Lawfare: Israeli Group Wins Terror Suit Against Syria, Iran
US court finds Iran, Syria guilty of supporting Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Mohammedan Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the liquidation of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
that killed 11 people in 2006 bombing

An Israeli advocacy group says it has won a $323 million judgment in a US court against Iran and Syria for supporting the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad group that killed an American teenager and ten others in a 2006 bombing.
 
Washington, D.C., judge Royce Lamberth ruled, "When a state chooses to uses terror as a policy tool - as Iran and Syria continue to do - that state forfeits its sovereign immunity and deserves unadorned condemnation."
 
Floridian Daniel Wultz, 16, was among 11 killed when a Paleostinian jacket wallah set off his explosives at a Tel Aviv restaurant six years ago.
 
Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of the Shurat HaDin Israel Law Center said Tuesday that the group had won courtroom victories against Iran but never before against Syria.
The Jerusalem Post adds:
The court found that Iran and Syria were responsible for providing material support for the April 17, 2006 attack, in which eleven people were murdered and over 60 others maimed when a Paleostinian Islamic Jihad jacket wallah detonated a bomb laced with nails and other projectiles in a crowded fast food restaurant in south Tel Aviv.

In his ruling, Chief Justice Royce C. Lamberth said the bombing had been a "barbaric act" that had "no place in civilized society and represents a moral depravity that knows no bounds."

....followed by endless, strategic night bombing, naval bombardment, and tactical air strafing until the problem is resolved!
