Provocation Israelienne?

Syrian media reports a missile strike on the T4 airbase between Palmyra and Homs. • The United States says that must have been someone else.

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/08/middleeast/syria-missile-strike-intl/index.html … • France, too, denies involvement: https://twitter.com/GebeilyM/status/983225392348762113 …

• Israel has, um, no comment. http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Syrian-media-Major-air-base-struck-by-missile-attack-overnight-549216 …

First time #Russia blames Israel for striking targets in #Syria – Moscow also demanded Israeli govt officially explains why it hit the T4 air base – (Israel has hit military targets in Syria many times over the years w/ Russia turning a blind eye)

Israel tries – again – to provoke war against Syria and drag in the US military. 

Israel essaie de provoquer un nouvel embrasement en Syrie , espérant attirer à nouveau Trump dans le conflit alors qu’il vient, il y a quelques jours, de dire qu’il voulait se retirer de Syrie.

Attaque israelienne supposée contre la Syrie

Maxim A. Suchkov
