

I wasn't disparaging the video. I was just wondering the purpose behind it's having been made. Perhaps my use of the word propaganda gave you the wrong impression. If so, my apologies.

I don't doubt it was. As I said, Syria has enough problems at the moment to deal with. It doesn't need an armed conflict with Israel added to it's burxen.

It is strange that Isis rarely attacks Israel. I read a story not long ago about a female Israeli soldier being stabbed and Isis claimed responsibility.

If Syria did bomb the Golan Heights territory Israel has the right to defend the population.

The only time ISIS™ (Israeli Special Investigations Service) gets near Israel™ is to get their paychecks. I bet they even remove their hoods and gloves to speed up the process..

Why is it strange?

ISIS is not out to hound Israel, it's out to create an Islamic caliphate across existing Muslim dominated land. Why antagonise someone who will slap you back?

Right. Could you then please explain how Isis dares attacking countries such as UK and France who by all means are military super powers compared to Israel ?

No offense taken.

But for many years I had the privilege to work along side many members of IDF/IAF.

I've seen them do some very incredible things. Things most people know nothing about.

Northern Command is also the home of the Legendary Golani Brigade and I will always defend my young.

Doubt they are telling the truth. Israel will be stepping up operations in the area, their survival as a nation is at stake.

I actually have a lot of respect for the IDF. I may not agree with all the policies they are ordered to follow, but the IDF itself is fearsome.

a reply to: flatbush71

But you didn't answer my question, though. About the purpose of that IDF Air Force video. I'm just curious if it was a recruiting film or just a public support builder-type film.

The war in Syria has moved to the post ISIS phase, now we're going to see a massive movement for Iran/Hezbollah and other anti-Israeli forces to take the Golan Heights.

Everyone knows that's coming now; also Syria will never have the same borders as they do now, that's changed.

My friend, things are getting bad in the North as we speak. More rounds landed inside the wire today. Two Syrian artillery emplacements as well as ammo trucks were taken out in response.

The combat record of IAF can stand on its own merit. The video is just a representation of that fact.

On a side note after the successful execution of OP Babylon the Hammmers unofficially adopted the Black Sheep theme.

" We are little black sheep, that have lost our way, baa, baa, baa."

ISIS has taken responsibility for several attacks targeting Israel. What people ignore is the fact Hamas / Hezbollah are currently fighting ISIS in Syria / Iraq. They are sworn enemies and ISIS considers those 2 groups as infidels. Considering the difficulties of ISIS penetrating Israel it would be more difficult to just melt away in the west bank or gaza strip, especially with Hamas in control in gaza.

ISIS is occupied with trying to "retain control" of their non existent caliphate. There is no point in trying to drag Israel into the conflict at this time as it would only cause more issues for ISIS.

a reply to: flatbush71

I know the IAF is a very professional and effective force.
And I am sorry to hear it's getting bad again. Please stay safe.

Ya but targeting info takes time
this was pre-meditated,and the targets pre-determined
There is no way Syria attacked Israel with a few mortar rounds, zero chance
Yet again another piece of evidence the west intends on preserving their ISIS to further attack Syria.

Except for the fact its not the first time Syria has fired on Israeli positions.

a reply to: Xcathdra
in your mind they have
But drawing on the most basic faculties of thought,Syria has nothing to gain by attacking Israel.

They also fund Hamas / Hezbollah and Syria doesn't recognize Israel as a nation. Since Israel has hit Syria several times over the years for shipping weapons to the Hamas / Hezbollah terror groups they also had their nuke weapons program hit by Israel.

With Russia running interference for the Syrian military I can see Syria acting like they have a pair and attacking Israeli positions.
