Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Israel PM admits forces operating in war-hit Syria Yahoo... Jerusalem (AFP) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted for the first time Tuesday that Israeli forces have been operating in Syria, where the Iran-backed regime is battling rebels including the jihadist Islamic State. "We occasionally carry out operations in Syria to prevent that country from becoming a front against us," Netanyahu told reporters during a visit to northern Israel. "We also do everything to prevent weapons, particularly lethal ones, being moved from Syria to Lebanon," he added. Netanyahu did not provide further details and his comments were the first public recognition that Israel has been active in conflict-riddled Syria. Several purported strikes have occurred in recent months, targeting alleged Iranian arms transfers from Syria to Lebanon and destined for Israel's arch-foe, the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah. But these strikes were not officially acknowledged by Israeli authorities. Israel opposes the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, which has been battling an armed rebellion since March 2011, but has sought to avoid being dragged into the war in neighbouring Syria. Russia, an ally of the Assad regime along with Iran, launched an air campaign against his opponents in late September. On Sunday, Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon said a Russian warplane had recently entered Israeli-controlled airspace from Syria but the intrusion was resolved without incident. "It was apparently an error by the pilot who was flying near the Golan," Yaalon said. Israel seized most of the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and later annexed the territory in a move never recognised by the international community. Yaalon said Israel and Russia had made arrangements to avoid clashes over Syria, with the agreement said to include a "hotline" and information sharing. Netanyahu echoed his comments on Tuesday, saying the Israeli and Russian military forces "are in close coordination to avoid such incidents". Their remarks came in the aftermath of the downing by Turkey over a Russian warplane which Ankara said had entered Turkish airspace -- a claim denied by Moscow. Poster Comment: Tatarewicz... As long as ISIS is in control of some of Syria's oil fields Israel apparently gets three quarters of its oil needs at half the already low market price of about $40 David Meir ... People claim israel supports isis, yet israel bombs syria with the full knowledge and cooperation of russia who is after isis and try to protect assad. This makes no sense (except in the mid of jew haters), as putin is no fool and would surely raise difficulties about the idf bombing syria if it was all about toppling assad and helping isis. Look at how putin got at erdogan's throat and accusing him of helping isis. Obviously there is something going on but to understand it one must give away the brainwashed, pre ordained narratives of israel = isis and other loonie theories. Being an israeli i'll try to explain to you jew haters. Yes, we are against assad, but only because he serves as the middle man for the iran/hizbollah route. If it wasn't for that we couldn't care less about him. Before 2011, the syrian border was the most quiet, and better the devil you know than the one you don't. So our only interest is weapons passing to hizbollah. Putin and Netanyahou have got a deal. We bomb the arms shippements for lebanon. Russia doesn't interfere, and we don't try to topple assad. Until now, the agreement is going ok. Russia can keep killing islamists like isis. They prevent them to arrive at our borders (sorry haters but there is no isis at the golan border that is a myth created by israel haters). We bomb the #$%$ of who we want as long as we don't directely target assad. Iran buys more of the destroyed weapons from russia, meaning more money in putin's pockets. Everyone is happy. Except for erdogan but who cares? 36-34 David ... there is most definitely a massive game changing oil patch in the golan heights A massive oil reserve has been discovered in the Golan Heights by an Israeli energy company, regional news outlets reported Wednesday. The find by Afek Oil and Gas, confirmed to be 10 times larger than the average oil field worldwide, could boost Israel’s relatively young oil industry and meet domestic energy demands. "There is enormous excitement,” Yuval Bartov, the oil and gas chief geologist for Afek, told Channel 2 News, according to Globes. “It's a fantastic feeling. We came here thinking maybe yes or maybe no and now things are really happening." Israeli oil companies were searching for oil around the clock, with little success until the latest discovery. It was first announced last month, but the size of the find was only confirmed recently. Afek Oil and Gas is a subsidiary of American company Genie Energy. Since Israel’s founding, companies have drilled 530 exploratory wells in search for oil, but few of them have turned up commercially viable product, the Times of Israel reported. is IBTIMES lying? Far ... It is strange that ISIS, the most brutal Islamic terrorist group of all time threatened Hamas and not Israel. I would think these barbarians would go straight for Israel. Many people believe Israel, the US, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey have been funding ISIS to fight a proxy war against Syria, Russia, and Iran. 50-31 Far ... They (ISIS) don't have a purpose or goal other to take as much money and territory as possible, similar to a gang. You need to study the history of radical Islam in the 20th century, and you will realize every single radical group's biggest beef with the west was the creation of the State of Israel. The fact that the most brutal Islamic terrorist group of all time has not threatened them or tried to attack them seems suspicious to me, and it's also suspicious that Israel isn't the least bit worried about ISIS. Please research how ISIS originally gained their money, they robbed a bank in Iraq in July of 2013 for $300 million. This bank heist is what got their organization started, and I find it odd that there were several hundreds of millions of dollars in a bankin a war torn country, and it's even more peculiar that these terrorists just happened to stumble upon it by accident. I am just saying based on facts, it is entirely possible the West funded these animals and now can no longer control them. 2-1 Tatarewicz... @Far "the West financed these "rebels" to fight the Syrians, Iranians, and Russians." All of which have made unfriendly-to-Israel moves. Syria-Iran supporting Palestinians' rights to reclaim lands stolen by Zionist thieves. Russia interfering with Jew attempts to establish a second homeland in Ukraine, once home of Khazars. Western ZOG governments support Israel because its Sayanim are instrumental in electing Israel-friendly politicians to office. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
