Innocent Bystander in Tough Neighbourhood...

... strikes again, and again, and again, and again, and again [...]:

"Providing the most specific details yet on Israel's ongoing series of military strikes inside war-torn Syria, Air Force Chief Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel revealed today that Israel has carried out nearly 100 distinct military actions over the last five years specifically related to what they believed were Hezbollah-bound arms convoys." (Air Force chief: Israel has attacked Syrian arms convoys nearly 100 times in 5 years, Jason Ditz, antiwar.com, 16/8/17)

It is quite clear that Israeli support for "rebels" in Syria goes well beyond the "Hezbollah convoys". Several sources, including the UN, state that Israel is providing "humanitarian" support to "rebels" in the vicinity of the occupied Golan Heights. Additionally, on many occasions, rockets are fired from Syrian territory into Israel and then Israel sends planes in to attack a Syrian Army position beyond the ceasefire line. It is difficult to believe that these rockets emanate from pro-Syrian forces. It is also difficult to believe that the IDF is not aware of that.

Nasrallah always sounds so rational, diplomatic, and civilized compared with the leaders of Israel and the West.
