Here’s the Latest on Israel’s Reported Airstrike in Syria and What the U.S. Knew Beforehand
The New York Times and CNN are reporting that Israeli officials briefed the Obama administration before carrying out an airstrike Wednesday deep inside Syrian territory.
CNN’s Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr tweeted: “US official: Israel had warned the US and Russia it would strike weapons from Syria coming to Lebanon. US not surprised by Israeli attack.”
The New York Times on Thursday morning also spoke to U.S. officials who confirmed they had been notified by the Israelis about the intended attack.
Quoting Middle East and U.S. officials, media reports say the target was a convoy just outside Damascus carrying sophisticated antiaircraft weapons making its way to Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon.
But the Syrian Army in a statement Wednesday claimed Israel bombed a “scientific research center” in Jamraya, just northwest of Damascus.
The Wall Street Journal quotes a U.S. official who said the account of two separate targets hit, a weapons convoy and a military research center, weren’t mutually exclusive.
This would mark the first major Israeli military involvement in Syria since the bloody civil war began almost two years ago.
The Wall Street Journal and New York Times report the convoy included Russian-made SA-17 missiles bound for Iranian-backed Hezbollah, the Shiite terrorist group based in next-door Lebanon and a close ally of embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The New York Times explains why that weapon poses such a threat to Israel:
Hezbollah’s possession of such weapons would be a serious worry for the Israeli government, said Matthew Levitt, a former intelligence official who is at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
“Israel is able to fly reconnaissance flights over Lebanon with impunity right now,” Mr. Levitt said. “This could cut into its ability to conduct aerial intelligence. The passing along of weapons to Hezbollah by the regime is a real concern.”
Israel Army Radio interviewed officials Thursday morning who warned of the dangers should the present balance of power be altered. Were Hezbollah to obtain the ability to knock Israeli fighter jets out of the sky, that would be considered a game-changing battlefield shift.
Jonathan Spyer, a senior research fellow at the Center for Global Research in International Affairs in Israel told the Los Angeles Times: “The initial speculation was about chemical weapons, but Israel is deeply concerned about Hezbollah acquiring this kind of advanced antiaircraft missile.”
“It would transform Hezbollah’s game and potentially end Israel’s air superiority over Lebanon. This is entirely about Hezbollah, not about Syria,” Spyer added.
In December, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly held a secret meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah to discuss possibilities of how to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile. Both Israel and Jordan are concerned about the threats to their populations should non-conventional weapons fall in terrorist hands. Israeli media later confirmed the report which appeared originally in the Arabic paper Al Quds Al Arabi.
The Israeli government continues to maintain its silence about Wednesday’s airstrike, neither confirming nor denying it was involved, while U.S. officials will not comment on the record, referring questions to Israeli officials.
Earlier this week, Israeli media reported that there had been intense consultations regarding Syria, even while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was engaged in equally intense efforts to build his new government after last week’s elections.
Syria, Russia, and Hezbollah are condemning the attack. Calling the attack as one of “arrogance and aggression,” and “a flagrant breach of Syrian sovereignty and airspace,” the Syrian government denies the target was a convoy for Hezbollah’s benefit.
Russia – a close ally of embattled President Bashar Assad – issued a statement Thursday which read: “If this information is confirmed, this is an unprovoked attack on the territory of a sovereign nation, which blatantly violates the U.N. charter and is unacceptable and unjustified whatever its motives.” Russia adamantly opposes Western intervention in Syria.
Hezbollah issued a statement condemning the “Israeli attacks on the scientific research center in Syria,” adding “the attack is in line with Israel’s aggressive and criminal ways and was made in accordance to a policy which attempts to prevent any Arab or Muslim force to develop its military and technological capabilities.”
“An attack of any kind is a major escalation,” Timor Goksel, an American University in Beirut expert on Hezbollah told the Wall Street Journal. “Why would Israel do this out of the blue?” he asked.
On Sunday, Israel moved Iron Dome batteries to the north including to Israel’s third largest city Haifa, presumably to prepare for any potential Syrian or Hezbollah retaliation to its airstrike.
Israeli media report that thousands are arriving at gas-mask distribution centers to collect government-issued gas masks, nearly triple the amount reported last month.
Beyond that, Israelis continued their daily lives with no sense of panic being reported. Schools were open on Thursday, and Israelis went to work as usual.
Though Israel has mostly stood by silently while its northern neighbor has been engaged in conflict, in November Israeli forces fired at a Syrian army position after errant mortar shells from Syria landed on the Israeli side of the Golan Heights.
Even while it stands on the sidelines of its neighbor’s internal conflict, the threats to Israel are significant. This was driven home by an unconfirmed report in the Saudi paper Al-Watan on Thursday which quoted Syrian opposition sources who said that in early 2012, Syria had transferred about two tons of mustard gas to Hezbollah.
The paper also reported that Syria had transferred long-range missiles with a range of about 200 miles capable of carrying chemical warheads.

