As Syria Devolves, Israel Rampages

Notes

¹"There is still much that is not known about the attack, and there have been contradictory descriptions of it since it was carried out. ..reports, both in Time magazine and the Israeli press, suggest there were multiple attacks conducted at roughly the same time." (NYT)

"the IAF had targeted at least one or two more targets overnight Tuesday and that the US has given Israel a green light to carry out additional strikes." (Jerusalem Post)

"While some analysts said the Assad government might be providing the weapons to Hezbollah as a reward for its support, others were skeptical that Syria would relinquish such a sophisticated system." (NYT)

"But there are reasons to doubt whether the antiaircraft equipment was truly heading to Hezbollah. Outside experts like Ruslan R. Aliyev, an analyst with the Center for the Analysis of Strategy and Technologies, a defense research group in Moscow, said the SA-17's were too sophisticated for Hezbollah to use and would be easily detected. He also said such a transfer would alienate Russia and make it impossible for Moscow to sustain its support for Mr. Assad's government." (NYT)

"Israeli airstrikes carried out last week, ... will not be the last, the sources warned." (ICH)

"The US was prepared to carry out similar airstrikes in the Aleppo area if opposition forces threaten to take hold of sites believed to contain weapons of mass destruction in the region." (Jerusalem Post)

³Which is why you don't hear about it much in the American media.

"[British journalist] Martin [Chulov] said the suspicion among Aleppo rebels was that the opposition jihadist group Jabhat al-Nusra was responsible for yesterday's rocket attack on the university, which killed at least 87 people." (The Guardian}
