So Israel Really Is Above the Law – No Matter What (#212)
Recently in a news article on BBC* we were informed:: ‘an Iranian drone had flown into Israeli air space from Syria which Israel shot down’, then as additional retaliation to the drone being launched, an 8 plane bombing mission was carried out by Israel to attack ‘Iranian’ positions in Syria’ from where the drone was suspected to have been launched. During this bombing mission an Israeli warplane, an F-16 Fighter Jet, was shot down by Syrian anti-aircraft missile defences. The two pilots flying the plane ejected, but according to the report, were injured, one critically. Israel then retaliated more vigorously the ‘most significant attack since 1982 Lebanon war’, sending another air raid to strike both Syrian and Iranian positions inside Syria.
