Following a BBC report that Iran is allegedly building a military base in Syria, Israel’s Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman threatened to destroy this base and said that Israel “will not allow the Shi‘ite axis to establish Syria as its forefront base,” the London-based Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported.
The statement was made on November 12. The BBC report quoted intelligence sources and showed some satellite photos which allegedly confirm the claims. The base is allegedly located outside El-Kiswah, 14 km south of Damascus, 50km from the Syrian contact line with Israel.
Asharq Al-Awsat also quoted Tel Aviv sources which said that “Israel believes that the Iranians have no intention to leave Syria or withdraw their loyal militias from the country.” Furthermore, Israeli believes Iran could strengthen its permanent military presence in Syria.
On Monday, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tel Aviv has informed Moscow and Washington that Israeli forces will continue to take action in Syria according to its interests despite any ceasefire.
“We are controlling our borders, we are protecting our country and we will continue to do so,” Netanyahu said. “I have also informed our friends, firstly in Washington and also our friends in Moscow, that Israel will act in Syria, including in southern Syria, according to our understanding and according to our security needs.”
This could get very ugly, very quickly.
Not really. This base is just outside of Damascus. If Israel strikes there, there will be no response from either Syria or Iran.
???!
Maybe this will be one step too far and the Russkies will finally switch their S-400s on !!.
It could do, but, how many years has there been war in the Middle East, with a certain nation’s leaders stirring the pot, from start to finish? However, they never faced a serious military that showed them how things should be done. They just purchased a load of expensive rubbish and assumed their friends would do the fighting.
Since Russia came to help Syria, how many ME nations have seen a different way of doing things and are just sick and tired of Middle East destruction and for what? They know, each nation taken out, means a step closer to their own suffering the same consequences and they appear to have had enough.
If Israel wishes to pick a fight, then can you see Iran, China and Russia allowing that to happen? There are two teams fighting to the end, and one is weak and arrogant and the other gaining in strength and friends.
israhell is a losing nation with the worst karma on earth – first class perm hell cowards
Please Don`t be confused, devil-israel is an entity , NOT nation. that entity has been developing such as malcious cancer in Middleast. That cancer will be cut off.
IsraHell is mostly the British Empire’s degenerate lab experiment to control the Middle East.
Israel most attack now or face extinction 11-12 years later on the same front. They have no other choice then acting now.. The more time they take to act the more dengerous becomes the fortification next to them.
They are in race against time for survival. If they fail to attack I don’t see them surviving. Israel as we know could realistically be gone by 2030-32
How did they (Israelis) make all of their neighbors mortal enemies?
By invading the neighborhood.
PS maybe that was a rhetorical question he asked !!!!!!!!!?
It most likely is, I was running with it, is that okay with you?
Anything and everything is OKAY with me; in my defense, I was trying to assist, because English can be difficult to non-native speakers.
My apologies.
No problem Al, I grew up with two languages simultaneously, because of that I think and understand in two and it can seem that I am not native to English.
Cheers, understood and out until the next time.
If Israel is in such a hurry to ensure it’s survival then the very last thing it should be doing is both arming and facilitating ISIS, as it has done throughout the past 3 years in unholy alliance with the wahabi-satanist-sunni-saudi “royal” family in return for which BiBi received an $80 Million bung from the Saudi princelings in 2015 to facilitate and finance his re-election. Despite the fact that this bribe is well-known it has barely raised itself above the surface in western media.
So I for one vote you got carpet bombed with high yield nuclear weapons.
Nothing personal, you know, if you push it to be a zero sum game I rather see you getting zero.
Good come on attack and see how far israel can go before you see Hez ,Syrian, pmu, Iranian fighters fighting in Israel itself
Hez has stated publicly, next war will not be a defensive war like Lebanon 2006 and will be in Israel where nukes cannot be used.
You really think Israel can fight these armies?
