Syria: After IEDs found on Israeli border, IDF strikes Iranian targets

(Damascus)  Yesterday the IDF found explosives hidden next to the border fence with Syria, After they were defused, Israel stated it held Syria accountable and they would pay the price for allowing Iran to try and do as it pleases inside Syria.

We just exposed a number of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) near the Israeli side of the Alpha Line on the southern Golan Heights.

It has just been reported that the IDF carried out airstrikes on Iranian assets inside Syria. Hitting warehouses, HQs, military complexes and Surface-to-air missile batteries, and so it has been reported 3 terrorists have been killed

What Iran & Syria did: placed improvised explosive devices by the Alpha Line to hit Israeli troops.

What we did: just struck Iranian Quds Force & Syrian Armed Forces targets in Syria.

We stand prepared to operate against Iranian entrenchment in Syria.

Iraq: US has a CRAM fitted on the Roof of its Iraqi Embassy and it works

(Baghdad)  Islamic terrorists the world over love to play the victimcard by launching attacks on those who have offended them. In Iraq, the usual suspects have taken to lobbing missiles in the direction of the US embassy, The US used to this has fitted a Counter rockets and missiles battery (C-RAM) on the roof and last night it came out to play

The C-RAM is basically the Phalanx Gatling gun which was designed to shoot down anti-ship missiles at sea and it does that by firing 4500 20mm shells a minute,(That's 75 a second)  in which to use pure fire power to take out the target. After rocket and mortar attacks in Afghanistan became common place on Allied bases, some bright spark came up with the idea to defend the bases with such a weapon and in that roll it is very effective. (Thing is, in an urban area, what goes up must come down)
