#Syria launched 10s of missiles against 4 #Israel/I military objectives in the occupied #GolanHeight in response to continuous Israeli provocation of war (hitting Syrian & allies' targets in various locations).

#Israel/I jets violated #Lebanon airspace last night to bomb #Syria

#Israel continuous provocation to trigger another war in #Syria w/ #Iran has been met with Iranian refraining from retaliating coz it is due to the hosting country to respond.

#Russia is constantly asking #Damascus to avoid falling into Israel's trap

#Israel intercepted 4 out of 20 missiles launched by #Syria air defence system into occupied #GolanHeight. 16 missiles reached their targets according to Damascus.

#Israel, before the Syrian retaliation, bombed several targets in #Syria for the fourth time in less than a month.

#Syria's retaliation still carry the sign of defence rather than offence, meeting the #Russia/n request to limit the response.

This is the most important #Syria/n retaliation since the Nakba against #Israel.

#Israel insists in accusing #Iran (like most main stream media who can see the Iranian black turban on every missile launched from #Syria) for the retaliation. The aim is to provide an accuse (this time very weak) to #USA and the world for a larger escalation.

It is most unlikely that #Israel refrain from carrying out its very dangerous game in #Syria. If #Israel bombs #Iranian (known) main HQ spread over 3 locations in #Syria, than the situation may change by increasing a #Syrian retaliation to cover beyond the occupied #GolanHeight

So far #Syria is responding against #Israel (down jets) over the occupied Golan (Syrian territory) & launching missiles against Israeli military targets in the Golan (Syrian land). The tit-for-tat can go much beyond that, depending on how far Israel is willing to take it.

Keep in mind that 16 missiles launched from #Syria managed to go through all #Israeli defence anti-missile systems. This is a strong indication that Israel is not protected from Syrian military capability: something for Tel Aviv to ponder upon.

Good news: Now #Israel is saying "we don't want a war and we are not looking for a battle".
This means #Israel is standing down. For how long? No more violation for #Lebanon airspace to bomb #Syria?

Test of English as a Foreign Language

Explanation of "Israel retaliates":

#Israel hits #Syria = no reply from Syria
Israel fire again = no reply from Syria
Israel fire once more = no reply from Syria
Israel fire the fourth time = Syria responds = Israel "retaliates".

Tomorrow I'll reveal why #Israel is hitting Iranian targets in #Syria and why #Iran is not retaliating.

Actually Israel is trying to provoke an Iranian reaction or, the alternative, Iran bides by Hezbollah-Israel undeclared ROE.

Don't count missiles/rockets, objectives, number of Israeli jets engaged & casualties: irrelevant.

The new element is, despite Russia's knowledge of the attack before hand, there is a new Rule of Engagement established: the #GolanHeights was hit and will continue to be targeted.