“You really think Israel can fight these armies?“
Do you really think they wont have help …
.And are you sure that winning wont be losing …
===============================================
“We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets of our air force.”
“Our armed forces are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that this will happen before Israel goes under.”
Creveld, a professor of military history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem,
===============================================
““If there ever were serious support [for the right of return], Israel would go all out– using nuclear weapons, anything else– to prevent it. So it’s not going to happen.”`
Noam Chomsky
desperate people do desperate things.
Well if the fight is in Israel how are you going to use nukes?
Iran and allies have more than enough forces attacking in all directions and air Force would not make a difference.
Remember , Iran have lots of Sam too,plus long range cruise missiles too
Btw, your talk about destroyingvthe world proves that nukes in Israeli hands with a tiny tiny population is really not a good idea.
Yet you guys so fearful Iran can have one lousy nuke
First off, I don’t advocate the use of nukes. Because I am not stupid. And I kind of want my species to survive in peace.
Proper pronoun you were looking for was “they”. rather than “you”.
Did you not read the quotes? If it turns out that the Israelite’s are at risk of annihilation, then it wont matter where they shoot them. Desperate people, do desperate things. So they might do anything, just like North Korea might do anything if we decide to invade.
And it isn’t “my talk”. It is what Jewish people said. Both Chomsky, AND Creveld, are Jewish. cHOMSKY DOES NOT SUPPORT zIONISM, WHILE cREVELD DOES.
They both seem to agree on the Zionists willingness to use nukes if they are backed up against a wall. That is kind of scary no ?
I do NOT support American imperialism, Israeli imperials, or any imperialism.
I also do not advocate a war, between anyone.
First of use of nukes against a non nuke country is a crime against humanity and those who ordered it will hang .
Seems they are more dangerous than North Korea when you stated , they do not care where they fire as though the rest of the world are responsible for your misdeeds etc.
Come back to earth and talk rationally.
When the fight is in Israel, how can you use the nukes. No way , they are the last type of people who commit suicide unlike those terrorists.
In the end peace is the best
I don’t think it is going to happen that in the face of defeat when the fight is in Israel proper Israel will use the nukes.
They would be committing suicide too.
With such talks looks like NOrth Korea looks tame.
they said it, not me. For some, submitting is not an option.
yet
From the unknown comes fear, and from fear can come inaction. Could all be disinformation.
SO what it comes down to, are you a gambling man.
The sooner Israel is gone as a pariah state the better.
They wont kill Pinocchio will they ?. Let’s get him out first and then annihilate them.
Send in the Pied Piper and lead the Zionists over the cliff into an abyss.
You guys are really sick and want to attack others based on future fears.
No wonder wars are everywhere you see guys like you and the Americans now threatening NK out of future fears and millions of others not his will die.
Are you guys human?
But good thing know you will lose as you lost right now in Syria.
You may be right that the survival of Zionism may end in ten or so years. Please explain why this is bad? Zionism has caused most of the problems in the Middle East. Its imperialistic, racist, and it is an apartheid state…good riddance IMHO.
There is no room in the Middle East for Zionists and the racist who support it.
ahhhh well, cheerio.
The arrogance of the Israelis is rather impressive.
Israhell, permanent forward operating base in the Middle East for the UK/US/Zio/Rothschild Bankster Empire & its pack of Gulf financier wolves push the world one step closer to WWIII.
Iran’s ( & Syria’s ) main sin is that they do not, & will not, join the Rothschild Central Bankster’s fraudulent system of money creation out of thin air.

We live in interesting times.
Israel uses fake news, propaganda so much that make the world confuse.
Israelis are master of disinformation.
The original report came from Israel. It was echoed by the BBC and now Israel is using them as an ‘independent’ source for their own rumor.
You can always rely on the BBC to be loyal to their Common Purpose friends and puppet masters.
BBC is just the echo of what Israel says, and Israel uses this echo as a fact to justify its madness.
Irani military base in Syria is legal but Israel whole state in Palestine is illegal.
