Thank you. But I just don't think it was an accident. If it were I think Israels response was fair and reminds Syria to be more careful.
32. Sarah, I'd love to have some of what you're smoking
JB ,   Rehovot Israel   (11.11.12)
Confidence is great Sarah, but Afghanistan was A LONG time ago for the Soviet Untion, and as you can see, no one can subdue the Afghans with the minimal force that invaders constantly employ. The U.S. is learning that now. Don't get cocky. Russia put down Georgia's little Israel inspired adventure in a few days, and Georgia will never regain those territories. The Russian navy is built to fight the U.S. and China. They could subdue Israel in under a week, probably 3-4 days.
33. the title is completely incorrect, '73 was not the last time

34. in 2006 Israel destroyed Syria's nuclear reactor
the mad zionist ,   sf-ny-is   (11.11.12)
I'm pretty sure that's considered firing into Syria Jake
35. my bad, misread the second paragraph
the mad zionist ,   sf-ny-is   (11.11.12)
the first time since the army fired into Syria. I assumed the air force was considered part of the army, I still think that but I'm told I'm wrong
36. Please tell us how progress of 4 Soldiers

As long as Uncle Sam gets his cut he will be happy. Taxes by law are supposed to be paid on earnings and not wages. Wages are an equal exchange. Your time in exchange for what you are worth. Laws mean nothing as long as the government gets what they want. Go ahead and report away. Nobody is going to listen to your drivel.

Afghanistan may have been long ago but the Soviet Union was stronger then than it is now. Their navy may have been built with the intention of fighting the U.S. or China but that doesn't mean it's capable of winning. Nobody can subdue Israel now or ever.
39. the syrians do not fire on us, the terrorists do
in the hope that ,   we attack syria   (11.11.12)
40. Make sure it hits an empty field to make your point of
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.11.12)
how polite you are when under fire.
41. We should only fire warning shots
Ehud Barak ,   Defence Minister   (11.11.12)
I promise I won't do more, I wouldn't want to inadvertently hurt any Arabs, I love them so much. Jews are fair game of course. Love, Uncle Ehud
42. Sara B = Disloyal American.
John Robey ,   Austin, Texas   (11.11.12)
MOVE TO ISRAEL
43. To Sara B
Ben ,   Israel   (11.11.12)
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
44. Don't you see the discrimination?
Jew1 ,   Ashdod   (11.11.12)
2 or 3 rockets and our government is taking action to protect it's north citizens. And what about south? They don't even deserve a proper news coverage (aruz 10 news gave more time to report about fashion show but very very little coverage on suffering of south people). South citizens suffering is a daily life. Why care for their trouble? No need to act!!!!!!!!
45. A missile as a warning shot? Try artillery, it's cheaper!
Shlomo ,   USA   (11.11.12)
46. "Rally Arabs behind him"
Arab1 ,   Beirut   (11.11.12)
This statement is so blind to how Arabs feel about Assad. After all the massacres he's committed, if Assad takes over all of Israel, Arabs would still consider it an occupied territory. Assad is as hated as any war-criminal Israel has had in power, including Sharon and Netenyahu if not more so.
47. # 44
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.12.12)
I dont know when you read Arutz 7 but there are at least 2 articles now on their main page about the rockets hitting the south. Try re-reading.
48. Since 1973? WRONG!!!
Vlad   (11.12.12)
There were a lot of artillery exchanges and and there was also aerial combat between Syria and Israel in early 1974.
49. Than goodnes they clarafied this the first time fired into
ben   (11.12.12)
Syrian territory since 1973 I knew that it was Mickey Mouse who bombed the suspected Nuclear in Syria a couple of years ago. I guess you can say the IDF is not the IAF Kinda goes along with the whole propagana theme, You know So called ocupation and all
50. #45 Shlomo
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (11.12.12)
There is a difference, a missile can be aimed precisely at a specif target. Artillery fire has to "walked" to the target, it can never be precise on the first salvo IDF-Artilleryman who knows the difference
51. #42 John Robey - Return Texas to Mexico
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (11.12.12)
then feel free to criticize the actions of other, you flaming hypocrite
52. #1 Edouard
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (11.12.12)
Sorry, I hadn't realized that you were in the front lines defending Israel
53. #27 Most Israelis sympathize with the Syrian people
Zvi   (11.12.12)
al-Assad has never "protected Israel's border". He was simply smart enough NOT to start another suicidal war against Israel. In such a war, Assad knew that his own army and air force would be severely damaged. Now al-Assad is shooting at Israelis from Syria. Israel can't allow that to happen. If Israel lets such attacks go without response, then these attacks WILL escalate until the only option will be a major war. Israel doesn't want a major war with Syria. So if someone fires at Israelis, Israel will fire back, hoping that this will convince commanders on the ground not to do it again. On the other hand, if Syrians DON'T attack Israelis, then Israel WON'T fire into Syria. So Syrians have complete control over what happens, which is a pretty good position to be in. If your friends want to avoid getting killed by Israeli fire, all they need to do is to avoid shooting at Israelis. Threatening Israel won't make any difference, and hitting back will just draw harsher fire. But none of that matters, because all that Syrians need to do in order not to get killed by Israel is -- not attack Israel! That should be pretty easy.
