Israeli officials claim to have destroyed 90% of Iran's military operations in Syria

According to officials, Israel has succeeded in almost completely curbing Iran's ability to transfer weapons to Syria and to manufacture weapons there.

The Israeli military has destroyed about 90% of Iran's military infrastructure and attempts to entrench itself - with Hezbollah - in Syria, top officials in the defense establishment claimed over the weekend.

According to the officials, Israel has in recent years succeeded in almost completely curbing Iran's ability to transfer weapons to Syria, to manufacture weapons on the country's soil and to establish a base in it with pro-Iranian forces.

According to the sources, the plan of the former commander of the Iranian Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani, who was killed by the Americans in 2020, has failed due to the IDF’s continued air campaign against the forces in Syria. The last alleged attack attributed to Israel in Syria was Friday when local media reported that the IDF attacked near the airport in Damascus after about a month of relative silence.

The sources said that despite the tension between Israel and Russia – which recently threatened Jerusalem not to transfer arms to Ukraine - the deconfliction mechanism to prevent Russian-Israeli friction in Syria is working as usual. Periods without attacks, the sources said, are usually the result of an Iranian decision to suspend the smuggling of weapons to Syria, in order to try and find a new route to trick Israel.

The security officials emphasized that the IDF severely damaged Iran's smuggling routes from the sea, from the air and even from the land from Iran to Syria.

As a result of the attacks, the ability of the Syrian army to produce weapons and ammunition has also been damaged since the Iranians and Hezbollah used the same factories for the production of their weapons.

The focus of the attacks in recent years has also been to stop the smuggling of components for CERS – the Centre D’Etudes et de Recherches Scientifiques (CERS) in Masyaf that is used by Iran to produce advanced missiles and weapons for its proxies.

Along with this, the assessment in Israel is that Syrian President Bashar Assad has reduced the activity of Iran and Hezbollah in his country, with an emphasis on the Syrian Golan Heights and the south of the country.

According to sources in Israel, Assad has realized that in the coming years he will not be able to regain territories occupied by the Kurds, including the Turks, and instead focuses his power on trying to restore stability to the major cities with an emphasis on Damascus and the region including the coastline.

Just finished Kim Strassel's "Resistance (At All Costs.) How Trump Haters Are Breaking America."

Took longer than I had hoped due to time constraints. I believe we are on same wave link re my "Mis-Match Theory." 24/7 (radicals) vs once every two years (deplorables.) I commend it to you.  Kim writes well and is thorough and balanced. 

She concludes:

Americans are alarmed by the Resistance folks at all levels of our society, including judges.  Elections should be about policy but the entire political scene has been weaponized.  As for Trump, a vast majority concur with his agenda but are exhausted with the circus he has caused. 

There is much that needs to be revisited and changed, like:

surveillance laws, law enforcement that ensures agencies are not abusing their powers, abolish FISA Courts.

Dept. of Justice must hold employees accountable who break their trust and clarify law enforcement is not solely about throwing people in jail but wielding power with humility and protecting the innocent. (Particularly aimed at FBI.)

She also rebukes judges in lower courts who render decisions based on Trump hatred.

As for politicians who are out of bounds, she pleads voters/citizens - learn what is happening at the local level, act like a consumer and complain when you have a beef. Having lived in England, when she was younger, Kim is turned off by English indifference and failure to insist on accountability.

I got the feeling, from her own summation, she agrees with my radical 24/7 vs deplorable once every two year mis-match theory.

The book itself weaves you through a series of stories and recants about how the Resistance Folks are destroying America and she re-tells Trump's SCOTUS Nominations and other instances where behaviour is beyond acceptance, goes beyond the law and is destructive.

I will soon begin the new autobiography by BIBI which just was released.