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 3:37pmInteresting situation developing on Israel’s northern border. Netanyahu clearly explained what Israel’s foreign policy is based off of when he addressed the UN. There are a few “red lines” that are critical to the security of Israel. There can be no compromises. Hezbollah gaining surface to air missiles from Syrian weapons caches was clearly one of those red lines.
There is no country in the world that faces a bigger security threat than Israel. They’re opposed by fanatics on every one of their borders. These fanatics don’t want much….just their all out annihilation for being born. supporting Israel is more than just support for a country in the right. Its the support of a principle. That even in the face of overwhelming hardship, numbers, and cruelty the few can stand against the many. Even though terrorists blow themselves up inside their children’s schools the Israelis stand where God told them to.

So you are admitting that you don’t want peace? After all, you see war as a means to make a profit so why not perpetuate the conflict? That of course has essentially been our policy since Israel was founded (with occasional exceptions). America has repeatedly meddled in the affairs of Israel with the result being escalation or extention of the conflict. When the PLO was broke and powerless in Tunisia Clinton came along and used Oslo to make them the recognized authority over a region they hadn’t been in for 25 years. When this newly formed PA continued to sponsor, endorse, and arm terrorists in violation of Oslo Israel’s hands were tied. And when Israel had an opportunity to wipe out Hamas for good they were pressured into a ceasefire.
Do you want to know the real reason the Liberty was attacked? Because it had been monitoring Israeli military broadcasts for the purpose of mapping their deployments and giving that information to Egypt. This was done to try and draw the war out and force israel to return the Sinai. You yourself once cited a letter for one of its crew. Didn’t he say that their mission was “military research” and that the most of the casualties occurred when a torpedo destroyed the research equipment. And the reason our planes were ordered not to help was because Israel had informed us of their intentions shortly before attacking.

That’s an easy one.. They’ve strong handed the US since creation stealing at lest 3 billion a year from the US tax payer and untold number of military bribes..
And lets not forget that 2.3 Trillion which Mr. Rumsfeld declared missing from the DoD on 9-10-2001 during his press conference.. Why doesn’t anyone ever talk about the missing 2.3 Trillion dollars in the Media? Is the investigation still on going?
Anyway who was the Rabbi working as Undersecertary of Defense at the time? I forget his name.. Did he just escape back to Israel or does he still reside in America? Wonder how many Billions or Trillions of dollars in military equipment did these monsters steal from the US and funnel into Israel?
Anyone else think that they should hang for their crime?
Imagine if all that money and equipment had gone to Palestine? Then we’d have us a fair fight.. But Israel is only interested in Genocide. First the Palestinians; then the Christians! ;)

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 11:05amIn the mind of a liberal “never confuse me with the facts, they are immaterial”.
All the Kurdish villages and the pictures of the dead Kurds in northern Iraq where Sadaam used chemical weapons (read weapons of mass destruction) on are proof of the WMD’s existence and Sadaam’s willingness to use them. He did that to his own people because they were resistant to his leadership. It would be like bho using chemical weapons on everyone here (the majority of us) who don’t like what he stands for.
The liberals are like those who deny the Holocaust of WWII by Hitler. The pictures of all the emaciated bodies stacked like cordwood, the crematoriums, the mass graves and the eyewitness reports are all evidence that they choose to ignore, i.e. don’t confuse me with the facts.