Second Israeli state is based on £3 Belfour declaration which has no value.
Sad but true.

just negotiating bark, keep your iranians from our golan type of talk, nothing more.
It is interesting to see that Nutstenyahoo keep voicing the voice of Israel despite his looming corruption sentence.
On the contrary. His public corruption is why he has to shout attack.
If Israel go with his flow, he is the head of his country.
If not, he will not last much longer.
Yes, Nut10yahoo is fighting for his political survival.
Wow big talk.
Let’s see if they dare to attack Iranian forces officially.
I call them bluff as Iran will reply unlike small Hez .
Rockets will fly
Iran’s armed forces are a joke.
Your grandfather told you that?
They are the ones who trained Hez that with 3000 militia beat the most modern American supplied weapons army and you dare to take on them?
Welcome to try before you piss in your pants carrying your own bodybags
maybe you should ask him to pull his head out of his annus so that he’ll get a clearer picture.. lol..!
This one sounds line JIDF/Hasbara….
Iran is NO joke and will give the god damn psychos in ira-Hell a bloody nose if they try to attack their nation..
But of course the psychos in that stolen land will have their minions in the US do all the fighting and dying against Iran of course…
Put a sock in it, will you please; you are becoming boring.
Iran is a large country with a large population – even with sanctions on their military technology, they have capacity to wage and sustain heavy infantry war and absorb casualties. Israel is a small country with a small population – despite its subsidized US military technology, they do not have capacity to sustain heavy infantry war and absorb casualties. That is Israel’s core strategic reality and disadvantage.
Jews were used to dominate Germany with arrogance,
they got the Nazi…
Jews are used to dominate America with arrogance,
a silent Typhoon is under way…
Jews are used to dominate the Middle East thank’s
of the US instrumentation, a World disaster is under way…
Israel deliberately forgets its history

Yes hundreds of thousands rockets will hit.. dimona hell haviv & Haifa.. they can raze the whole Iranian population and two third of Iran.. but Iran will make sure israhell is history..! And israhell knows the facts..! They are just barking as they know it’s for real..! then.. there goes the nwo @ greater israhell.. hahaha..! That is another reason why Iran doesn’t need a nuclear power to flattened the huge squatters in the land of Palestine..!
The stolen Syrian Golan Heights belongs to the Syrian people not to the Zionists. Syria has the obligation to recover its stolen territory. There is no ambiguity about this. As long as Syrian Golan Heights is under Israeli occupation, Syria has the right to self defense including fraternal Iranian and Hezbollah military support.
No one is stopping Syria, and its crack army and ‘elite Tigers’ (lol), from trying to take it back. The reason it doesn’t happen, is because they know they would get their asses kicked.
Exactly as the Israelies got their asses kicked by Hezbollah in 2006. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/05/AR2009040502235.html
lookie you. You dont care if its a war crime`they do.
`Might is right.“ You all happy they have bigger guns.
And again the BBC..The most despicable “news” outlet on the planet
As a Brit; I must add my view on this comment.
YEEEEEP – 100% CORRECT.
As another Brit. I concur.
But then again, my understanding is, they are all connected anyhow. Another useful tool,for the globalist to do what he has to do, in order to remake the planet, in his preferred image.
“So no, it’s not a hyperbole to say the Banking System is One. We’re not overstating the case when we say it’s just one massive cartel. That the banks own everything, including all the major industries. Oil, Weapons, Pharmaceuticals, Food, Telecom and IT, etc. It’s all one massive monopoly. Controlled from the top down “
’A total of 737 control 80% of it all”
The Money Power is real and these Swiss gentlemen have done us a favor by crunching the numbers.”
Please Google “The network of global corporate control”
Bibi is in hot water…..corruption…again. It wouldn’t be the first time he tried to save his career by war mongering.
