Israeli invasion of Syria

Rogue State.

Israeli warplanes have intensified an air offensive in Syria, striking hundreds of military targets and destroying entire squadrons of fighters, radar and missile systems, missile stores and much of the small Syrian navy.

The strikes came as Israeli troops consolidated their hold on a demilitarised zone in Syria east of the occupied Golan Heights and seized a strip of mountainous territory extending northwards.

Images from the Mediterranean port of Latakia posted on social media and broadcast by local TV networks showed the charred wreckage of at least six warships sunk or badly damaged.

Destroying the military of Syria will cripple the ability of a new government to defend the country.

Naturally, despite earlier denials, Israel has in fact done a ground invasion and seized swathes of territory outside of the buffer zone.

Israeli troops also now control a long stretch on the Syrian side facing Lebanon’s Rashaya region, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen TV, which has reporters in Syria. The new Israeli positions on the Syrian side of the 2,814-metre (9,000ft) Mount Hermon offer a prized vantage point.

And...what a surprise, they're basically never going to give that up either, calling it now. They'll use exactly the same argument about the necessity of holding strategic heights for defensive purposes that they originally used for the Golan Heights.

The Times of Israel reported that Israeli officials now considered void the agreement establishing the buffer zone, and that Israeli soldiers may end up holding their new positions inside Syria “for a long time, depending on the developments in the country”.

Israeli troops are within 25 miles of Damascus.

Israel will continue to invade Arab countries for the purpose of committing genocide for as long as Western countries back it.
