Israeli forces also bomb weapons depots in southern Syria and the capital Damascus, Israeli media reports.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Benjamin Netanyahu! Thank you. Without Israel's massive military effort these last two months, Assad and Russia's military would still be in Syria. They are now fleeing. As Trump just said : It has weakened Russia. Good.

Assad was the last secular leader in the Arab world. He also protected Syria's Christian minority.
Now that Assad is gone, the Christians will be at the mercy of Islamists.
Thanks, Israel!

Good. Al JIHAD is not a good source for anything. But this is good news.

Israel’s job is to protect Israel. If it happens that they can also protect other people at the same time, that would be great, but sometimes that is not possible. I do notice that there are close to 2 billion Christians in this world - where are they when it comes to protecting their brethren in the Arab world? They’ve been notably absent for the past 40 years or so.
