Israeli Strike On Syria This Week Targeted Syrian And Iranian Technical Experts In Drone Manufacturing

Jerusalem Post/Reuters: Rocket strike in Damascus hit Iranian military sites, experts, sources say 

A rocket attack in Damascus on Sunday that Syria blamed on Israel hit an installation where Iranian officials were meeting to advance programs to develop drone or missile capabilities of Tehran's allies in Syria, sources told Reuters. 

Iran has been a major backer of President Bashar al-Assad during Syria's nearly 12-year conflict. Its support for Damascus and the Lebanese group Hezbollah has drawn regular Israeli air strikes meant to curb Tehran's extraterritorial military power. 

A source close to the Syrian government with knowledge of Sunday's strike and its target said it hit a gathering of Syrian and Iranian technical experts in drone manufacturing, though he said no top-level Iranian was killed.

Iran is a nation at peace being attacked by an aggressor. Time for serious sanctions against Israel and weapons delivery to Iran.

All aggressor states are terrorist states.

Same way the Us has taken over Ukraine and threatened Russia weekly? Many parallels to be had with that here. You just justified Russias special operation in Ukraine

Very much so. Same thing: spheres of influence. Problem today, unlike the Cold War, these are not established or the obvious ones are not respected.

Nice Russian trolls replying to other Russian trolls to try to make it look like a legit convo.

Only trolls who have no intelligent or meaningful responses call others trolls. Ironically the vast majority of those trolls have ideologies that align with western liberals, progressives and Nazis. Now say something intelligent or go find a bridge in Detroit or shit-hole Chicago to hide under.

The Russians were on Facebook on 2016 for the election. A popular site like WNU with its topic s covered is bound to have resident trolls from St Petersburg.

TY for your prompt response. You stepped right into it.

I’m a U.S. veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, and live and work in Alberta. I know and understand that Russians are human like you you and I, and have security concerns that they are worried about. I used to hate the Russians, we called our plastic target silhouettes Ivan’s in training. When my government and countrymen started calling me the enemy for being a straight, white, conservative male, I began to look elsewhere for reprieve. Russia stands up for itself, and today is more supportive of people like me than than the country I spent seven years of my life fighting for, And I don’t even speak Russian! We are very broken here, and very divided russia is a more admirable nation than ours, and I would gladly fight for them if it means citizenship: I am far from alone in this thinking, there are many in Canada and the United States who have become disenfranchised like myself.
