Israel Hits Syrian Army HQ, Near Damascus Palace

"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.
