Israel decided to take out a Syrian missile shipment to Hezb-allah
last Thursday. Syria did launch a number of anti-aircraft missiles at the elusive
IDF jets, but they all failed to hit a target.
The launching of missiles against Israeli aircraft carrying
out strike operations against arms deliveries (which are intended to be used against
Israel) to Hezb-allah saw Israeli Defence
Minister Avigdor Liberman issue a warning to Syria that the next time, they are
used, the IDF will destroy said missile sites.
A possible continuation of the above bunfight saw the IDF
take out Yasser Hussein al-Sayyid (A known Hezb-allah affiliate) in a targeted airstrike
as he drove from Damascus towards the Golan heights.

The recent ramping up of tensions around the Golan heights area by the likes of
Iran,
Hezb-allah, and
Syria with an aim to take the
region by force from Israel has seen Jerusalem ensure the message is sent that they will stamp down hard on those who claim to belong to the so called religion of peace.
