Netanyahu to Putin: Israeli airstrikes in Syria will continue

RT

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he has told Russian President Vladimir Putin that Israeli forces will continue airstrikes in Syria if they deem it necessary.

“If there is feasibility from an intelligence and military standpoint – we attack and so it will continue,” Netanyahu said during a visit to China, adding that he had informed Putin of Israel’s intentions.  

According to the Jerusalem Post, the Israeli PM also dismissed reports that Russia was insisting that Israel cease its military operations on Syrian territory.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry says that Moscow is relying on Israel keeping in line with agreements reached during Netanyahu’s state visit to Russia earlier this month, when he held extended discussions on Syria with President Vladimir Putin.

“We will judge not by their statements, but by their actions, to what extent our Israeli partners are sticking to these agreements,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow on Wednesday.

On Monday, Syrian President Bashar Assad told visiting Russian MPs that he is counting on Russia to prevent further Israeli attacks on Syrian soil and to help Damascus avoid a full-blown conflict with Tel Aviv.

The same day, Russia’s Foreign Ministry summoned the Israeli ambassador to Moscow, Gary Koren, to demand explanations for the airstrikes Israel conducted near the Syrian city of Palmyra on Friday morning. Israeli Defence Force (IDF) warplanes hit several targets near Palmyra, allegedly destroying advanced arms provided to the Lebanese militant movement Hezbollah.

Syria’s air defense force fired anti-aircraft missiles at the Israeli planes as they were returning to base. Syrian media reported that one plane was downed, while Israel denied any losses.

Israel also said that it shot down one of the interceptor missiles with its Arrow long-range SAMs, which saw the first-ever use of the system in battle.

After the incident, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman threatened that “next time, if the Syrian aerial defense apparatus acts against our planes, we will destroy it.”

In January, Damascus accused Tel Aviv of bombing the Mezzeh military airport west of the country’s capital. The airport was rocked by multiple explosions, with ambulances rushing to the scene.

The IDF has violated Syrian air space on a number of occasions, even before the conflict broke out in the country back in 2011.

Possibly the most infamous incident occurred in 2007 when an alleged Israeli raid destroyed a suspected nuclear reactor in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor governorate.

  1. “If there is feasibility from an intelligence and military standpoint – we attack and so it will continue,” Netanyahu said…”

    Sounds like a declaration of war to me.

    “We will judge not by their statements, but by their actions,…”

    Good call.

    The stinking jews are the biggest liars on the planet.

    What they say and what they do are two completely different scenarios.

  2. It is not the real Hebrew Jewish that are at fault, it is the Khazarians who adopted the Jewish religion to cover up their origins which was the worship of Baal. The “Jews” in charge of Israel’s government are of Khazarian heritage, the average people are blameless in the same way the average Americans are blameless for the actions of the lying corrupt officials within our government who work for themselves against our best interests. However, until we rise up as a country and demand our officials behave or be replaced, we have no right to criticize.

      1. Okay. Usually I don’t get mixed up in religion to much. I’m a firm believer in people believing in what they want to believe in.
        I’d just like to make a few clarifications about the ancient Hebrews if I may.
        First off, those ancient Hebrews who claimed to be prophets did nothing more than go to sleep, wake up in the morning and proceed to write down what they dreamed.
        Once those ancient Hebrew prophets wrote down what they dreamed, their dreams became scripture.
        There was even a point in Hebrew history where all the scriptures got lost. It doesn’t say how, but…lost it is.
        So along comes some Hebrew prophet (I can’t remember his name off the top of my head) and apparently, he knows all the Hebrew scriptures by heart and writes em all back down.
        I’m sure his memory was ok…I mean, if you can’t trust his memory, who’s memory can you trust?
        Certainly not my memory. I guarantee I won’t find his name on the internet. I’d have to go back home and look it up in a book.
        Anyways, the illusory jiggery pokery carried on to the point where the Hebrew prophets would declare that if the entire tribe heaped all their sins upon one goat and then cast that goat out into the landscape or throw it off a cliff, when that goat died, all their sins died with that goat.
        Hence the modern term “scapegoat.”
        Oh, and one more thing the crazy old Hebrews used to do….when the tribe would ask for proof of God’s word the cagey Hebrew prophets would throw a bunch of wooden tiles with written symbols on them into a box, stir em around, pull one out and declare that wooden tile God’s law.
        Which is basically the modern day equivalent of shaking a magic 8-ball.
        I”m not saying any of this to denigrate anyone’s religion or piss anyone off.
        This is just knowledge I have uncovered and I’m typing this so late at night most folks probably won’t read it anyways.
