**Of course I would call Israel’s measures offensive, as they are attacking Syria relentlessly!**

**Democracy soaked in blood.**

> However, on Thursday, **U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sulivan backed Israel, emphasizing that its actions in Syria are defensive** and aimed at preventing hostile jihadists from posing a threat or launching attacks against Israel.
> 
> ***“What Israel is doing is trying to identify potential threats, both conventional and weapons of mass destruction, that could threaten Israel and, frankly, threaten others as well,”*** Sullivan assessed.
> 
> ***“The Israelis have been clear about what they’re doing and why they’re doing it,***” he told media representatives at King Hussein International Airport in Jordan.

**The plan is falling into place. The US is 100 percent behind this Israeli move into Syria**

> Both Israel and the United States are concerned that hostile jihadi forces will take over Syria and potentially attack Israel’s and Western interests in the Middle East.
> 
> **In an unprecedented military operation, the Israel Defense Forces reportedly eliminated about 80% of the former Assad regime’s military assets, including fighter jets, helicopters, vessels and tanks.**

**Hostile jihadi forces? No. Western Proxies? Yes.**

> UK-based Observatory for Human Rights says Israeli jets struck 17 times in Damascus area overnight, targeting missile storage facilities; IDF says targeted electronic warfare systems

> Overnight, the Israeli Air Force conducted at least 17 air raids on targets near Damascus, including the airport in Qalamoun and missile storage facilities in Aleppo, according to Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen. The report also claimed an attack on a scientific research institute.

**The amount of death and destruction makes one shudder in horror.**
