Israel Does ISIS A Favor (Video)

Israel’s weekend helicopter attack in Syria, which killed five members of Hezbollah, including top leaders of their anti-ISIS movement, also killed an Iranian general, according to the Iranian media.

The slain Iranian had previously been reported as an “adviser,” but Iranian media today identified him as Gen. Mohammed Allahdadi, who was heading to Quneitra to inspect the defenses of the Assad government there Also among the slain were Mohammed Issa, the Hezbollah commander for all operations against ISIS and, perhaps most significantly, Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of a former Hezbollah military leader.

The attack is a serious blow to anti-ISIS operations in Syria, as the Assad government has increasingly relied on Hezbollah fighters, led by Issa, to resist the jihadists’ expansion deeper into their territory, and has sought Iranian expertise on defending their territory against offensives.

You gotta wonder why Israel isn’t attacking ISIS yet remain hostile towards Assad and Hezbollah when ISIS is obviously the bigger threat in the region.  There are many many claims that ISIS is nothing more than a western intelligence operation.  I’ve never took credence in the claims but sometimes under specific circumstances you can’t help but wonder.
