Syria’s army said Israeli air strikes on Thursday killed two people at a military facility in the country’s west, a zone where the regime has been accused of developing chemical weapons.
The army statement said it took place near the town of Masyaf and warned against the “dangerous repercussions of this aggressive action to the security and stability of the region”.
An Israeli army spokeswoman earlier declined to discuss reports of a strike in Syria, saying the army does not comment on operational matters.
Israeli officials have in the past admitted that Israel has attacked weapons shipments bound for Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group, an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, without specifying which ones.
Amos Yadlin, a former head of Israeli military intelligence, tweeted that the reported attack was not routine and targeted a Syrian military scientific centre.

“The facility at Masyaf also produces chemical weapons and explosive barrels that have killed thousands of Syrian civilians,” Yadlin said in the tweet.
There was no independent confirmation that this was the target but the United Nations has said in the past that the Syrian government has carried out chemical weapons attacks, which Damascus denies.
Israeli officials have also previously said that Israel and Russia, another Assad ally, maintain regular contacts to coordinate military action in Syria.
Jets flying over Lebanon overnight broke the sound barrier and Lebanese media reported that some Israeli jets had breached Lebanese airspace.

Let’s see…..Russia was invited, and I believe Iran also.
Anybody else should be getting blown out of the sky, as their presence is in itself an act of war. All uninvited (Rothschild backed) countries should have their planes, and anything else, removed or destroyed, as would be done in their countries.
We weren’t invited, so we are an illegal foreign occupation. Somewhat like the Rothschild/UN’s foreign control of other countries.
NOT WANTED!
GET OUT!
Illegal occupation seems to be an Israel speciality. You’re right, they shouldn’t be there, nor any of their Rothschild stooges. But ya know, it happens time and again in the name of the NWO.
