CC#2 Israel Jet Fighters Strike at Syria

Posted on BBC, "Syria 'Confirms' Israeli Air Strike but Disputes Target", this article was written by January 31th, 2013. Posted to describe and tell us the events of what Israel did when they did an airstrike against them.


Over in the area around Syria, tensions are growing and the people fear invaders. "The attack came as Israel voiced fears that Syrian missiles and chemical weapons could fall into the hands of militants such as Lebanon's Hezbollah. Israel is fearful that the weapons could come into the hands of the Lebanon's Hezbollah, a terrorist organization who could use those weapons against Israel.

The situation is fragile and with this, the scene may change in the near future. As written in the article "However, an attack on the Syrian side could cause a major diplomatic incident, they say, as Iran has said it will treat any Israeli attack on Syria as an attack on itself." Since Israel struck against Syria, Iran may intervene and if it does, chaos will ensue. With tensions flaring, the middle east is becoming much more dangerous.

Quoted from a Syrian Official "Israeli fighter jets violated our airspace at dawn today and carried out a direct strike on a scientific research center in charge of raising our level of resistance and self-defense." Israel is very worried about weapons getting into the hands of much worse enemies. They are even willing to violate another country's airspace to stop the weapons from getting stolen.

Israel is very fearful of the weapons getting into the hands of terrorist. So they are deciding to destroy the weapons so no one could get them. They are taking this very seriously and are may make cause war in the middle east more dangerous.

With the situation getting out of hand and weapons possibly going into the hands of the terrorist. This reminds me of when we thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. To prevent anything from happening any further, we decided to attack directly and ignore the consequences.
