Over the weekend, (click here) 7
wounded Syrians arrived in Israel in critical condition among them a
2-year-old child. Israeli soldiers provided medical care and evacuated
them to hospitals in Northern Israel....
...Among the wounded was a 2-year-old girl, who was critically injured in
the head. Due to the immediate need to be evacuated to a hospital, the
girl was evacuated together with her mother by helicopter. The rest of
the wounded were evacuated to nearby hospitals in the northern part of
the country....
There is always some kind of nonsense occurring at Israel's borders. Closing the access from the Sinai is necessary. Unfortunately. After the border was closed some Sinai militants fired rockets across the border. There were injuries. That is status quo.
10/4/2017 By Elad Benari Israel updated its warning against travel (click here) to the Sinai Peninsula on
Sunday, calling on Israelis already visiting to leave immediately.
The warning came after two church bombings, one in the city of Tanta
and the other in Alexandria, killed at least 43 people, with the Islamic
State (ISIS) group claiming responsibility. "The fatal terrorist attacks which took place today reflect once
again the terror capability of the Islamic State," the Israeli
government anti-terror bureau said in a statement quoted by AFP. "In light of the gravity of the threat, the anti-terror bureau
advises Israelis currently in the Sinai to leave immediately and return
to Israel," it added....
Syria has missiles, by the way. Syria is not Iraq. It is an armed country, Iraq was disarmed of all missiles, except, Scud missiles that were only allowed to strike up to it's sovereign borders.
...The Syrian air force had some 365-385 combat aircraft (click here) when the fighting
started. It is not clear how many are now active but a rough estimate is
probably about 50 percent with very low sustainability against an
active air attack, limited pilot training, and low daily sorties
generation rates. It had no modern air defense fighters and operational
readiness standards have almost certainly degraded. Syrian holdings of
air defense fighters included 85 aircraft with aging avionics and which
are very vulnerable to both IAF and U.S. fighters, air-to-air missiles,
and air combat systems like the AWACs. These include: 50 obsolescent
MiG-23MF/ML/UM Flogger, 35 export versions of the MiG-29A/U Fulcrum with
limited computer and radar capabilities for look-shoot down and long
range BVR combat. According to the IISS, a large number of these systems
were not operational before the civil war: 30 MiG-25 Foxbats and 2
MiG-25U Foxbats....
If Syria states if there are more missile strikes, it means it. It may pick US military targets in the Mediterranean Sea. That is why Syria is an ally of Russia. Russia has a naval base there. The USA has naval vessels in Italy. This is not funny. Syria is not a joke.

Moscow: Russia's military Friday (click here) said a U.S. strike on a regime air base
in Syria was ineffective but announced Syrian air defenses would be
strengthened to shield the country's key infrastructure.
"To protect Syria's most sensitive infrastructure, a complex of measures
will be implemented in the near future to strengthen and improve the
effectiveness of the Syrian armed forces' air defense system," defense
ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.
He added the strike had had an "extremely low" military impact, and
fewer than half of the 59 reported U.S. missiles had actually found
their target.
"Only 23 missiles reached the Syrian airbase," he said....
It seems to me Mr. Spicer is composing an Iraq War 2.0 story line. No one is speaking the truth. Israel has received refugees from Syria. They were very ill, including, children. Those refugees are being medically treated in Israel's hospitals by Israel's doctors. The media should be following the progress of those refugees. If I remember the reports correctly the refugees were survivors of gas exposure. These incidents should be included in the record at the UN Security Council. Thank you Israel for the humanitarian effort.
This illegal shooting took place with an Opelika, Alabama (click here). Sessions is an Alabama native with no particular interest in proper police work. At one point one officer states to another, "So you stopped to protect him." (camera stop 7:21) Really? This is the kind of treatment the American people have to look forward to with Sessions in the AG office. April 4, 2017 By Jefferson Morley It was no surprise when Attorney General Jeff Session (click here) announced his decision Monday to curb the Justice Department office which investigates and sometimes sues local police department for “a pattern or practice” of unconstitutional law enforcement....
