| No point in staying silent about that one, given the even bigger missile strikes that followed. |
The IDF has taken responsibility Friday for the missile strike on the bases in the Hama and Aleppo countryside, in which some 25 people were killed, most of them Iranians, and 35 others were maimed.
The attack targeted Iranian-made air defense systems that were transferred to Syria with the intention of being used against Israel.
A day before, the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
reported that 200 missiles had been destroyed in the missile strike.
According to NBC, in recent weeks, Iran has increased military shipments to Syria.
The supplies included ground-to-air missiles, which, according to two US officials, were meant to strengthen Iran's forces in Syria in preparation for an attack on Israel.
The kabooms were registered as a 2.6 magnitude earthquake by the European Mediterranean Seismological Center.
