The Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets and military bases in Syria early Thursday morning after Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at army outposts on the Golan Heights overnight.
Israel attributes the Iranian attack to members of the Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. No injuries were reported as a result of the strike on Israeli territory. Several rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system.
The counter-attack, the army said, was being carried out by army jet planes and some of the strikes are hitting targets deep within Syria. The military warned Syria not to use anti-tank missiles against its airplanes, saying that should they be deployed, the IDF will also hit Syrian anti-tank apparatuses.
The military further noted that the attack was specifically targeting Iranian posts in Syria and not in Lebanon; therefore, security assessments indicate the flare-up won’t spill over to Lebanon.
Nonetheless, the army is preparing for the option that Hezbollah will try to intervene in the exchange of fire and strike from within Lebanon.
The army warned that any attempt by Iran to hurt Israel will meet a tough Israeli response.

על רקע זיהויים חריגים בקרב כוחות אירנים בסוריה, הוחלט לחדד את הנחיות ההתגוננות במרחב רמת הגולן ולהנחות על פתיחת מקלטים.
יש להישמע להוראות שיימסרו ככל שיידרש.
הושלמה פריסת יכולות ההגנה וקיימת מוכנות גבוהה של כוחותנו. אנו ערוכים למגוון תרחישים. כל פעולה נגד ישראל תענה בתגובה חריפה pic.twitter.com/ijx05iEVmV— צבא ההגנה לישראל (@idfonline) May 8, 2018
HaShem helps IDF
ur poetry is beautiful and right on target, pun intended. may Hashem continue to rain His brachos down on us, now and forever.
I’m Yisroel have no fear moshiach will be here this year we want moshiach now we don’t want to wait
remember that
US Representative Yvette Clark voted for the Iran Deal, despite representing a district (Crown Hts, Flatbush, Midwood, Sheepshead Bay) with many pro-Israel Jewish. voters.
Since there is a very small turnout of about 10% in the local democratic primaries, if Jews vote in high numbers in the democratic primary, pro-Israel can be advanced.

What was heard in tzfat was not rockets , there was no alarm and there was no need to go for shelter
It was from the iron dome system
Which is close by
But none the less it’s pretty shocking
This is it the final war before moshiach comes!!
She’s studying in beis chana tzefat (Chitrik) and the girls apartment biulding at 3 am last night shook and the rockets could be geard… many ran to the shelters so scary at such a young age to be exposed to such traumatic events i really hope it goes nack to normal!! #prayforourgirls
20 missles fired at israel. Iron dome intercepted 4 and rest landed in syria. Heavy action against damascus which the rebbe wanted israel to conquer in yom kippur war
And the rockets red glare, Iranian armements blowing up every where , gave proof through the night that hashem is everywhere 🙂
יחי המלך👍👍👍
Lag b’omer peulos are continuing in Syria.
We are asking hashem to protect and assist our brothers and sisters in eretz yisroel. And hashem will do it( sicha lag b’omer 1967 still resonating)
We rely that Rabbi shimon bar yocha is doing all he can.
