Israel’s two fronts explode: IDF officer hurt in Gaza. Russia praises IDF strike on ISIS letting Syria, Hizballah reach Kinneret

The surreal effect of the latest happenings on Israel’s Gaza and northern fronts is caused by at least six cooks stirring two volatile broths, of which the IDF is the least pro-active. Because the IDF was not alert to a new threat after Sgt. Aviv Levy was killed by a sniper last Friday, a second officer, a 21-year old field commander of the same Givati Brigade , was injured on Wednesday, July 25, in the same Kissufim sector, by a Hamas sniper bullet, The soldiers were drawn by a gang of unruly children at the border fence and when they approached to send them home. The sniper lurking in the background targeted the officer. The IDF reacted with an assorted array of jets, drones, tanks and artillery against 7 Hamas positions. Also activated were communications with Gen. Abbas Kemal, director of Egyptian intelligence, in a bid to hold off the inevitable Hamas rocket assault. The familiar ritual then evolved: Hamas launched 9 rockets and mortar rounds against the next-door Israeli communities and Hof Ashkelon, one was intercepted by Iron Dome – and the latest of umpteen similar rounds was over, the point being that the initiative for the next round remained squarely n the hands of the Palestinian terrorist group,

Hamas’ strategists had meanwhile calculated that snipers constituted an inexpensive weapon in terms of cost to pocket and life, much like balloon bombs and kites; only three of its operatives were killed this time round, and Israeli strikes were still targeting empty Hamas compounds. The Palestinian terrorists found that they can keep large parts of the southern Israeli population under siege long-term by these primitive tactics at little cost to themselves, while also picking off at leisure IDF officers by luring them to the border fence.
The equation on the northern front is complicated by the number of cooks and wildly fluctuating equations. The IDF’s air defense system evidently needs more work, as was illustrated by its non-response to the landing of two ground-to-ground Grad rockets in the Sea of Galilee on Wednesday, July 25, at peak holiday season. They were fired from the Syrian-Israeli-Jordanian border intersection 8 km away. Sirens were triggered over the lake and the Golan only after one of the rockets exploded in the water near the eastern shore. By a miracle, no one was hurt. IDF air defense missile systems missed them two days after two missiles of Israel’s innovative David’s Sling failed to connect with Syrian SS-21 surface missiles flying from eastern Syria towards the Golan.  Still, the next day, Patriot batteries were effective in shooting down a Syrian Sukhoi-24 two kilometers inside Israel, after downing a Syrian drone.
The Grads which dropped into the Kinneret were fired by the Khalid Ibn Walid branch of ISIS, which is being hammered by Syrian and pro-Iranian allied forces in a pocket they have held for years near the Yarmuk inside the border intersection just across from Israel.

This ruse was staged to lure the IDF into pinning the blame on, and attacking, the Syrian army, and so drawing off the counter-ISIS assault. The ruse did not work. The IDF identified ISIS as the source of the rocket fire and struck back, after refraining for years to attacking them. For this, the IDF drew praise from an unexpected source. The Russian defense ministry said that a strike on Israeli territory on Wednesday was made from Daesh positions and that the response from Israel had hit terrorists’ missile launchers in Quneitra. The ministry expressed gratitude to the Israeli Defense Forces for the counterattack. “Russian armed forces’ command in Syria used the existing communication channels to thank the IDF leadership for killing terrorists and stopping a massive provocation,” the ministry said in a statement.

However, DEBKAfile’s military sources point to the surreal consequence for Israel of the IDF’s counter-ISIS operation. It enabled Syrian, Hizballah and other pro-Iranian forces to capture the terrorist enclave and reach a point close to the Sea of Galilee. What’s wrong with that equation?

        Israel as the ethic / moral world leader must give the example and find sustainable solutions.
        Anyway we must crush every military iminent threat.

      As Senior Hamas leader Haniyeh meets with U.N. Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process. One can see various Palestinian Factions meet to devise a plan with the Hamas military wing members are waiting for an order to attack Israel. Iran’s Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Quds Force has also weighed in warned the US and Israel promising that were the US to begin a war Iran would finish it.

      Many Speculate whether Israel can fight and survive a 2 to 3 Front War, but the thing to remember it only needs to Fight a One Front War that Targets Only Iran, and America and Arab Coalition is easy capable of doing that just, and that way Iranian, Syrian, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Fatah Shiia and Palestinians will wither on the Vine as Iran is Bidden, Bonded and Blinded having to Deal with its own Problems within Tehran.

      The bottom line is that you can never hear too much truth regarding the ideology and history of Islamic Jihad. Just like what happen in Iraq, Libya, and Yemen, where Chaos Rules and it shall, will, and happen in Iran. The 3 Front War can be sustained by the IDF but Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Quds Force can be wiped out in minutes, hours, and a few days and the Persian People will do the mopping up within a new Persia.

