Israel bombards Gaza and House Speaker latest: Morning Rundown
NBCMAY 2023
Israel launching bombs into Syria shouldn't be a surprise, as this is merely a continuation of a war that has been ongoing since 1948. Israel doesn't target civilians but rather military infrastructure — including chemical weapons facilities — to stop Iran from using Syrian land as a proxy to recruit young men into their forces. Israel has a right to defend itself.
It's true that no one should be surprised by Israel bombing Syria In the name of "stopping Iran," as Israel has neutralized these airports many times, including once in May, in which three people were killed. What should be a surprise is that during these heightened times, Israel would risk provoking an escalation in the region.
