Syria war 2.0 : Israel wants WAR

Source

In a very rare move Israel just confirmed that it is targeting Iranian bases in Syria now. Israel warned Syria not to retaliate. All over the Damascus and it’s western cities Syrian air defence systems are very active today. There are reports that Syrian Mezzah airbase has been hit by Israeli missiles. That's a base for Assad's Republican Guard, one of his two praetorian divisions.

Iran has fried at least 20 missile towards Israel over Occupied Golan Heights from its Syrian bases.

Update 1: Hezbollah-connected @AFP news over 20 rockets fired at 10 targets in four major Israeli military centers. It says targets were in "Northern occupied Palestine," which is how it normally refers to Northern Israel -- not to the Golan Heights.

Israel's army said Thursday it had carried out widespread raids against Iranian targets in Syria overnight after rocket fire towards its forces which it blamed on Iran, marking a sharp escalation between the two enemies.
The incident came after weeks of rising tensions and followed US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from a key 2015 Iran nuclear deal on Tuesday, a move Israel had long advocated.
The raids were one of the largest Israeli military operations in recent years and the biggest such assault on Iranian targets, the military said.
"We hit nearly all the Iranian infrastructure in Syria," Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman told a security conference on Thursday morning.
"They need to remember the saying that if it rains on us, it'll storm on them. I hope we've finished this episode and everyone understood."
Israel carried out the raids after it said around 20 rockets, either Fajr or Grad type, were fired from Syria at its forces in the occupied Golan Heights at around midnight.

Update 4: Four loud booms heard in Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh - Reuters witnesses. Apparently these missiles were fired from Yemen. Probably some kind of coordination was done between the Yemeni, Syrian, and Iranian forces.
