Israel Attacks Iranian Targets Inside Syria
May 10, 2018
Israel said Thursday its fighter jets struck dozens of Iranian military targets inside of Syria overnight in response to rockets attacks by Iranian forces on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
The Israeli military said its airstrikes focused on intelligence sites, weapons storage and logistics centers, and that the jets also destroyed several Syrian air defense systems.
It also warned it would “not allow the Iranian threat to establish itself in Syria” and said Syria’s government will be held accountable for “everything happening in its territory.”
Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman told a security conference Israel struck “almost all the Iranian infrastructure in Syria.” He added, “I hope that we ended this chapter and that everyone understood.”
Iran is a Syrian ally, and its military has been supporting President Bashar al-Assad. https://www.voanews.com/a/iranian-forces-in-syria-shell-golan-bases-israel-says/4387087.html
Israel Launches Most Extensive Strike in Syria in Decades After Iranian Rocket Barrage
10 May 2018
Israel attacked dozens of Iranian targets in Syria in what the military said was the most extensive strike in the neighboring country in decades. The strike was carried out in response to a barrage of 20 rockets that were fired from Syria at Israeli military outposts.
The Israeli military accused the Revolutionary Guards’ Al Quds force and its commander, Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, of launching the attack at the Israeli Golan Heights. This is the first time Israel has directly accused Iran of firing toward Israeli territory. https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/syria/israel-launches-extensive-syria-strike-after-iranian-rocket-barrage-1.6073938

JERUSALEM — The Israeli military on Thursday said it attacked “dozens” of Iranian targets in neighboring Syria in response to an Iranian rocket barrage on Israeli positions in the Golan Heights. It was the most serious military confrontation between the two bitter enemies to date.
CBS News correspondent Seth Doane says the purported Iranian rocket attack on the Golan Heights was a potential game-changer. Israel says it was the first time Iran has ever directly targeted Israeli troops. Israel claims none of the 20 rockets made it into their territory; four were intercepted by the “Iron Dome” surface-to-air missile system the Jewish state has been strengthening to fend-off just such an attack.
Israel said the targets it hit inside Syria included weapons storage, logistics sites and intelligence centers used by elite Iranian forces. It also said it destroyed several Syrian air-defense systems after coming under heavy fire and that none of its warplanes was hit.
The blistering Israeli assault was by far the most intensive Israeli action in neighboring Syria since the civil war broke out there in 2011. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-says-iran-hit-in-syria-after-iranian-rockets-golan-heights-2018-5-10/

Speaking at the Herzliya Conference, an annual security gathering north of Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel would response fiercely to any further Iranian actions.
“We will not let Iran turn Syria into a forward base against Israel,” he said. “We, of course, struck almost all the Iranian infrastructure in Syria, and they need to remember this arrogance of theirs. If we get rain, they’ll get a flood. I hope that we ended this chapter and that everyone understood.” https://www.apnews.com/7d1eee2cecd84022bda61b7face61bf7/Israel-hits-dozens-of-Iranian-targets-in-Syria-after-barrage
JERUSALEM (AP) — Iranian forces based in Syria fired 20 rockets at Israeli front-line military positions in the Golan Heights early Thursday, the Israeli military said, triggering an Israeli reprisal and further escalating heightened tensions between the two bitter enemies in neighboring Syria.
The Israeli military said its Iron Dome rocket defense system intercepted some of the incoming projectiles, while others caused only minimal damage. There were no Israeli casualties.
Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, a military spokesman, said Iran’s Al Quds force had fired the rockets at several Israeli bases, though he would not say how Israel had determined the Iranian involvement. The incoming attack set off air raid sirens in the Israeli-controlled Golan. http://time.com/5272038/israel-accuses-iran-of-rocket-attack-on-golan/

An Iranian official denied Thursday that the Islamic Republic was behind an overnight barrage of missiles on Israel, saying it does not have military forces in Syria, despite the fact that Israel blamed Iran’s Revolutionary Guard for the attack.
“Iran does not have any connection to the missiles fired at Israel. If Iran did it we would have announced it immediately. When [ISIS] attacks Iranian targets in Syria we responded and made it known. Iran does not have any military presences in Syria and it was the Syrian army that fired missiles,” the deputy head of Iran’s national security council. …
A senior figure in Syria’s opposition told Haaretz that Israel is protecting its security interests by attacking Iranian targets in Syria and that from the political point of view, the reduction of Iran’s presence and influence in Syria will only accelerate a diplomatic, political proposal to end the war. …
This is the first time Israel directly accused Iran of firing towards Israeli territory. Tehran issued several threats over the past month, saying that it would hurt Israel in response to a slew of attacks that were ascribed to the Israeli air force. https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/diplomacy-cannot-help-iran-resistance-only-way-to-confront-enemies-1.6074513
So, Israel was hit by Iran from Syria REPORTEDLY FOR THE FIRST TIME, though Iran says it was not there. Israel further claims its Iron Dome prevented much damage, claims that it destroyed Iranian bases, says that Iran should not be arrogant, and claims that Israel can cause more damage if provoked by Iran.
According to Amir Toumaj with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Iran wants “to make Syria into a viable front … for both offensive and defense purposes, should another major war break out between Hezbollah and Israel” (Why Iran and Israel Are Attacking Each Other in Syria). Many believe Iran wants major conflict with Israel and has been preparing for it.
While Israel caused damage to Iranian installations in Syria, Israelis should consider that there is a prophecy that shows that God will remove protection from Judah and allow part of Jerusalem to suffer major damage from what appears to be an Iranian-Syrian coalition:
6 Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen, And Kir uncovered the shield. 7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots, And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. (Isaiah 22:6-9)
Elam seems to be a reference to at least some in Iran. Kir seems to have Syrian connections. The Bible tells of a time when Kir will be destroyed (Isaiah 15:1b) and also says that Syria’s capital Damascus will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1).
Notice the part in bold italics. Israel is trusting its armaments to protect it. Realize that Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ will NOT sufficiently protect it once God removes the protection of Judah (which the Jewish state represents).
Several days ago, before this attack from within Syria and Israel’s counter-attack, we put together the following related video:
Iran & Syria vs. Israel? Russia?
Could Iran and Syria combine to attack the state of Israel? The media has placed hopes on Russia to prevent such conflict. Some Protestant and Jewish sources point to Russia as an ally to Iran to invade Israel to fulfill Ezekiel 38. Can explanations based on Ezekiel 38 possibly come to pass before Jesus returns? How does it involve silver and gold? What does Ezekiel 38 really teach about its time period? Are there prophecies in Isaiah 22 that point to the possible destruction of part of Jerusalem by an alliance of Iran and Syria? What about Isaiah 17 and the destruction of Damascus? Could Jeremiah 49 be referring to destruction coming to Iran? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link to that video: Iran & Syria vs. Israel? Russia?
We are seeing military conflict between Iran & Syria vs. Israel.
