Wars & Rumors of Wars: Massive Explosion at Syrian Base, Israel Blamed


My Comment:  This is more rhetoric from the Syrian Opposition.  In the past Israel has stopped weapons movements or imminent threats to Israel.  While this is happening the back and forth continues, Assad blames the rebels and the rebels blame Assad, the Iranian UN Envoy is pushing for peace, Assad is pushing for the people to decide, and while I think that is necessary, I find it impossible to carry out.  Over 115,000  innocent people have lost their lives here.  And the number continues to rise.  Reinforcements for the rebels continue to come in, as well as aide.  And I think it has been proven that the rebels do not have the heart of the Syrian people in mind.  They have showed their zeal for an Islamic state, even instituting sharia law in rebel held areas.  This is not for the people that is clear.  Pray for the people of Syria.

(Israel National News)  There was a massive explosion early Thursday morning at an aerial defense base near the city of Latakia in northeastern Syria, Walla reports, based on reports from the Syrian opposition.

Opposition sources said the base, which held anti-aircraft missiles, was destroyed in the blast.

Sources in Syria and Lebanon blamed Israel for the strike. However, they offered alternate versions of events: while Syrian sources said the base was hit by a strike from at sea, Lebanese media outlets reported that Israeli planes were seen in the area before the blast.

Israel was widely assumed to be responsible for two airstrikes targeting Syrian weapons in May 2013.

An Israeli source confirmed that Israel bombed a shipment of “game changing” weapons headed for Hezbollah in early May. Israel was later accused of bombing the Jamraya research center in Damascus as well.

Israeli also implicitly confirmed it was behind an air strike in Syria in late January that targeted surface-to-air missiles and a military compound believed to house chemical agents.
