In a dramatic escalation, the Israeli Air Force has carried out over 250 airstrikes in Syria within 48 hours, effectively dismantling the country’s former Navy, Air Force, and chemical weapons facilities. The strikes come amid as U.S. bombers deployed more than 140 satellite-guided bombs against ISIS, with officials from both nations citing the grounding of Russia’s air force as a strategic window of opportunity.
Israeli operations have targeted key infrastructure, including three major airports, military and intelligence headquarters, ammunition depots, and chemical weapons production sites. These actions aim to prevent advanced weapons and strategic facilities from falling into hostile hands.
Israeli forces report the destruction of dozens of helicopters and aircraft, emphasizing concerns over military assets potentially being seized by opposition groups.
The coordinated strikes by Israel and the U.S. highlight their intent to capitalize on Russia’s reduced air presence, ensuring regional stability and preventing further proliferation of advanced weaponry.

Just wondering how our new neighbours feel about the welcome to the neighbourhood party we are giving them… whilst I get the need, I still hope that whoever will set the tone there isn’t taking this personally! Not exactly the warmest start to a new relationship, is it?
THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN for acting forcefully and decisively in protecting American interests and those of Israel and the middle east. Thank you for IGNORING THE CALLS OF TRUMP AND VANCE to stay out of any intervention in Syria. America and the world is lucky that we still have leaders who active decisively. The isolationist approach of Trump / Vance is a danger to America and the world.
Why did israel not take the goodies for themselves. Baal tashchis
140 bombs? why didn’t they count the ounces? that’s like 10 or 20 sorties – not much for a contingent of 900 troops. and just one run for an old b-52.
now what about yemen?
@crazykanoiy indeed crazy to say that. Trump meant getting involved during the fight which was over Motzei Shabbos. Destroying chemical weapons up for grabs is after the fact. If Biden would have his way, Hizbulla would be left alone and Assad wod still be in power.
..so when I wants to, Israel can emasculate an entire country in hours, from the air, without losing 1 life…
Would it be fair to say they could have done the same thing in gaza/Lebanon by say Ocboter 10th of last year? Not sure why they have to send ground troops to the slaughter and allow the country to get wrecked for what is now 430 days or something? Am I missing something?
Oh, and something else, I never heard of Assad until now (excuse my ignorance). But apparently his military didn’t pose an existing threat for 50 years. All of a sudden, this al Jolani (Golani??) guy is at once hailed a saviour by CNN etc, but the west kinda don’t trust him like. I’m foncuzed here..
JPA: Trump said what he said. Stop denying it. In any case Vance repeated what Trump said after Assad fell. The America First Isolationist approach of Trump is a danger to us all. Hashem should have mercy on us.
crazy,
Get your facts straight.
The Syrian regime quickly collapsed once their Hezbollah allies were decimated by Israel. Brandon, the incontinent, useless turd you worship was livid when they finally attacked Lebanon and had no part in Assad’s downfall.
interesting that biden and friends are trying to take the credit. last time i checked, they were against israel attacking hezbollah, and in fact against israel entering rafah or even gaza altogether. they have blocked some supplies entirely and slow-walked others, while increasing the humanitarian aid that hamas could steal. the american forces inside syria barely did anything, so i have to wonder what help biden provided to the jihadist, al qaeda affiliated, hayat tahrir al-sham rebels?
