Syrian War Report – June 12, 2019: Israeli Military Continues Strikes On Syria

During the night of June 12, warplanes of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched a barrage of missiles at targets near Tell al-Hara in southern Syria. According to the Syrian state media, the IDF employed electronic warfare measures to suppress Syrian air defense systems. Despite this, at least some of the missiles were intercepted and the strike caused material damage only.

Tell al-Hara is known for being one of the positions of the Syrian Air Defense Forces in the area. Pro-Israeli sources as always speculate that the target of the attack were some ‘Iranian targets’.

The June 12 attack was the third Israeli strike on Syria in June. The previous strikes targeted the T4 airport on June 3 and Syrian Army positions east of the Golan Heights on June 2.

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Houras al-Din and their allies once again repelled an attack by the Syrian Army on their positions near Kbani in northern Lattakia. On June 11, pro-government troops, backed up by battle tanks, seized several points near the town and were about to enter it. However, by June 12, they had been forced to retreat suffering some casualties. According to pro-militant sources, at least 4 soldiers were killed.

Clashes also continued near Jubain and Tal Malah in northern Hama. Pro-government sources claim that the army had recently destroyed a vehicle and a battle tank belonging to militants in this area. Multiple foreign militants are now involved in the standoff against the Syrian Army there. For example, the Uzbek group Katibat al Tawhid wal Jihad linked with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham released a photo report with its members on the frontline.

Units of the Syrian Army repelled an attack by ISIS cells in the area east of Palmyra in the province of Homs. According to pro-government sources, the army eliminated at least 3 militants. Casualties among pro-government forces were also reported.

The desert area in the provinces of Homs and Deir Ezzor is flooded with ISIS cells. However, the complicated situation in northwestern Syria and the continuing security operations in southern Syria do not allow Damascus to allocate the necessary forces to deal with this threat right now.

Time to throw a couple of Missiles on the Negev Nuclear Research Center….Let’s get it over with…

Iran Syria must take the coordinates and bomb the shit out of devilish Israelis.Israel is nuclear armed but it’s nuclear sites are Vulnerable for attack. Because of this both USANato and Russia are always helping Israel because of safety concerns.

khalkha

Unfortunately, assad power and russians can only strike syrians , but you can continue dreaming ???, look at how many strikes against israel since seven years or even 47 years and compare how many against syrian insurgents . This is not a resistance axis definitively

JEWS & KNIGHTS TEMPLAR…. They operate together….Jews & the Dutch went East to Steal Spices & West to Trade Slaves….we made Fortunes together bro….

America, the “MASTERBLASTER” from the movie “Thunderdome” a giant moron ridden on and directed by Twisted Jewish Dwarves …….. If Israel can afford to send rockets to the moon (plus it has a $120+BILLION savings) why is America giving Israel WELFARE checks? Why is America taking dollars from poverty level, multi-job working Americans and GIVING the money to a Nuclear POWER? Where are the sanctions on Israel ??? In 2012 the Obama administration promulgated a gag order in the form of a secrecy classification guideline – WNP-136 (PDF) – banning all federal agency employees and contractors from discussing, writing about, or releasing government information about Israel’s nuclear weapons program. https://original.antiwar.com/smith-grant/2018/08/09/can-the-us-keep-lying-about-israels-nukes/ —————————————————- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSIpAPWEJFI National Press Club 2/27/2017 Senator Chuck Schumer admits to journalist Sam Husseini that Israel has nuclear weapons. Under the Arms Export Control Act, the U.S. may not provide foreign aid to countries outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) absent waivers and sanctions. Despite Israel’s status outside the NPT congress passes multi-billion dollar aid packages every year, which the president signs into law. Transcript follows: CH = Chuck Schumer, SH = Sam Husseini ————————————————- under the Symington Amendment to the Foreign Appropriations Act and the Glenn Act, it is illegal for the US Government to send our tax money to any nation in possession of nuclear weapons technology that refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or allow IAEA inspections. Symington Amendment: Since 1976, every single penny of “aid” to Israel money has been illegal; a crime committed by the US Government against the American people. all that money the US sends to Israel is a CRIME AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. ————————————————– The World should insist Israel live by the standards Israel demands of others. Be judged as Ye judge others. If Israel wants to be recognized, Israel must recognize the EQUALITY and HUMANITY of ALL People. Quit calling NON-Jews SHISKA, GOYIM, GENTILE. If Israel wants Hamas to ‘repudiate’ their charter, Israel must REPUDIATE their manual of hate, the TORAH, which openly proclaims that all ‘gentiles’ should be ‘Hewers of wood, and bearers of water’ …….. for Israel. Israel must recognize the Native People’s RIGHT to a Palestinian state. Israel REFUSES to sign the Non Proliferation Treaty or open It’s NUKES to inspection, Israel should have the exact same sanctions that were put on Iran

