Israel strikes at Quds Force rocket batteries
According to Reuters, Iranian Quds Force rocket batteries fired dozens of rockets at Israeli installations in Golan. The Israeli’s Iron Dome shot down about 20 of those rockets, other Iranian rockets fell short of their targets.
The Israelis responded to the attack by destroying all of the Iranian batteries in Syria;
It was the heaviest Israeli barrage in Syria since the start in 2011 of its civil war, in which Iranians, allied Shi’ite militias and Russian soldiers have deployed in support of President Bashar al-Assad.
Syria’s Army Command said three people were killed and two injured. A war monitor, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the strikes killed at least 23 military personnel, including Syrians and non-Syrians.
From USA Today;
Late Tuesday, Syrian state media said Israel struck a military outpost near the capital of Damascus. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the missiles targeted depots and rocket launchers that likely belonged to Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard, killing at least 15 people, eight of them Iranians.
Last month, an attack on Syria’s T4 air base in Homs province killed seven Iranian military personnel. On April 30, Israel was said to have struck government outposts in northern Syria, killing more than a dozen pro-government fighters, many of them Iranians.
From Haaretz;
The Israeli military accused the Revolutionary Guards’ Al Quds force and its commander, Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, of launching the attack at the Israeli Golan Heights. This is the first time Israel has directly accused Iran of firing toward Israeli territory…Russia’s Defense Ministry said that the Israeli strike on Syria used 28 planes, fired 70 missiles, adding that Syria shot down more than half of Israeli missiles.
Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Thursday morning that Israel has struck “all of the Iranian infrastructure in Syria.” Lieberman said that Israel does not seek escalation, but added that it won’t allow Iran to turn Syria into a “forward base” against Israel.
A spokesman from the Israeli Defense Forces claimed that it will take months for the Iranians in Syria to recover from the Israeli strike.

Mess with the bull, get the horns…
Word.
What part of NEVER AGAIN! do the mfers not understand.
NEVER AGAIN!
Barry and Kerry mourn.
Fucking around with Israel has never worked out for anybody since 1948. You would think they’d learn by now. Remember the definition of insanity?
Since when HASN’T Israel gracefully beaten the shit, piss and snot out of everyone who ever messed with her?
Then, after getting smacked back into yesterday, these people who started the problem will claim that Israel is “bullying” them. And far too many people either believe it, or at least pretend to believe it if they are heavily dependent on OPEC.
Rule # 1: Never piss off the State of Israel.
If you do, they will sneak into your home at night and kill everyone.
They will fly or drop in an assault force to take care of business.
Swap out your cell and replace it with a slave phone (with 3 oz of HE inserted) and then the Chief of Intelligence will call you with a sweet goodbye message.
Or they just might bomb the living hell out of you and or your country.

My favorite is dressing a couple of their commandos as females and killing PLO bigwigs in their own heavily guarded apartment building in Beirut.
They stopped at just rocket batteries in Syria? That sounds restrained.
Now turn the guns east and finish the job.

It’s like free drugs to a doper. I cannot not watch that. I even have taken to watching it in secret. It is the funniest video I have ever seen. The faces of the ‘students’ are perfect. O-Shag-Heenesee
The – don’t be silent!
If you haven’t already, watch the one they do about terrorists (“Terries”) on planes.
It’s their version of a TSA public service announcement.
Or the one they did on telemarketers.
KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Shack!

I think he did act with quite a bit of restraint. After all, he didn’t send any strikes against Iran’s nuclear reactor sites, did he?
So in their outrage over the US pulling out of the “deal” they show their intent to continue to abide by it by attacking Israel with rockets? They are clearly a peaceful people with nothing but the best intentions.
That and the obligatory US flag burning and “Death to America” chants in the Iranian Parliament.

*yawn*
Have the sanctions already started?
Looks like the members of parliament are having to resort to cardboard cutouts of the American flag instead of actual cloth flags.
Now, how about a salvo of diesel submarine launched cruise missiles into IRGC HQ…

Iran’s supreme leader has said he doesn’t “trust the UK” and that Donald Trump’s body “will be food for worms”.
Sorry Ali, money talks and bullshit walks. Put on your traveling sandals, you soon-to-be-broke sonofabitch.
Put a holah in the Ayatollah.

Weirdly, once again, the arsenal of cutting edge Russian air defense systems appear to have been
Rather impotent.
That little factoid has to be a part of the calculus of a whole bunch of folks who may have thought they were relatively safe.
Not hardly, Pilgrim.

Israel’s takedown of Iranian targets in Syria proves military, compared to Tehran’s, packs a powerful punch
Nothing new here save for the miscreants involved.
In the ’60 I served in the Peace Corps in Turkey (TEFL)and my roommate and I traveled to Israel. Syrians often fired rockets from the Golan in those days.
