Watch Danni Danon's speech to the the Security Council - and note the amount of provocation Israel has so far endured from these savages without nuking them back to the Paleolithic.

"There are no civilians in Gaza. Haven't you all figured that out yet? You think they don't know when Hamas gunmen are among them? They know them all. They grew up with them. They aren't unwitting human shields. They're volunteers. "

I think they support Hamas 100% by principle no matter what, unified in their hatred for Israel, the west, and who knows who else. They are born into it, rewarded for it, which makes it harder for some westerners to understand or believe it. My guess or by observation is this level of hatred isn't practically curable.

Inside Israel’s Commando Raid On Iran’s Underground Missile Factory In Syria

New details and footage are coming to light from one of Israel's most high-risk and complex commando operations ever.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense has released details — and imagery — of a dramatic commando raid into Syria, which targeted an underground missile production facility, back in September. The raid, codenamed Operation Many Ways, was deemed an outstanding success, with the facility destroyed and none of the 120 Israeli special forces troops involved being injured. Until now, however, very few details of how the raid took place had emerged.

The raid was carried out on Sept. 8 by members of the Israeli Air Force (IAF), specifically its elite Shaldag unit and Unit 669. Shaldag is a clandestine outfit that specializes in long-range penetration operations, including commando-style raids. Unit 669 is tasked primarily with combat search and rescue (CSAR), a key requirement of missions carried out in or close to hostile territory...

I can only imagine the intel windfall that was recovered there.
Even though the Israeli's struck a number of Syrian military and government sites, the flip-side is the loss of intel that was available. I get it, sometimes you just have to eliminate that spot when the opportunity presents itself but, who knows how much could've been harvested and reveled.

There’s video of IDF troops rifling through paperwork at the facility- I’m sure they didn’t leave completely empty handed.

Sigmund, thanks for posting the linked article. Lots of good information!

Thanks for posting enough of the article that we know what it’s about. And a link for those that want to read the entire article.

You have good editing skills Sigmund.

I read about the Houhti situation in Yeman, it turns out Israel is having a harder time suppressing those bastards compared to their more local fights with Hamas and Hezbollah. With the distance of about 1,200 miles, limited intelligence, and difficulty of mounting operations at a distance, combined with lack of help from local partners and allies in coordinated operations against the Houthis, knocking those enemies back will be more difficult. From what I understand after our new POTUS gets things set up at home, at that time the US and possibly other Western allies will join forces to start working on the Houthi problem.

I didn't realize this problem of distance, comparatively limited intelligence, and lack of support from partners and allies was the reason the Houthis are still firing on Israel after crippling both Hamas and Hezbollah. I'm sure most of you guys already knew that, but I didn't. I just thought the Houthis were crazy, but now I know they're just like any other bully, they just need a good ass kicking before they think twice before pushing more buttons.

Israel needs a couple of aircraft carriers.

Too bad they don't have a friend with aircraft carriers in the area.

^^^^^^they will in a couple of weeks
