Great Job...keep up
4. Hit more planes
Bob   (09.23.14)
Hit 3 or 4 Syrian fighter jets today. God Bless Israel. Hezbollah will lose.
5. State of War
Jake ,   Haifa   (09.23.14)
To David Issa above: Lebanon and Syria are in a state of war against Israel, formally. Neither has any right to complain about violations of airspace or having their jets shot down. Israel understands the same when it crosses Lebanese airspace. The Arabs always want the State of War , just not the consequences.
6. so Israel prefers to have IS on its border ?
ky   (09.23.14)
I would say better the devil you know
7. Well, they started small
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.23.14)
A mortar here; a mortar there. A missile here; a missile there. An aircraft here -- oops! No more aircraft. Don't try it again. We're not going to be drawn into an internecine Arab conflict. We don't like any of you, and would just as soon kill you as look at you. We will even tolerate the odd artillery shell or two; or the odd missile. Send an aircraft, and you're down one aircraft. Understand? Good!
8. Trigger happy psychos
Peter ,   jerusalem   (09.23.14)
A plane crossed the border for 2 seconds, realizes its mistake and goes back to its side of the imaginary line, and is still shot down. Couple that with frequent bombings of Assads installations while nursing back to health "refugees" from Syria and one may get the impression that Israel is indeed, siding with ISIS.
9. David Isa, why does a Christian Arab have a full Jewish name
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.23.14)
and yet hates Jews? Ironic, isn't in for thieves like you?
10. Assad please make peace with Israel
jochair ,   kfar saba Israel   (09.23.14)
Assad you are the president of Syria, noblesse oblige, remember we are all God's children Lews and Moslims alike will benefit from peace, like Jordan and Egypt, you too can be a great man.
11. this is just to funny
zionist forever   (09.23.14)
Israel has just shot down a Syrian jet but the Syrians are praising Allah that it happened rather than calling for revenge against the evil zionist entity.
12. Assad is a fool
CJK   (09.23.14)
he believes that the west is fighting the thugs of islamists to save the assad regime. assad does not understand that he is regarded as an enemy of the west. he is certainly an enemy of israel. he would do well not to provoke a war with the jewish state.
13. ky #6
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.23.14)
We are not supporting either side. We will destroy anybody trying to harm us. There is no difference between any terrorist group and that includes Syria
14. #8 So glad you're not running the military! LOL!
Shlomo   (09.23.14)
Israel cannot tolerate encroachment of any kind. So, next time they fly in and loiter a bit longer...until there comes a time that there is hostile intent and the IDF is too late to deal with the threat. Did you not read the comments by the IDF? Everything happens in seconds. You must be a complete idiot.
15. To: Facebook David Isa
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.23.14)
What do you mean, "infiltrate." Israel owns the skies in the Middle East. The last time someone decided to challenge this rule was 1982 -- the Syrians, in fact. In two days, Israel shot down 82 Syrian MiGs -- quite a few flown by Russian trainers -- without incurring a single loss. See, Israel will tolerate the odd poorly aimed mortar shell, even a missile or two. We'll send the necessary warnings, of course, but we are a generous people and we will let some transgressions pass. But not all. Deliberately fire at an IDF post, and expect to be destroyed (that's happened a couple of times this year). Violate Israeli air space, and you will be shot down. That's the rules. Any time any of our obnoxious neighbors want to test our resolve, bring it on. If you think Gaza's in bad shape, you haven't seen anything yet. Trust me. Of course, we would not necessarily have to freewheel all across the Middle Eastern skies. When the Arabs start behaving like civilized human beings, we will treat them as such. Not unless; not until. It's going to be a long evolutionary climb for the Arabs, but that's okay. We're not going anywhere.
16. #8 encroachment is a way of testing the enemy's
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (09.24.14)
Response. So now the Syrians know the Israelis won't put up with one second over Israel's sovereign lands
17. Touche Sarah B!
Koose E Mack ,   NY US   (09.24.14)
