  1. According to CNN and other sources, this is unconfirmed. However, Israel has been **temporarily** occupying the Golan Heights, due to Syrian troops withdrawing from their positions. Netanyahu responded to this by saying, “We will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on our border.” Which makes perfect sense seeing as the largest rebel group has had associations with Al-Qaeda (the terrorist group famously known for 9/11, for those who do not know). They have said they were “moving away” from Islamic extremism, but that’s also what the Taliban said, and look at Afghanistan now.

    As for them bombing Syria, yes they have. But not for “the funzies.” They have been bombing chemical weapons plants, bombs, weapons etc to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands, and attacking Israel. And like I said earlier, the largest rebel group has had associations with Al-Qaeda. Furthermore these groups could very well summgle these weapons to fund other wars in the middle east.

    Israel has every right to protect themselves from those Islamic extremists.

  2. I’ve already seen multiple videos of rebel group members saying that the Jews are next…why can’t there just be peace man

  3. The Less land and military hardware for Islamists and the Caliphate the better.

  7. I mean this isn’t any better than the Iranian revolution, replace a secular dictatorship with a theocracy instead, won’t improve anything, probably end up worse.

  8. Now that Asad is gone i feel like everyone there should gtfo. Syria should become a democracy, elect someone who can heal the country. But the way it is, it looks like they will lose their statehood. Looks very bad. The future looks bad.

  10. Fantastic move by Israel. This article has poor analysis, but clearly Israel is not going to let Assad’s weapons (including chemical weapons) fall into the hands of the rebels, which includes Al Qaeda types.

  12. “Israel acknowledged pushing into a buffer zone inside Syria following the overthrow of President Bashar Assad. But it remained unclear if its soldiers had gone beyond that area, which was established more than 50 years ago.”

    What a disingenuous article and headline. They’ve gone to the Syrian side of the buffer zone. It’s broadly in the direction of Damascus. The article itself has no basis to suggest soldiers have gone any deeper – just saying it’s possible in this way is an attempt to convince idiots who don’t read that Israel is somehow trying to march on Damascus. What a joke.

  13. Religion. This is the primary and continuing reason there are problems in the Middle East.

  14. And the USA has put out a list of conditions in order to recognize HTS as an “outreach”. Letting Bibi now invade Syria will certainly help with those outreach efforts /s