Here in Croatia there is an old saying …….”God help any one that Russians defend and Greeks feed”
Because throughout twentieth century Croatian’s proved such reliable partners…
OK…. Reality check here… WHY would Iran ever bother to build a “base” near the Israeli border? That makes absolutely no sense at all, which means that ‘base’ is a phoney and part of Israel’s insanity and propaganda to escalate the war in Syria.
There you go, the one other that sees the truth. It is a load of bllx.
and then they wonder why they where discriminated and displaced
israel wants to mess with iran? they will moan another 2000 years when iranians burn their temples
babylonians assyrians greeks/seleukids romans crusaders inquisition reconquista Germans even Soviets
the only nation that had no problem with jews was iran and since israel they alienated themselves so much from their traditional friends (like morocco and iran for example)
they have no friend left
american people wont give a fuck when israel is burned to the ground
its just a question of time israelis will be the same homeless tribe they always have been
Too bad, because who needs friends if we all recognize that we are brothers.
Except for the megalomaniacs who want to own us. And divide us so they can.
It was Persians (Iranians) who liberated the Israelites from captivity in Babylon. We never hear expressions of eternal gratitude or something…
This really is a total crock of s…h.1t.
Some humpty numpty uses lego to build some little sheds and uses the camera lenses to spice it up and low and behold this gives Israel the right to break International law and commit atrocities and war crimes.
God I hate the BBC and I am sick and tired of all this BS and war.
And it ain’t just Israel that commits war crimes. Everyone who has participated in imperialism has committed war crimes.
I can tell you when it will be over, want to know?
I would love to know.
I go 12-24 months after the first Saudi- Israeli strike.

And it seems to me, since 911 was an inside job, they are going all out.
And they have to, since our current ideology is gonna collapse pursuant inequality AND tech unemployment which is and will most definitely, replace most jobs. Our current idea that jobs defines survival, is soon obsolete.
They know that, while the herd still runs to the polls and votes for whomever is appointed by the rich, for them to vote for. This childlike naivete, and the lack of regard for patterns, is alarming.
And these appointed men, whatever their political color gets voted in by the herd so they can feel relevant, well these politicos tell the herd, dont worry, we are going to fix our economy (that is wrecked with corrupt credit creation, profit motive and usury) by creating more jobs that are soon to be obsolete.
There is no fix. There is only impending crash. Which explains the acceleration of imperialism since 911.
A hit from the stupid stick at both ends.
Hope the rambling didn’t distract from my answer.
End game is clear.

Good read here, and it is a reality.
I think the solution the banksters have, will be more beneficial to the banksters ,than it will be for us. But if we dont talk about it, can we complain because they are doing it. Whatever the cost.
Every word understood and agreed. Thanks.
It is unfortunate that Israel has “friends” in Russia, but it is probably true, else Israel would not seriously consider attacking a military base in Syria whose ever it was. Obviously, Putin is weak in this situation and the Israelis know it.
Normally Israel hits targets without notice. The place has been made way too public. It would not surprise me if the place turned out to be something completely different than advertised. It could also be bait for the IDF, who knows. I can’t get worked up about this kind of item. A good day to all.
Iran should threaten to destroyed the US military base in IsraHell.
Hezbollah should be allowed to form a political party in Syria, I can imagine it would become quite popular
Hope Russia doesn’t bail.
i hope Russia stop just seeing the Israel show bombing.
Yeah, South Front, hehe, in this, uh….. fake news times.
BBC, why are we not a bit surprised, yeah, why, BBC have been an propaganda channel since it came into existence, its just now the latest decade its become glaringly obvious, and of course, they run everything the Joojos wants them to run on their , eh….news, u… sites.
Welcome to the real world and everything in this eh….. “report” from ugh…… BBC, is of course,, bollocks.
I cant help is but smile, even tho its %&¤%# snowing, outside, in this, days where snow was supposedly an thing of the past, what glorious times do we live in, isn’t it, I even read somebody acknowledged what we have know about Vaccines, yup, I may fire up an quarter pounder to celibate.
peace
