Early on February 24, a new wave of Israeli strikes targeted military positions in the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus.
“At around 1:10 of today’s morning, the Israeli enemy carried out an aerial attack with a salvo of missiles from the north of Lake Tiberias, targeting some positions in the outskirts of the city of Damascus. Our air defenses confronted the aggression’s missiles and shot down most of them,” a military official told the Syrian Arab News Agency.
According to the unnamed official, three Syrian service members were killed in the strikes. Pro-government activists revealed that the casualties were serving in the ranks of the Air Force Intelligence Directorate.
One of the targets of the strikes was reportedly Damarcus International Airport. This is yet to confirmed, however. Israeli targeted the airport on several occasions in the past, supposedly to destroy Iranian weapons shipments en-route to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
This was Israel’s fourth attack on Syria in February. The most recent attack, which took place on the 23rd of the month, targeted two military observation posts in the southern governorate of al-Quneitra.
By intensifying its attack on Syria, Israel is trying to mount more pressure on Damascus and its allies, namely Iran. Tel Aviv hopes that its military pressure will eventually push Iranian forces out from the war-torn country. Nevertheless, there are no signs of this happening any time soon.
I hope Syria responds to this. Apparently Russia has give Syria the green light to use any means to liberate golan. This may include activating the s-400
Golan is an unimportant place.
Not so. Israel has long claimed it cannot leave Golan for strategic military reasons, and yes, it means an artillery height that threatens a regional area of Israel, but the real reason is that over 10% of Israel’s water is sourced direct from Golan. Israel is a marginal strip of territory with very few natural resources. This is why Israel has long plotted to expand their border lines to snatch the south Lebanese Litani River.
Israel has more to earn from capturing West Bank rather than Golan.

I make more then $12,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 11 to 12 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it… GOOD LUCK…..https://ᴡᴡᴡ.ᴡᴏʀᴋꜱᴄʟɪᴄᴋ.ᴄᴏᴍ
All good, nothing to see here. Israel can do whatever she wants…
so, it’s a “she”, because it’s a whore? …
Yes. The great whore who sits on many waters who will be destroyed by God’s wrath.
This is New York.
Really? Is that why a multitude of Jewish lobby groups spend vast amounts of time and money trying to redeem Israel’s pariah international mage, by trolling online, and threatening legal action, left right and center? LOL
Every fucking time…
Pretty soon it will be Israel’s turn to get the Ukraine treatment. Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, Iraqi Kata’ ib Hezbollah, the Houthis and many others are just itching for the ALL GO sign.
Yes, because Russia supports only Syria not Houthis or Hezbollah or Iran.
Russian Spetnaz in Syria are close with Hezbollah
Why do you say so?
I wish that were true but think you’re full of shit. Lay off the happy drugs.
With Russia swatting UKnazis. IsraHelli Squatters again reveal their despicable traits
And they have condemned the russian assault in Ukraine. Sic! These shlomos have no decency left.
Their time will come.
We need de-escalation now.
can be turkey knocked out from nato by simultaneous attacks by russia and iran … if not what could save syria…if yes what could save israel…
It would be nice if Putin recognizes and talks about the Israeli interference and aid given to Ukraine. That goes for the little Pasha as well. Both were instrumental in arming and politically defending Ukraines crimes. The Pasha’s bayraktars seem to have run into missiles and fell from the skies. Hopefully, when Russia hit Kiev airport, that Turk heavy lift plane which was supplying weapons, burned.
They never miss an opportunity to kill some people…
