Iran’s vassal-state Syria fires missiles into Golan, Israel attacks Syrian military targets near Damascus –

On Saturday Syria fired missiles into Israel. On Sunday Syria paid the price. Prior to the establishment of modern Israel, the Jewish people were voiceless, powerless, and defenseless: not anymore.

In an unusual statement issued Sunday morning, the IDF stated plainly that the IDF attacked several military targets in Syria “in response to the firing of two rockets from Syrian territory at Mt. Hermon in the northern Golan Heights.” One of the rockets landed in Israeli territory, according to the IDF.

“Israeli warplanes and combat helicopters attacked several military targets belonging to the Syrian army, including two artillery batteries, a number of observation and intelligence posts on the Golan Heights front, and an SA-2 air defense battery,” the IDF Spokesperson said.

“During the attack, an IDF air defense system was launched following Syrian anti-aircraft fire.

“The IDF views the Syrian regime as responsible for any action against Israel from Syrian territory and will act decisively against any action from its territory,” the statement continued.

“The IDF will continue to act against any attempt to harm the citizens of Israel and its territory and is obligated to protect the security of Israeli citizens,” the IDF Spokesperson said.
