The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder
Israel and Iran are edging dangerously close to a state of all-out war. On Sunday night, Israeli forces rained missiles down on Iranian forces based in the Damascus area “for nearly an hour”. According to the IDF, this was a response to “dozens” of missiles that were fired by Iranian forces in Syria toward targets in Israel earlier that day. The Israelis were able to intercept the Iranian missiles, but if any of them had gotten through they could have caused a tremendous amount of damage. Some of the missiles that Israel fired at the Iranians were reportedly intercepted, but quite a few of them did hit their intended targets. If the violence continues to escalate, we could potentially soon be talking about an all-out war between Israel and Iran in which both sides use their weapons of mass destruction.
The missile strikes against Iranian targets in Damascus made headlines all over the globe. According to Syrian state media, there were “consecutive waves of guided missiles”…
Syrian state media cited a Syrian military source as saying Israel launched an “intense attack through consecutive waves of guided missiles”, but that Syrian air defenses destroyed most of the “hostile targets”.
Witnesses in Damascus said loud explosions rang out in the night sky for nearly an hour.
The Syrians are boasting that they were able to destroy quite a few of the Israeli missiles, but independent observers confirm that quite a few Iranian targets were destroyed.
In the past, the Israelis have not always publicly acknowledged their attacks in Syria, but on Sunday night they released an immediate statement…
“We have started striking Iranian Quds targets in Syrian territory,” Israel’s military said in a statement.
“We warn the Syrian Armed Forces against attempting to harm Israeli forces or territory.”
You can see some footage of the missile strikes right here. Among the targets were “weapons warehouses at the Damascus International Airport”…
Targets striked by the IDF, which number at around 10 according to its statement, include weapons warehouses at the Damascus International Airport and in other locations, an Iranian intelligence site and an Iranian training camp in Syria’s south.
Now that the Iranians have been hit so hard, will they respond by striking back at Israel?
If both sides continue to escalate the violence, eventually a “point of no return” will be reached, and then all hell will break loose.
Prior to the IDF missile attacks on Iranian targets, rockets were fired toward the Golan Heights from inside Syria, and Israel blamed those attacks on the Iranians…
The Israeli military said earlier on Sunday that missiles fired toward the northern Golan Heights were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. It added in a statement on Monday that an Iranian force fired these missiles, but said it holds the Syrian regime responsible for any activity in its territory.
It seems extremely unlikely that this conflict will be resolved any time soon. The Iranians are certainly not going to leave Syria, and they are definitely going to continue to funnel arms and resources to Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon.
And the Israelis have clearly stated that they are going to resist any Iranian attempts to strengthen Hezbollah or to establish a permanent military presence inside Syria. In fact, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu couldn’t have been any clearer when he said this to reporters…
“We have a permanent policy, to strike at the Iranian entrenchment in Syria and hurt whoever tries to hurt us,”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
If a full-blown war erupts in the days ahead, Israel will almost certainly find itself fighting Iran, Syria and Hezbollah simultaneously. Of course Hezbollah is essentially an Iranian proxy, and at this point they have between 130,000 and 150,000 missiles aimed at Israel. When war finally comes, it will be extremely bloody and extremely destructive.
Tonight, we are closer to such a war than ever. The Iranians and the Israelis absolutely hate one another, and now they are firing missiles at one another.
It isn’t going to take much to push the two sides over the edge, and if that happens we are just a hop, a skip and a jump away from the start of World War 3.
Allow me to translate the article from jewfiction to truth:
Israel attacks Iranian forces in Syria FIRST in order to provoke a response which may or may not of happened, after all the jews claim they “shot down” all the missiles so we have no proof. Jews then launched a large bombardment into Syria in “response” to whatever BS they did first or invented in their heads.
Lets just look at this logically: Syria and their allies have WON THE WAR so what could they possibly gain by shooting at Israel? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The jews are fishing for war and this is a prime example!
Exactly. Interesting summary the other day, with a countdown; IN ABOUT 35 DAYS, the decision will be made whether to formally indict Netanyahu on charges, and THEREFORE, if it appears it will happen, he will attack Iran, in force, so that Amerika will be dragged in, thus hiding – and everyone forgetting – our ‘heroes and allies’ of Israel are nothing but a bunch of thieves.
YUP!!!
HD, Snyder is one of those Christian Zionist PRO israel fake news guys when it comes to israel. Most of us here at the trenches know this and have written him off as exactly what he is.
I’d think twice before sending articles in by him because he is extremely biased.
Wow! This article has “I love Zionism” written all over it.
The author seems to like to point out everything the Syrians and Iranians did but fail to mention what the Israelis most likely did first to provoke it. Very one sided article.
If, according to this author, I’m supposed to feel sorry for the Israelis, then it didn’t work. Sorry!
Vekar’s comment/synopsis above seems much more accurate.
Some time you have to see what other are saying to see what can and will happen . I think the USA in time will be used to fight there war again . history keeps repeating it self . And we keep being draw in . We have groups here doing more harm then good , every once in a while people need to see them . Israel Poking for a fight

Normally I would comment, but if Snyder is writing this, why bother? Everyone here knows how I feel about Snyder.
Why doesn’t this article mention the numerous times Israel attacked Syrian and Iranian targets in Syria? Or the help and weapons it gives to terrorist groups that slaughter thousands? Why does it paint Iran’s presence in Syria as a bad thing? Or its help for Hezbollah? And let’s think for a second about that one line, “all-out war between Israel and Iran in which both sides use their weapons of mass destruction”, really? Israel is the only parasite in the ME that has wmds, many in fact and doesn’t allow inspections like Iran did many times. Wow, this horseshit is why Americans are being dumbed down and taught to worship Israel and all its prostitute american politicians. And of course if Israel is attacked you can beg your sweet ass good ol uncle Sam will deliver many sacrificial goyim to protect it. On top of the annual billions of course.