I have some sympathy for the Syrians – they’re in a difficult position. If they retaliate they risk bring down the entire might of the USA on their back, and Israel knows this and uses it with impunity. The houthis are in a different position where hell has already happened, and they have nothing to lose by attacking the KSA. If Israel decided to carpet-bomb Syria like the Saudis are doing in Yemen, then I expect that Israeli cities will burn.

Rhodium 10

all depends on what kind of weapons use SAA to retaliate…if SAA use Iranian cruise missile ( soumar copy of Kh-55) and the Russian Bastion P….then Israeli targets would be destroyed!

dutchnational

Suppose they are able to destroy the Center. It might mean radioactive fallout either going towards Cairo and Alexandria or towards Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and then on direction Beirut, Amman or Damascus. The attacker might cause many millions of arab casualties. And in case the casualties are mostly Iraeli, the Israelis will send some of their 200+ nucleair bombs to the suspects or will just retaliate at random.

So, imo, a stupid comment.

Hasbara Hunter

We’ll see what happens… but something is going to happen for sure on the Longer term..Believe me….many people are waking up…The Future of ISISraHell is a Grim one…

dutchnational

Telling that you are unable to dispute my comment other then we will see. That means you are endorsing my view that bombing the Center might mean killing millions of arabs.

I do not have real problems with that result if it is arabs bombing the center. But I think it is rather callous of you.

Hasbara Hunter

It was never my intention to dispute your Radioactive-Fall-Out-Theory nor Your Samson-Option….simply because it is a reality…

Israel is founded on Genocide and War Crimes so Humanity should wipe it out. I am offended when I see the “STAR of DEATH” displayed publicly. Judaism is neither a race or a religion, it is Xenophobic Tribalism. XENOPHOBIC: n.A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign, especially of strangers or foreign peoples. TRIBALISM: n. 1. The organization, culture, or beliefs of a tribe. 2. A strong feeling of identity with and loyalty to one’s tribe or group. For 3,500 years Israel has practiced eugenics …. Jewishness is based on: Jewish mother determines that you are Jewish …. Jewish father determines the Tribe (cohen, levite, dan, benjamin) They are a TRIBE …. a family based GANG. If you are not an active member you are NOT part of the GANG. No more than having a cousin in the Hell’s Angels makes YOU a Hell’s Angel. ALL people of Good Will should oppose the ORIGINAL nazis. Never FORGIVE, Never FORGET, the SHOAH of 1.5MILLION Armenian Christians under the crypto-Jewish “Young Turks” Never FORGIVE, Never FORGET, the SHOAH of 66MILLION Christians under the Jewish COMMUNIST Bolsheviks Never FORGIVE, Never FORGET the ongoing SHOAH of the PALESTINIANS. The sight of the “STAR of DEATH” sends a frightening and offensive message to ALL NON-Jews. Israel does not have a ‘right to exist”, because Israel is born of genocide and war crimes. The “STAR of DEATH” represents the ORIGINAL “Nazis”, the perpetrators and braggarts of the FIRST holocaust: FUNNY that everything they claim the nazis did is an EXACT COPY of what THEY BRAG about doing to the original PALESTINIANS. Deuteronomy 7:16, 20:16 “And thou shalt consume all the peoples which the Lord thy God shall deliver unto thee; thine eye shall not pity them…thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth.”

