Israeli Peace Envoys Fired On By Syrians

[Shaneofski]

It seems that Israel's latest effort to bring peace to the region, sending fighter jets into Syrian air-space in an attempt to ease tensions, has backfired.

Apparently, the Syrians, rash as ever, misunderstood the gesture by the IDF (which has a reputation for showering neighbouring countries with gifts), and opened fire with their air defense systems.

You know, that's the problem with Israel. They're misunderstood! Just like their American allies.

Syrian minister: 'Israel can't survive without aggression'

"Israel in fact does not want peace. It cannot survive without aggression, treachery and military messages," Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal said Thursday, a day after IAF aircraft allegedly violated Syrian airspace in an overnight operation.

Bilal said the government was "seriously studying the nature of the response," but refused to indicate in an interview with Al-Jazeera whether the reaction would be on the military or diplomatic level. He would not give any more details about the incident, but said it proved Israel's policies are based on hostility.

He said recent US aid of $30 billion over 10 years to Israel encouraged its government to "such arrogance that it delivered this morning message."

Syrian officials reported that four or five IAF aircraft broke the sound barrier and dropped fuel tanks over deserted areas of northern Syria, along its border with Turkey. Witnesses said the incident occurred in the Abyad area.

A Syrian military spokesman said that Syrian air defenses opened fire on the IAF aircraft. "The Israeli enemy aircraft infiltrated into the Arab Syrian territory through the northern border, coming from the Mediterranean heading toward the eastern region, breaking the sound barrier," the spokesman said.

"Air defense units confronted them and forced them to leave after they dropped some ammunition in deserted areas without causing any human or material damage," he added. "We warn the Israeli enemy government against this flagrant aggressive act, and retain the right to respond in an appropriate way."

It was not clear if Syria was accusing the Israelis of using warplanes or some type of other aircraft like drones.

The IDF said that it was "not accustomed to responding to such reports."

Would those be the Palestinian children of parents who allowed Palestinian terrorists to use their apartment to fire rockets at Israeli children in the full knowledge Israel would fire back at their apartment?

No it is the Israel where emergency services use tweezers to collect the body parts of children (Israeli and Arab) decimated by Palestinian terrorists.
