On Friday, Israel killed at least 13 people, including two children, in the Damascus countryside town of Beit Jinn.
The latest air raids came after locals tried to repel an Israeli military incursion into Beit Jinn, leading to clashes.
Israel claimed it was going after members of the Jamaa al-Islamiya, Lebanon’s branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
However, rubbishing the Israeli claim, the group said it was not active outside Lebanon.
Here’s everything you need to know about the attack in Beit Jinn and the context behind it.
‘War crimes’: Deadly Israeli raids on Syria spark outrage
What happened?
The Israeli army’s 55th Reserve Brigade raided Beit Jinn in the early hours of Friday morning, ostensibly to take three Syrians who live there, claiming they were members of Jamaa al-Islamiya and that they posed a “danger to Israel”.
However, the incursion did not go to plan. Locals resisted, and six Israeli soldiers were wounded in the resulting clashes, three of them seriously, according to the Israeli army.
Israel then sent in its warplanes.
“We were asleep when we were woken up at three in the morning by gunfire,” Iyad Daher, a wounded resident, told the AFP news agency from al-Mouwasat Hospital in Damascus.
“We went outside to see what was happening and saw the Israeli army in the village, soldiers and tanks,” Daher said. “Then they withdrew, the air force came – and the shells started falling.”
This was the deadliest of Israel’s more than 1,000 strikes on Syria since the fall of the Assad regime.
Ishmaels in Bolehland please take note. The Catholic Papa just said Mass in Turkey and included the "A" word. No issues there apparently. No frothing and foaming at the mouth.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time in history, the Pope led a mass using a Turkish hymn — and even included the word Allah.

DeleteErdogan "generously" allocated a stadium for the Papa to say mass.

First Christian prayers outside of a church in Turkey.
Before his arrival, a speaker says Erdogan “generously” allocated the stadium for the prayers.

DeleteNow, THIS is ethnic cleansing and genocide:
ReplyDeleteThe number of Christians in Turkey has drastically declined over the last century, from an estimated 4.5 million in the Ottoman Empire before World War I to a modern-day population of around 150,000 to 250,000. This sharp decrease was due to a combination of factors, including massacres, forced deportations, and the population exchange with Greece.
Historical trends
Pre-World War I: An estimated 4.5 million Christians lived in the Ottoman Empire.
1923: After the founding of the Republic of Turkey, the Christian population dropped to an estimated 250,000.
Modern Day: The number has continued to decline. Today, estimates suggest a Christian population of around 150,000 to 250,000 in Turkey.
Turkiye is NOT the same as the Ottoman Empire which stretched ALL THE WAY FROM THE tUKISH pENINSULA TO NORTH OF aFRICA TO sPAIN, AND FROM THE tURKISH (aNATOLIAN ) PENINSULA INTO AS FAR AS THE aUSTRIAN BORDER
DeleteKT just described the largest colonizer empire ever, maybe bigger than the Roman, Mongol or Brittania Empire...ha3.
DeleteThe Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (now renamed Istanbul) was once the largest cathedral in the world, the pride of Christianity. But now a mosque.
ReplyDeleteJust like the Temple of the Mount, the most Holy of Holies to Isaacs the Ishmaels must plonk a Dome on top and bar Isaacs from praying there.
It's like saying Katholiks cannot pray at the Vatican.
Is there no respek whatsoever?
The Hagia Sophia was converted to a mosque in 1453 after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, but was converted back into a museum in 1935 by the secular Turkish government. In 2020, the Turkish government once again converted it into a functioning mosque, a decision that was met with both support and criticism.
1453: The Ottoman Empire conquered Constantinople and converted the Hagia Sophia, which had been an Eastern Orthodox cathedral, into a mosque. It was used as a mosque for nearly 500 years.
1935: The secular Turkish government under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk converted the building into a museum, removing its status as a mosque.
2020: A 2020 court ruling led to the Turkish government changing the Hagia Sophia back into a mosque and opening it for Muslim worship only.
just one glaring fart of - Hagia Sophia back into a mosque and opening it for Muslim worship only.
DeleteFor many visitors in Istanbul, visiting Hagia Sophia is a must.
BTW, any archeological diggings ever confirm both the Temple of the Mount & Holy of Holies ?
Ah yes, the largest Ishmael COLONIZER of Palastin too.
ReplyDeleteSilly me!

DeleteThis is how much value they place on their children's lives....the terrorists deliberately use children to perform dangerous military tasks
ReplyDeleteand when they are killed cry murder....
Listen from beginning to end, as a Gaza boy testifies how his cousin and he were coerced by a Hamas unit that raided their family home to go act as forward observers on IDF troop movement in an abandoned building in Gaza City. “For Hamas, our lives are cheap, they have no value.”