      What happen to Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti and Muammar Mohammed Abu Minyar Gaddafi can easily happen to Qassem Suleimani, Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Mohammad Khatami, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Hassan Rouhani as well.

      By waiting to launch a real attack against hamas and Iislamic jihad, Isreal is sustaining more and more provocation. hamas’ war of attrition is working.

      Hamas is calling the shots.

      It is ridiculous that Israel merely reacts, and limited reaction at best, as opposed to dealing with the problem once and for all.

      If they are concerned that iran and/or hizbollah joining the war with gaza, they are only putting off the inevitable, while hamas hezbollah and iran continue to prepare for this war.

      Better to strike early, in order to minimize Much larger potential damages later on.

          There was no such thing as Jews back then so that’s impossible. The word “Jew” did not come into existence until the year 1775 A.D., whereas the occurrences in the bible took place from around 4000 B.C. to 70 A.D.

          WHO IS A JEW?

          Its modern connotation points to someone who follows and adheres to a faith similar to that of the Pharisees of Judah, but is not of the tribe and stock of Judah. In other words, Jews are people from nations other than the 12 Hebrew tribes who practice a religion known as Judaism/Pharisaism, the doctrine of the Pharisees.

Look at a few of these cretins – Rosenstein, Browder, the liberal Jews that own MSM and Hollyweird, all the Neocons etc…..America made the fatal mistake of allowing Zionists to run the show. And they have 5th column sidekicks in America known as liberals and evangelicals. And quite a shitshow they are running.

        The could not have down Grads , since maybe only Russian have something against these rockets or more precisely , rockets/mortars. Isis , lived nicely on the borders with Israel for over 5 years, even getting supply lines, and instructions from Americans , French and British . What than is the issue , everyone gets whatever they wished for . The war unfortunately for USA and its poodles sooner or later will end . Reason is simple , its very bad idea and method to kill regular population , since it might be momentary success looking from the side , but it will produce the action vs reaction . Its true in both borders and Israel need to find new methods of dealing with such , whether direct or indirect , since it is together with American responsible for disintegration in the ME.

        The New Testament makes it look like it’s a Jew vs non-Jew (Gentile) thing when in fact it is documenting vicious hateful Judean (Jewish) sectarianism at its worse at the time. In others words, it’s all about Jews vs Jews against each other under a vicious Roman occupation. The sects of the Sadducees, Pharisees, Herodians, Zealots, Nazarenes, etc. were in disagreement and fighting with each other over who was right and has God’s favor and which group could attract the most converts from the large pool of poor ignorant common unaffiliated Jewish masses. The non-Jews at the times there were the Romans and Greeks mostly. The Jews still go out of their way a lot in trying to prevent Jews from leaving and believing in some other religion.

          The Nazarenes were different in that they eventually allowed non-Jews to join even though most of its early followers were originally Jews, but over time as it spread across the Roman Empire it became mostly non-Jewish (Gentile) dominated so that a few hundred years later it got its greatest boost when Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and changed the official religion of the Roman Empire to Christianity.

        it’s as the bible said. the people followed Yeshu’a, the prince. The Zionists had been leading the people to believe that the expected Mashiach would overthrow the Roman power. Even ‘John, the ritual immersor was expecting such a visitation. When Yeshu’a , the prince, refused, they sought a means to take his life. When they gave him to the Romans they accused him of being an insurrectionist and sought the release of an actual murderer and terrorist in exchange. Pilate knew all of this but his hands were tied. Hence the sign. After this the Zionists took over the Temple. Soon the temple was destroyed.

    There is only one party in Israel that can save Israel and the Jews. It’s the Zehut party. Moshe Feiglin has a plan to transfer out the Arab from the land of Israel. Check out his videos on you tube, you will see how it will work. Israel will never have peace within her land as long as the Arabs stay. Jews will continue to be murdered by Arabs in the land of Israel for all eternity, unless the Arab transfer takes place. Of course, this is only one principle of the Zehut party. There are others that will make Israel economically stronger, including lower taxes and vastly increased private ownership of land. The time has come to vote Moshe Feiglin into the Knesset, to begin this vital process. Amen!

    The story seems to make one valid point. It appears the IDF was not ready for a continued “Bait” operation with these so called “snipers”. I am reluctant to put them in the skill category of a modern day Sniper, but the tactic of using civilian protesters as bait in order to draw in the IDF member can not ignored. I mentioned this issue after the first event last week and I was not that surprized to see it used again. I’ve not read what the second victim was shot with, but I must imagine it was not the same 50cal type weapon as the first event. Surviving a wound from that level of weapon is very….very…. rare.