All of which Jesus – very God and very man – repudiated when he rebuked the Scribes, Pharisees, and Lawyers – scum who called themselves “government”. What is the tribe of Cohen you list? I am thinking of the twelve tribes, later with Levi assigned the priesthood and Joseph split into Manassah and Ephraim which kept twelve tribes. When God ordered the children of Israel to take the Promised Land, (1) the Canaanite’s “cup of iniquity” was full. They burned their children alive in sacrifice to idols, they were sexual perverts, and were oppressive, etc. Not good people hence not a stable civilization and not worth keeping. So the children of Israel get a shot at keeping God’s law. They also failed and were kicked out of the land in AD 70 with the destruction of Jerusalem and Masada and the temple. They, the barren fig tree, are no longer God’s chosen people. The Christian church is now and forever. I do not include cults and the Roman Catholic institution in the definition “Christian”. The fundamental aspect of Christianity is that all men have disobeyed God therefore all men deserve the wrath of God for eternity. No man can undo his past, therefore all men need a Redeemer, a Savior to rescue them from eternity in hell. Christianity doctrine alone is the elect are saved by the grace of God through faith in God and not by meritorious works. This boils down to three forces in the world: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Judaism (Zionist) and Islam both work to kill all Christians. From the shadows, the Zionists manipulate Muslims and other goyim to attack each other using the Muslims like rabid pit bulls.

Zaphod Braden

The Jew specializes in accusations of sexual depravity, in which the Jew engages. Jews are the biggest pornographers and pimps on earth. You forgot Hinduism(basis of Christianity) Buddha,Confusionism. Judaism Islam are Tribalism…..

David Parker

Neither Hinduism nor any other eastern mysticism is any “basis for Christianity”. Christianity is from day one, all by itself, worship of the only God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Nothing predates Christianity. A Christian is elect of God and has faith The Messiah, The Redeemer, is sufficient to pay for all sins of the elect. All who believed God’s promise of a Redeemer to Eve is Christian. Christianity does not depend on some hocus-pocus polytheistic system of works from the fevered minds of men for validity. Validity comes straight from God who created the earth, the universe, and all living things.

dutchnational

In fact, many theologians speak of judeo christian religion.The old jewis bible texts form the old Testament, a clear indication that Christianity is build upon judaism.

David Parker

In fact many theologians are not Christian and know nothing about the history of Christianity and conveniently forget that Jesus condemned the Jews: “You are of your father the devil” when they tried to say they were of Abraham. Christianity was a departure from what Judaism had become by the first century and it today. The holy book of today’s Jew – more properly Zionist – is the Talmud, not the Torah. Judaism today has nothing whatever to do with God but is all about being a master race and depopulating the world of all but Zionists.

The Palestinians have suffered 100 years of escalating misery. The UK Tory Party were the architects of the Jewish theft of Palestine. Genocidal scum starting with the likes of Bengurion through to Meyer, Sharon and Netanyahu were and are the evil terrorists leaders who have continued to carry out atrocities, ethnic cleansing and the almost total destruction of the former historic cities and villages of the land of Palestine.Today the UK Tory Party and the ‘Blairite faction of the Labour Party who have completely ignored the right’s of the Palestinians and are complicit in the seizure of the last remaining lands on the West Bank which the Jews are illegally occupying. Their greed knows no bounds. The only voice to defend the Palestinians is Jeremy Corbyn and for his views he is castigated for being a Anti- Semite.Their greed knows no bounds.The UN which has not lifted one finger to help the Palestinians it is totally controlled by the USA who are alway’s enthusiastic when it comes to the ethnic cleansing of indigenous populations and the theft of land. They were not satisfied with their land gains from the native Americans they went on to attack and occupy Texas, California and Hawai. On each occasion they used their age old ‘False Flag’ reasons which they and the UK have used throughout the Middle East. Nothing changes.Likewise with the Jews the West Bank is not the end of their biblical claims. I reckon Jordan will be the next soft target.

Palestinians? Phuck those filthy animals. and GFY

I wonder if really SAA knows how to use the S-300 system. I looks like the have not idea at all how to use it.

Astrid Watanabe

If I remember right, the Syrians need Russia’s ok to use the S-300 system. The Russians do not give their ok to use it against Israel because they have some kind of nonaggression agreement with them. I remember this only because someone wrote this in a comment.

Rhodium 10

I dont think so!..Russia fear that SAF are unskilled and not qualified to use it, and later to protect that system with a ring of Pantsir vs Israeli airstrike…these system are sofisticate and needed well trained crews, good command net, warning system and coodination

dutchnational

And that makes it true?

Kastaibes

If they used it, they will in three side war TERRORIST, US, and Israel. The only thing they can do it now focusing on their front first before they try to do something in their back.

