Throughout Obama’s war, now Trump’s, Israel colluded with Washington in waging naked aggression on sovereign Syria for regime change.
It’s been complicit with Washington, NATO, the Saudis, Qataris and Jordan in supplying ISIS and other terrorists with weapons, munitions, and other material support.
By its own admission, it conducted countless numbers of cross-border terror-bombing attacks – naked aggression by any standard.
Overnight Sunday, Israeli warplanes attacked a Syrian army position in western Hama, operating from Lebanese airspace. In a separate attack, Israel terror-bombed a Syrian government defense industry facility in al-Zawi.
On Tuesday, Israel downed a Syrian fighter aircraft operating in its own airspace while attacking US/NATO/Israeli supported ISIS terrorists in Daraa province near the border of illegally occupied Golan.
The Netanyahu regime lied claiming the Syrian aircraft entered Israeli airspace. The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) cited an unnamed military source debunking the Israeli Big Lie, saying:
“The Israeli enemy confirms its support for the armed terrorist groups and targets one of our warplanes, which was striking their groups in the area of Saida on the edge of the Yarmouk Valley in Syrian airspace.”
According to an unconfirmed report, Russia agreed not to interfere with Israeli military operations in Syria as long as its own personnel in the country aren’t attacked.
If true, Putin is siding with an enemy of regional peace and stability – a hostile Netanyahu regime, waging war on Syria without declaring it, wanting its government toppled, along with Washington, NATO and their rogue allies.
Israeli aggression against Syrian targets escalates conflict, putting resolution further out of reach than already.