Who said anything about WMDs? The target was antiaircraft guns that were about to be given to terrorists. Explain how arming terrorists committed to destroying Israel is anything less than an act of war against Israel. The simple truth is that Israel has more than enough justification for openly waging war against both Syria and Iran even when one doesn’t include WMDs in the equation.

Look for Jordan to be next on the MB’s ‘target’ list if they have’t fomented ‘revolution’ there already.
The Israeli ‘attack’ may have very well been in alliance with Syria’s efforts to defeat the MB!

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 10:20amInfatuation? Whoa there lil hitler. Can you not comment on a Jewish or Israeli story? Can you punk? Was it 5 katusha rockets or 6 katusha rockets I fired punk? Lalalalalalalalala. Why do you care? It is none of your business. Nobody raped a barnyard animal and nobody blew up a vest on a bus. What is in it for you? All you say can be boiled down into wiki said lalalalalalalala.

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 10:50amFubard, I would love to be able to ignore stories about Jews, Israel, and Zionists. Problem is, there’s no balance. So, if I didn’t write, you Pavlovian sycophants wouldn’t know that there really is a real world living outside of your Israeli theology.

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 1:02pmHahahahahahahaha. And a second course of lalalalalalalala. We could tell you were a nazi on posts about women and people of color, it just really, truly shines through on your nazi blather over the Jews and Israel. Was is a flawed diamond a broker sold you or a gay soldier that rebuffed your ineffectual advances? It can’t be all adolph love unrequited. Lets chat about your zeal for the Jews and Israel and the smackdown the muslims get every time. So why did you drop the hole smackdown33 handle? We can handle the “truth”….or just merely scoff at your version of it.

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 6:53amMy only hope is that BiBI slays all of Obama’s Al Qaeda and Muslim brotherhood buddies in Syria.
You know, the guys who received the sophisticated arms we were shipping to them from Libyan ports?
The arms that resulted in the death of Ambassador Stevens, Smith, and heroes Woods and Doherty.
The arms that will be shipped to the USA via Mexico and begin downing US airliners this summer.

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 6:16amWhat does Russia have to say about all those hundreds of mortars that are lobbed into Israel every year?
Would they consider that am unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation also?

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 6:52am“Why would Israel do this out of the blue?”
Anyone who thinks this attack came out of the blue is uninformed in the extreme, or so brainwashed that they don’t recognize the provocations as such. I expect the latter. People who throw bombs at Israelis are “freedom fighters” after all…. nothing wrong with that, right? It’s not terrorism if they are attacking people we don’t like. ( we use that excuse ourselves : US drone strike on wedding party). We need to stop with the two sided definitions and say what we mean. Then the rest of the conversation will make more sense.

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 7:40amYou mean those litttle firecrackers the palestinian children throw every other month or so?
I would imagine that the Russians not controlled by deranged evangelicals and jews are probably more concerned with the Genocide in Palestine than they are with the firecrackers.

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 8:10amwow. that’s a pretty amazing statement.
you hear that Glenn? maybe you should tone down your pro israel propaganda a little or do you get bonuses from your puppeteers when your followers spout off something like that?
sort of like a NFL player when they reach a certain threshold for yds gained?
I’m sure your boyz did a backwards flip for statement.. They’ll probably give ole Glenn 10K of their reserve notes… lol

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 9:12amBehind, Israel and America have killed far more than the Syrians, Hezbollah and Iran combined. So, what’s your catchy term for us and Israel?

Posted on January 31, 2013 at 5:52amRussia said “If this information is confirmed, this is an unprovoked attack on the territory of a sovereign nation…”
Wow, they should really look back at their own history. Of course, they don’t care about the countries they attacked but still, wow.
