what I meant was that you will not find a confirmation of what happened...

Yeah, Israel needs to stay out of this purely Syrian, internal matter...and let Syria, Iraq, Hezbollah, the PKK, Turkey, Russia, Iran, the United States, the UN, and ISIS's foreign fighters sort this out privately without any outside interference.....

People want to take sides on this, both sides are shit, my only support would be for the original protesters that wanted democracy, they've been drowned out by idealists from both sides.

There are various sources on this but they all point the finger at Israel.

I'd say it is directed at Hezbollah and that a lot of advanced weaponry has already made its way to Hezbollah. Missiles fired from inside Israeli airspace. Would expect this will continue until deployment of a shield in Syria. Assad can afford to leave it and finish the civil war.

It has devolved into a contest primarily between Assad's forces (and their Russian allies) and ISIS/jihadi forces supplied with equipment captured in Iraq and donated indirectly by the Obama Administration. Secondary players also in the fight would be the PKK/Pesh Merga and the original pro-democracy factions. As in any war, the nice guys are finishing last.

It most definitely is justified. They are tasked with protecting their citizens and soldiers from foreign harm. Leaving known weapons caches near their border is about as negligent as they could get. They did the right thing and me thinks you just do not believe Israel has a right to exist.

You assumed wrong.

War is never the right thing, its a necessary evil. But if it isnt necessary, its just plain evil.
