Israel is bombing Syria's capital Damascus right now, violating Lebanese airspace to do it; Syrian air defence systems are responding. This is such a common occurrence (virtually every week) the media can't be bothered to mention it half the time.
The israelis and their media lapdogs think that if they keep screaming it's "Hezbollah and Iranian targets!" then that suddenly makes it okay for them to bomb anyone they like. This is just propaganda by oppressors and colonizers. Their goal is to keep Syria unstable.
By their own admissions, the israelis have bombed Syria hundreds of times in the last years since the war began in 2011. Syria supports Palestine and the Axis of Resistance. They are illegally occupying the Golan Heights and punishing Syria by keeping it in chaos from the South.
By doing this Israel is directly helping Al Qaeda. Their own former head of the Mossad, their intel service, admitted this on Al Jazeera that israel has treated and assisted Al Qaeda fighters because their goal is the same. They are shameless terrorists.
When they bombed Syria in April, one of Syria's air defence missiles followed an israeli jet all the way to Palestine and landed in the vicinity of a nuclear reactor.
Breaking: Israeli media report sirens have gone off near Dimona, where an israeli nuclear facility lies. Jerusalem residents reported hearing a loud explosion- likely from patriot missile systems responding to a rocket attack but this is unconfirmed. Story is still developing

WATCH: Iran Responds to Israeli Attack on Natanz Nuclear Facility
The centrifuges damaged by israel were the older, first generation IR-1s. They've been replaced by the newer IR-6 generation. Iran also announced it will add another 1000 centrifuges to the Natanz facility and successfully enriched uranium to 60%.
Israel is a reckless, unhinged terrorist entity that thinks blowing up nuclear facilities and killing scientists is acceptable. Imagine if Iran did that to them. We'd never hear the end of it.
WATCH: Cop Who Shot Jacob Blake 7 Times, Paralyzing Him, Given Job Back
Anyone who empties a clip at point blank into someone's back is the definition of trigger-happy. That's not policing.
I don't buy this excuse that police can potentially murder or paralyze someone over a pocket knife. Here's police in London disarming a man with a machete and no one is killed. There are always other ways to handle these situations they just don't care.
American media is not only bought and owned by corporations, who have a profit incentive– it's purposely designed to make people dumb and ignorant on virtually every issue.
Imagine if they spent just 1% of the air time covering Palestine, Yemen, or any issue of substance with honesty instead of recycling this garbage about Russian bounties or fear mongering about China. It's incorrigible.
Don't get me wrong, the British tabloid press is equally rank, but given the magnitude of American corporate media they definitely take the cake in many regards. Although the BBC are never far behind lol.
Officials need to stop asking people to be calm and suspects to be calm and start asking the police to be calm instead. Yelling and drawing guns is not serving a community, that's oppression and terrorism. The word "deescalation" doesn't even exist in their vocabulary.
People resist arrest all the time in the UK that doesn't mean the police can kill them. Some of them are violent, drunk or on drugs too. Still doesn't mean the police can kill them. There are so many different ways you can handle a situation without taking someone's life.
UK has its own issues with race and violence, but the fact most police are unarmed it forces them to take a different approach. Can't be shooting first and asking questions later, this is insanity.
11 years to the day, @wikileaks published the "Collateral Murder" showing Iraqi civilians, among them children and two Reuters journalists gunned down by a US Apache helicopter in Baghdad, 2007. The soldiers can be heard laughing and joking as they also shoot the rescue vehicle.
Dean Yates was Baghdad bureau chief for Reuters at the time. When probing the US military about the death of his colleagues, was only shown the first few minutes of the video. He never knew the truth about this incident until Wikileaks published the video.
