The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the Syrian airstrikes struck several areas near the border in Quneitra province, including the village of Jaba. The Local Coordination Committees activist group also reported government airstrikes.
The Observatory says heavy clashes were raging between the rebels and Syrian military in Jaba and the surrounding countryside.
White plumes of smoke set off by exploding mortar rounds could be seen on Thursday from the Israeli side of the Golan. The sound of small arms fire could be heard echoing in the background.
Lets hope they kill one another without shedding a drop of yiddish precious blood!
That is one humongous binocular.
I’ve got to say, there’s not a whole lot to chose from between them. On the one side, Dr Assad ‘s government, with Iran backing them; on the other side, the rebels, with ISIS/Al Qaeda backing them. Best possible outcome here would be if both sides killed each other off.
Funny, though, isn’t it. 200,000 people have died in this civil war dating back years, and the world lets out not a peep. 2000 Hamas die in Gaza in a conflict that they started, and the world is outraged.
I hope Israel is smart enough to cooperate and assist Assad in fighting Isis. Of course you can’t publicize it. But I hope its being done under the table. As bad as Assad is, he is not sucidial nor nearly as vicous as ISIS. These ISIS guys would have no probelm sending ten sucide bombers simuatanously to the Syrian Israeli broder and then right behind them 10,000 troops will storm Israel. I trembele thniking about how dangerous these guys are.
