1. No namable officials have confirmed anything.

Israel does not comment on what happens in Syria and Lebanon. And Syria does not really need Israel to do anything to "retaliate". They are still officially at war with us. When will our Journalists do their job properly?

When the supersonic cruise missiles come screaming in at mach 3, altitude of 50 feet, the "Iron Dome" might as well be an ATM for all the good it will do.
3. Iron Dome

Why announce where they are deployed? Why not also tell the enemy what time they turn them on & off and who is assigned to them?
4. WHY BLAME CHRISTIANITY & JUDAISM?

WHY BLAME CHRISTIANITY FOR CENTURY OLD IRISH (CATHOLIC) AND BRITISH (PROTESTANT) TERRORISM? And Israel for Terrorism in the Occupied Territories (Palestine)? Individuals, not religions, carry out inhuman acts. Islam is a religion of peace, accepted and practiced by more than 1.25 billion people worldwide. It is the fastest-growing religion in the world, and if it was what some critics claim, why should the people from all walks of life from around the world keep embracing Islam? Where is the sword now? In Islam, a person has the right to defend himself, his family, his country or his neighbor(s), which justifies the resistance being offered by the people of Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya, Iraq, Kashmir and Palestine, to attacks on their soils by the so-called liberators, who are actually the occupiers. The Holy Qur’an clearly states that if a person saves one life, it’s as if he saved humanity, and if a person kills one human being, it’s as if he killed humanity. What is happening in the enslaved Muslim countries is a natural reaction to occupation, bombings, killing and terrorizing of innocent civilians (children, old men and women), rapes, in addition to looting of resources, national antiques and artifacts, above all destruction of property by the occupiers. Terror breeds terror. We assure those who bash Islam that if there was no occupation in this world by foreign invaders, there would be no resistance – the so-called terror. We would like those who criticize Islam to explain the following acts committed by the Christians on Jews, other Christians and Muslims alike, throughout history: - Hundreds of thousands of Muslim men, women and children killed by the crusaders, who were Christians. - Inquisition of Jews and Muslims from Spain by Queen Isabella, a Christian. - Millions of people killed by the European and American Christians during the two world wars. - Hundreds of thousands of Christians killed every year by the Irish Christians, including the British and the IRA, both Catholics and Protestants, during the past few centuries. Why are they not blamed to be “Christian Terrorists?” Both of them believe in Jesus Christ, who told them to turn the other cheek, and both of them believe in the same Lord, Who commanded that “Thou shall not kill.” Period. - Timothy McVeigh, who bombed the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, was a Catholic. Are all Catholics terrorists? Last but not least, the bombings, killings, rapings and lynchings of both American Indians and black slaves (Afro-Americans) during the past 200 years in the United States. What about them? Will those filled with hate for Islam blame Christianity for the above inhuman acts by Christians in various parts of the world since its inception? If not, then why are they blaming the religion of Islam for what is a natural reaction to occupation of Muslim countries by foreign invaders? Most importantly, these folks should know that the three great Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – have one common basis, and that is one God Almighty. “All men (and women) are created equal, and we all are one nation under Almighty God,” is a statement according to the Holy Qur’an and is very well elucidated in the U.S. Constitution. Lastly, yet importantly, as brothers in humanity, we recommend those filled with hate get an education in the history of Islam and Muslims, before they dare to write nasty letters full of personal, ingrain hate and vendetta. We would be pleased to provide anyone with free copies of the Holy Qur’an and Islamic literature in English, which would help them to understand the truth about Islam and Muslims and get rid of hate from their systems, God willing. May God Almighty show you the light, Amen.

To answer your question, never! Syria has continued the war, via Hezbollah, without enduring any retaliation, give or take a nuke site or two.

Although the IDF wisely deployed 2 Iron Dome batteries to the north, there is only a very slim chance that Syria will fight back. They're mired in a civil war and they know that Israel's intention was not to attack the country or the regome. The sole purpose of the attack was to stop Hezbollah from receiving Iranian missiles which are sent through Syria to reach Lebanon thecamelshumpblog.com

only against weapons transfers to terrorists. Tell that to the BBC whose Jerusalem correspondent yesterday was plugging the line of 'a significant escalation in Israel's involvement in the Syrian conflict'
