It's important to note this isn't unusual or anything necessarily to do with Biden. Israel bombs Syria every week. This has been going on for years. You just don't hear about it because the media won't report it. See above videos for more.
Oh btw you know the US pays for this, yes? Israel receives $3.8 billion/year in military aid, that's from Obama/Biden's 10 year package from 2016– the largest one to date. Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of US foreign assistance since WWII fas.org/sgp/crs/mideas…
Update: According to Syrian military source, israeli strikes came from direction of Tripoli, Lebanon (israel constantly violates Lebanese air space). Rocket bursts were fired with most intercepted by the air defence systems.
Israel usually doesn't comment on strikes, assassinations, and other various crimes. They have however publicly acknowledge bombing Syria hundreds of times and giving support to Al Qaeda fighters inside Syria.
Again, necessary viewing:

Indeed. A lot of this weird stuff I see in the US is so far removed from the original Christian faith and how it's practiced in the Levant, where it originated.
i.e. someone on cable yesterday rambling on about how Mike Pence is a "religious man"... okay. Lol.
I meant e.g.*
Another funny one is Rubio. He's so concerned about protecting Syrian & Iraqi Christians he wants to keep us under occupation...? Nah, we're doing fine actually if you just leave us alone lol. The man seems to be very confused
During 2005, US and coalition forces killed an average of 1-2 Iraqi civilians every single day. We know this thanks to Chelsea Manning @xychelsea@wikileaks and @iraqbodycount. This is why Julian Assange is in prison.
Keep in mind this is just 1-2 civilians in EOF incidents. The real, total figure of civilian casualties is undoubtedly much higher.
"US Marines fired 30 rounds at a vehicle that broke a “no penetration line” while approaching their post. The vehicle contained a family of a father, mother and four daughters. The mother was killed, while the father and 3 of the kids sustained injuries."
It's bewildering how US lawmakers are able to rightfully point out and criticise white supremacy and violent insurrections at home but not when their party colleagues do it to other countries, and perpetuate never-ending conflict and misery. Staggering hypocrisy.
LIVE: Julian Assange’s bail hearing to begin shortly at Westminster Magistrates Court in London.
Live updates below:
Connected via remote video with other journos and currently waiting.
Judge Vanessa Baraitser ruled against extradition on Monday, citing Julian's health and brutal prison conditions in the US under Special Administrative Measures (SAMs). His defence team opted to make the bail application today instead of rushing it.
Connected to video platform with other journos, just getting things setup. Keep your fingers crossed for Julian.
Again, I can't overstate the importance of this case. The US is attempting to extra-territorialize its draconian espionage act, trash its own 1st amendment, and bully a journalist who is not American or broken a law in the US, because he exposed their crimes against humanity.
AOC appears not to vote for Pelosi, but does not vote present either. Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Presley vote for Pelosi.
Well, it's an improvement, we'll start there.
We've heard the whole time that the strategy is: get more progressives in office so they have more leverage in Congress. Okay. Shouldn't they have demanded something from Pelosi then and voted as one cohesive bloc? I'm not seeing it.
