Syrian Army Warns Israel: ‘We Will Respond’ After IDF Bombs Syrian Military Airport, Killing Syrians
21st Century Wire says…
Yesterday afternoon, 21WIRE revealed that Israel had attacked its neighbor Syria – in an unprovoked act of aggression. As usual, total silence from the ‘international community’ – which only goes to prove that Israel is allowed to act outside of international law. By definition, this is a rogue state.
This reckless move by Israel will only inflame an already tense situation already involving a number of geopolitical players.
It’s also important to ask why Israel has launched this latest attack.
Was it to aid its terrorists cohort forces on the ground? This seems to be case…

Syrian state news agency SANA says Israeli jets have bombed the Mezzeh military airport west of Damascus, accusing Tel Aviv of supporting terrorism. The airport was rocked by multiple explosions, with ambulances rushing to the scene.

The Syrian Arab Army has warned that there will be repercussions for Israel for the “flagrant attack” on the military base, state TV said, citing a Syrian army command spokesman. It also linked the alleged strike to Israel’s “support of terrorist groups.”
The army said several missiles were fired at the Mezzeh airport’s compounds from the Lake Tiberias area in northern Israel at about 12am Friday. The strike reportedly damaged one of the compounds of the crucial military facility.
The Mezzeh airport is located west of Damascus, just 5 kilometers from the Presidential Palace, the official residence of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
There was no information on the death toll resulting from the airstrike immediately available. The base is reported to house Syria’s elite Republican Guards and Special Forces.

Footage from the scene with heavy fire and the sounds of explosions has surfaced on social media. Multiple reports from journalists and activists on the ground described the bombing, with the opposition also reporting there were rockets fired:
This is the second time in two months the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has being accused by the Syrian government of targeting Syrian positions from Israeli territory.

This article is so important – more than what Hollywood actors supports Trump. Trying to overthrow Syria for their benefit is a crime. Russia being disparaged suddenly because of their help to Syria is blatant. The recent bombing of the airport in Syria by Israel should be admonished by incoming administration. Lets hope it is America before Israel. No more support to Israel. No capital in Jerusalem. Support UN of denouncing settlements. Americans see that we are owed by Israel and sick of it.
