UPI.com (http://bit.ly/ZRYJeV) is reporting that the Israeli jets flew over President Bashar Assad’s palace en route to their target, drawing fire from a Syrian defense battery, but sustained no damage.
A video posted by Free Syrian Army rebels showed smoke rising from the chemical weapons site.
There have been no reports of casualties or the extent of the damage.
Neither Israeli nor Damascus has commented on the report.
Looks like a fully loaded F-16…
I would get a hernia lifting that load, GO GO GO IAF
Next stop, Tehran.
I’d like to see one of our gedolai Torah call for a day of tefillah in support of the IDF. I’d like to see one of our gedolai Torah tell his avreichim “dedicate your learning today to our brave soldiers.”
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if an entire class of young bochrim would learn a sefer Mishnah and dedicate the siyum to wounded soldiers?
These acts would go much farther toward earning the public’s support than the current strategy, which only alienates the frum communities.
