Israel Hits Syrian Army HQ, Near Damascus Palace

Israel has struck the headquarters of the Syrian Ministry of Defence and close to the presidential palace in the capital Damascus, dramatically escalating on another military front in the region, and following through on its threats to intervene over clashes between government troops and Druze fighters in the southern Syrian city of Suwayda.

"Israel claims it has been carrying out the strikes in Syria to protect Syria's Druze minority, which Israel views as a potential ally and which has been involved in clashes with Syrian government troops in Suwayda, a Druze stronghold. The community there has not welcomed Israeli intervention in the past."

Also, here's a video of the attack on Live News TV as it happened behind the reporter:

Israel does not want a Democratic Syria.

They can't control a Democratic Syria.

So they will do ANYTHING they can to stop it.

I like how they said, it's to protect the Druze. Can't help but make it be somebody else's fault.