Israel agenda is to weaken Syrian forces to avoid Retaliation and loosing occupied Golan heights.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

I think it’s time for Iran to test out those new anti aircraft missile systems they have in real time combat situations, send half a dozen batteries to Syria along with their fully trained operators, and then see if they’re effective at targeting and hitting Israeli warplanes, and if they are, send some more to Syria and train the Syrians how to use them too. I’m sure we were all hoping to see the mighty S-300 or S-400’s demonstrate their much acclaimed capabilities against the Israeli warplanes [that are supposedly radar deflective and have superior EW countermeasures], but sadly that’s looking less and less likely to happen, but perhaps the Iranians will lift everyone’s moral and do what the Russians haven’t yet, and that is to show the Israelis they don’t really have free reign to blow up Syrian or Iranian infrastructure in Syria [with complete impunity], by blowing a few Israeli jets out of the sky, that’d be a great morale booster as well as a future deterrent. Come on Iran, lets see what your new AA systems can do, the Israelis are getting way too obtrusive lately and it’s time they were taught some manners, and send some MANPADS as well, they might help on the odd occasion too.

RichardD

There’s enough fire power available.That if it’s brought to bear on tiny Israel. That the IDF as a functional fighting force can cease to exist in a few days with conventional weapons, and a few hours with nuclear weapons. And depending on the circumstances, there’s a real possibility that NATO, including the US, will stay out of it.

verner

yeah just one thing to do and that is to finish off the squatters once and for all. quick and brutal if need be or if they’re willing to go without too much prompting,there is a new diaspora awaiting them and in view of their atrocious behaviour towards the palestinians over the last 100 years, pogroms galore. there will be no peace for the squatters once they are dislocated.

RichardD

The first thing to do is to get a regional force in place that vastly outguns the IDF to the point where the US isn’t going to get involved. And then see how it plays out.

dutchnational

Israel has mid range missiles and does not even need an airforce to rain its nuclear bombs on its neighbours.

RichardD

That’s why a regional coalition needs to be put together to clear the blood sucking Jew pedophiles out of the occupied territories that they’re squatting on needs to be armed with nuclear weapons. So that if the baby rapers use their’s, they’ll get nuked in return and then disarmed so that they don’t use them again. Destroying the IDF includes destroying the launchers. Which the IDF obviously has no defense against. They can’t even stop Palestinian and Hezbollah rockets.

dutchnational

Phantasy, BS and racism seem to be your core values. I hope, well not really, you will not suffer the fate you are so eager to heap onto others.

RichardD

What you lie about and what you can prove are diametrically opposed. You’ve disproven nothing that I’ve written. You haven’t even tried. Because we both know that you’re a liar and a blood sucking Jew pedophile supporter.

RichardD

Everyone knows that you’re a lying two faced evil Jew pedophile supporter. And that raping children, sucking their blood from their bleeding sexual organs, infecting them with venereal disease, and murdering them during depraved Jew rituals is what you’re into.

cechas vodobenikov

u r aware of reality; it is phantasy to believe Israel can be defeated. their neighbors are all consumed by internal problems and conflicts—Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan…the Palestinians have been abandoned by Jordan and Egypt. Israel has benefited from the internecine conflicts that fragment the Palestinians, especially the incapacity of the PA and Hamas to creat a unified political position

Just put the money where your mouth is and declare war on israel already..attack themm and see what happens..dont just speculate fantasize..just go do it..IRan chants death to israel..well just go bring death to them and ask Putin and Xi for back up..go and do it. Or i have a better ideanfor Palestine…form a parliament..elect your officials..dont let Hamaz assinate your own people.. and get on with helping your people prosper..stop obsessing about the Jews..use the foreign aid for actually improving infrastructure..that would be a change wouldnt it. Dont throw shit at the jews and they dont hit back..thats it..The countries that have really propered the last 60 years have actually stopped obsessing about religion and ideology and just got on with it and brought prosperity for their people without sacrificing their chosen positical system or culture..china vietnam south korea japan singapore malaysia indonesia thailand saudi arabia dubai qatar philipines..the list goes on and on..the jews dun do shit to any of them..not because they are far away becaue many middle east countries are very prosperous and still very traditional..you wanna know why the jews dun bother themm..cuz they dun bother the jews..thats it..get that tin foil hat off…but if the victim narative is so valuable to hamaz for continuous power..then palestine will unfortunately be stuck in this grid lock in expense of its own progress for many many decades to come..while the world progresses on..and you can chant bad bad jew bad bad US for the next 100 years while the rest of the world whether friendly or infriendly to the US have moved on and progressed even further.

