Syrian army bombards rebels in Syrian Golan Heights near border; IDF treats Syrians, evacuates them to hospital in Safed. The IDF evacuated seven Syrian nationals injured in Syria's civil war to the Ziv Medical Center in Safed on Saturday. An army spokeswoman said the men had arrived with injuries at the Syrian - Israeli border fence, and received first aid from IDF soldiers on the scene. They were then rushed to hospital for medical care. One of the Syrians suffered serious injuries, four were moderately injured and two suffered light injuries. The incident marked the first time that Syrians have been taken to Israel for medical treatment since the uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad erupted some two years ago. Likud Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Saturday that Israel's decision to admit the Syrian nationals to an Israeli hospital did not mark a change in Israel's policy regarding the admittance of Syrian refugees into Israel. Speaking in an interview with Channel 2, Ya'alon stated that Syrian refugees would not now be accepted into Israel en masse, but rather that the incident was an exception and similar instances in the future would be judged on a case by case basis. The incident came as Syrian troops bombarded the demilitarized zone near Israel on Saturday in reprisal for rebel attacks, according to AFP. Earlier, rebels had overrun a military police checkpoint in the town of Khan Arnabeh, just outside the cease fire zone on the border with Israel. The rebels claimed to have seized a Syrian army tank, as well as other weaponry, destroying the tank when government troops began to retaliate. The Syrian army shelled the area near the demilitarized zone, as well as firing on the village of Jubata al-Khashab, which lies inside the demilitarized zone, AFP reported. The continuing violence in Syria has spilled over into Israeli territory on several occasions. During fighting between Syrian army forces and rebels in November several mortar shells and stray bullets landed in Israel, drawing Israeli return fire. The IDF stated at the time that they did not believe the shelling over the border was deliberate. Meanwhile, he United Nations are reporting the death toll in the Syrian Civil War has surpassed 70,000.
You're a big old Jewish Medro, ain't ye? Nah only joking - Medro doesn't post positive stories about his own clan - only negative stories about the other clan.
Nothing about the illegal incursion of the IAF into Syrian and Lebanese airspace recently eh fascist? Nothing about the illegality of the occupation of the Golan heights in the first place eh fascist? I could go on
Is it Anti-Semitic to think that Jews should be sterilised? I wonder why the not 606 resident Zionist Fascist didn't mention it when It came to light that a middle eaatern state was employing a policy of doing just that. Strange.
He was also suspiciously quiet when the UN recently released another damning report into the illegality of the West Bank settlements
There is nothing illegal about Jews living in Judea and Samaria, no matter what the IOC sponsored UN reports might say.
Oh yes international law doesn't apply to Israel when it comes down to "cos the Torah said so" Tell you what, let's re-establish the Babylonian empire and reinstate the Pharaohs as the head of state in Egypt while we're at it
If this story is true, THFC, then it seems like the IDF did the right thing â or at least what I would consider to be the ârightâ thing. Good stuff. A cause and instance for commendation, I would have thought, as opposed to opprobrium. But there we are. Beyond grim.
It's quite convenient such a devastating war would take place in one of the biggest barriers to planned Israeli airstrikes on Iran. Bless their little socks though, they took in 7 injured "civilians", all their war crimes should be forgotten. Oh and there is a good article in the Guardian about why not to read too much into the likely significantly inflated death count of 70,000. I suggest you have a read
Ooh, bit of politics... Well, I'd like to say that i'm quite political myself - but i'm not so it would be pointless. What was the question again?
Forgive me if I don't exactly weep for the deaths of Al Qaeda in Syria and foreigners who have travelled to join this proxy war against one of the few remaining secular governments in the region all stoked up by the west to weaken Iran, remove Russia's only Mediterranean base, further America's total spectrum dominance etc...
Jacky's Beloved "Palestinians" fighting against "one of the few remaining secular governments in the region" The number of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip who are traveling to Syria to join the anti-regime forces is on the rise, Palestinian sources revealed Monday. In the first year of the crisis, only a few Palestinians headed to Syria through Turkey to join the fight against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, the sources said. Recently, however, there has been an increase in the number of Palestinians who left the Gaza Strip to join the anti- Assad rebel forces, the sources added. The sources told the Palestinian Al-Quds newspaper that most of the Palestinians who have joined the rebels in Syria were members of radical Salafi and Jihadi groups in the Gaza Strip. Some of the Palestinians used to belong to Hamas and its armed wing before joining the more radical Islamist groups, according to the sources. The last two months saw a sharp increase in the number of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip who headed to Syria, while many others have expressed their desire to join the rebels, the sources said. Abu al-Ayna al-Ansari, a leader of one of the Salafi groups in the Gaza Strip, confirmed that many of his supporters had joined the Syrian rebels. Ansari said that the Palestinians left the Gaza Strip to join the “mujahideen [warriors] of Jabhat al-Nusra, which is fighting against the criminal regime in Syria.” Established in January 2012, Jabhat al- Nusra was recently designated by the US as a terrorist organization. Ansari said that all the Palestinians who headed to Syria did so voluntarily. He refused to say whether the men had been sent to Syria as part of pre-planned coordination with the Syrian Free Army. He pointed out that some of the Palestinian militants who headed to Syria had been previously detained by Hamas authorities in the Gaza Strip. Evidence of the involvement of Palestinians in the fighting in Syria surfaced six months ago when Nidal al-Eshi, 23, of the Gaza Strip, was killed in the Syrian town of Aleppo. Eshi fled the Gaza Strip 18 months ago after being accused of launching a terror attack on a vehicle belonging to the International Committee of the Red Cross in the town of Beit Hanun in northern Gaza. A Palestinian court sentenced him in absentia to seven years in prison, but he managed to escape from the Gaza Strip. Last December, another Palestinian man, Mohamed Kunaita, 32, was also killed in fighting between the Syrian army and the rebels. Kunaita was also from Gaza and had served as a military commander in Hamas. In a separate development, some 70 Palestinian families that fled from Syria have arrived in the Gaza Strip, Al-Quds reported. The families came from Palestinian refugee camps near Damascus, which have become the scene of fierce fighting. Over the past three months, tens of thousands of Palestinians have fled from Syria to Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt. Increase in Gazans joining rebel forces in Syria
