IDF Attacks in Syria Leave 21 Iranians Dead

As a follow up to yesterday's blog posting we are finding out that the attacks by Israel in Syria on Iranian targets have left 21 dead, most of them Iranians.

We wonder if the fiery Iranians will attempt to respond in kind?

We wonder if Russia will issue a more severe warning to Israel to stay out of Syria?

The death toll from Israel’s latest airstrikes on military targets in Syria rose from 11 to 21, according to a war monitor, as cited by the AFP news agency Tuesday. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights added that most of those killed were Iranians.

“There are 15 [non-Syrian] foreigners among the dead, including 12 from the Iranian forces. Six Syrians from the regime were also killed,” the head of the Observatory, Rami Abdel Rahman, told AFP.

Israel said that it stepped up its latest air barrage after an Iranian-made surface-to-surface missile was fired at Israel from Syria by members of Iranian Quds Force on Sunday even as skiers watched from below at the Mount Hermon resort on the Israeli side of the Golan Heights. The Israeli Iron Dome defense system intercepted the incoming missile.

The missile attack was itself a reprisal for a previous Israeli airstrike on the area near Damascus airport targeting Iranian military supplies.

The IDF said that the targets hit included Syrian-operated air defense systems and Iranian munitions depots, an intelligence site, and an Iranian-operated military training camp.

Don't worry about Israel.  They will continue to do what Israel does...defend Israeli interests.  At some point God himself is going to start fighting for them, like he did in the days of old.

Ezekiel 38  ²¹ I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man’s sword will be against his brother. ²² I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. ²³ And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’
