Earlier in the day, Damascus International Airport was rocked by a major air strike. Israel later strongly hinted that it had carried out the attack.
Israel’s Minister of Intelligence Israel Katz told Israel Radio:
“We are acting to prevent the transfer of sophisticated weapons from Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon by Iran.
When we receive serious information about the intention to transfer weapons to Hezbollah, we will act. This incident is totally consistent with this policy.”
Syria had previously threatened that if Israel again attacked targets on Syrian soil, there would be a severe military response.
And now there has.
Late Thursday evening, an armed drone controlled either by the Syrian army or its allied Lebanese terrorist militia Hezbollah entered Israeli airspace.
Israeli forces fired a Patriot missile to intercept the drone before it could cause any damage.
It should be remembered that both Syria and Hezbollah are allied with Russia in their war against rebel forces.
While Israel is actively combatting Hezbollah and, when necessary, Syrian regime forces.
The fuse has been lit…
