[R-G] What did Israel bomb in Syria?

[CeJ]

For me the more interesting question is: why did the western
media--the sort of idiots fed by 'intelligence community sources' to
write about such things--make such a big deal out of this particular
Israeli incursion?

It may or may not have something to do with military cooperation
between Syria and N. Korea. Wow, Seymour H is an analytic genius,
isn't he?

I would suggest that this particular bombing run was a reminder from
Israel that: they can intrude on Syrian airspace pretty much anytime
they want.

And that Israel knows but does not want to publicly acknowledge that
the reason Hizbollah kicked the Israelis butts in the nasty summer war
/ campaign to destroy Lebanon was the strategies and weapons used.
These strategies go back to 1973 and Egypt's thorough rout of the
Israeli military on the battlefield (Israel was saved by superior air
power and total US intervention and the Soviet Union forcing Egypt to
back down).

The Israelis--like their American sponsors--really can't seem to learn
anything from history. But this time around we know that neither
Hizbollah or Syria produced the advanced shoulder-held weapons that so
unhinged the Israeli high-tech war machine. Those could be produced,
for example, by Russia, Iran or China--or possibly N. Korea (I really
don't know, but it seems a country that can produce a rocket with
possible nuclear warhead payloads could produce shoulder-held RPGs and
wire-guided rockets).  (Yugoslavia and Iraq are out of the market
now). So we have to ask, who produced them and who supplied them--and,
who delivered them? And how were they delivered?

It seems to me that this hyped up Israeli raid was merely a reminder
that Israel knows where Hizbollah got the weapons. If similar weapons
made their way to the Resistance in Iraq (that is, armour-piercing,
armour-defeating  hand-held weapons), then the US occupation would be
in much deeper trouble. And if similar weapons were supplied to Hamas,
Israel would have a much harder time going ahead with the officially
covert but fairly obvious plans to depopulate Gaza and the West Bank
to make lebensraum for the Zionist Reich into the next millennium
(very ambitious for a country that has been around about a half a
century).

A similar fuss has been kicked up over the ability to lay into road
beds armour-piercing shaped charges that are augmented with
projectiles. But Iraqis would know how to do this from way back--back
to the days when they did it to fight Iran to a standstill. And even
Hamas has this basic infantry and guerilla tactic mastered. I'm sure
Hizbollah made good use of this tactic in the war, but the defeat of
the Israelis has more to do with the handheld and other mobile weapons
, which Hizbollah and its Sunni allies put to devastating effect at
'choke points' when the Israeli forces moved their vehicles and then
on highly dispersed battlefields once the Israeli forces moved in to
claim the territories their air forces had already bombed.