In our Kaftatesque world, War Criminals Bibi/Bush/Blair/Chumpinstein Bin Moron/MBS are celebrities but, innocent people like Julian Assange are punitively silenced using EXTRADITION/RENDITION= same

https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/520385890c3193493e0d6d9cdd2a16b0b6f2c75cead6eea8d78719b5f291471e.jpg

martin clarke

Fully agree with you Cheryl . I’ve had a job sleeping at night lately. Julian Assange has been on my mind day and Night. I keep hearing Colonialist twats like Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid making light of Julian Assange being extradited to the USA. How any government could contemplate that a fair trial could be held in the USA is beyond belief. Yemini prisoners that have not even been charged with any offence have been held for up to 14 years in that Cuban ‘Hellhole’ without trial.Coupled to this is the fact that his life has been openly threatened by Senators and influencial Corporate scum. None of those have been charged with the death threats they have made. It would seem that the veil of impunity covers International Lawbreakers and War Criminals alike. I felt somewhat relieved yesterday when the news came through that the extradition hearing would be next February. Obviously the UK government have intervened fearing an extradition now could affect any possible voting results. We should be redoubling our endeavours by forming a photograph list of all who have had a hand in the current demise of Julian. Folk who have called Julian a coward and a narcissus, folk who have submitted ‘False Flag’ evidence against him. The list could start with David Cameron, Teresa May, Amber Rudd and her Attorney General Partner who cleared the way originally for the extradition. The Judges who both made derogatory remarks about Julian at his two hearings, the second one who made a speech that had obviously been prepared beforehand. Some chance of justice. More recently the two ‘Colonialist Twat’s’ Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid have weighed in with their dismissive remarks uttered with an almost ‘Air of Delight’. The Daily Mail is the propaganda wing of the Conservative party, their journalist’s across the board have made incessant attacks on Julian Assange. They know that if he is sent to the USA it will be the end of his life. The main attacks come from Andrew Pearce, several times he has referred to Julian as a coward who ought to ‘Man Up’ and face the ‘Trumped Up’ charges in the USA. He is an obnoxious piece of scum who is not fit to lick Julians boot’s. Personally I would like boycott the Daily Mail but I need to study what the enemies next moves are. These folk cannot be allowed to get away with stifling the truth that Julian has exposed. They are traitors to International Laws and Justice. The world needs to know that these cretin’s support Ethnic Cleansing,Rendition, Torture and Illegal attacks on Sovereign States. Furthermore they and their government’s have not pursued any of the felon’s involved in the atrocities that Julian has exposed.Could someone with like views make posters of the persecutors which could be circulated internationally. I myself am not capable of doing it but would certainly like to distribute them.

martin clarke

I agree with Cheryl Brandons views on Julian Assanges innocence. It will be a crime that we are all partially responsible for if he is extradited to that ‘Hellhole’ of injustice which goes under the name of the USA. We should be having massive demonstrations of support for his release in all countries. The restrictions that have been adopted by most Western governments of limited numbers at demonstrations and of the ‘Kettling’ policies where protestors are corralled into restricted movement away from the administration centres have had a huge negative effect on the successful outcome of these events. Never the less we need to break the pattern of impunity that Western governments have hidden behind whilst they carry out illegal acts of Genocidal attacks and torture on sovereign countries with a view to regime change. The British Conservative government and the USA are the main culprits in these atrocities, that is why they want to silence Julian Assange and to give a message to all that any who expose these illegal acts will face a fate worse than death including torture and solitary confinement. The ball is in the UK court, a court where Julian Assange has appeared twice and where on both occasions the Judges have already made disparaging remarks about his character with the second judge rambling on with a prepared speech. This does not give an indication for an impartial future judgement. Amber Rudd and her Attorney General friend went to great pains to clear the way for Assanges early extradition. Since then the Tory Cabinet in general have castigated Assange at every opportunity. Two of the main attackers are Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid. The Daily Mail which seems to be acting as the propaganda wing of the Conservative Party has conducted a massive onslaught of insults against Julian saying he ought to ‘Man Up’ and face the US military styled courts. Andrew Pearce of the Mail labelled Julian a coward. History will show the names of folk who persecuted ‘The Barer of Truth.
