The Israel Defense Forces carried out airstrikes outside Damascus Thursday shortly after reports of an explosion near one of its nuclear plants.
Damascus fired off an advanced surface-to-air missile that landed close to a nuclear reactor near Dimona, which the Jerusalem Post reported was the longest-range attack by Syria. The report said the country’s air defense system was activated after Syria’s launch of the SA-5, but it was unsuccessful in intercepting the weapon. An investigation is ongoing to identify what went wrong.
The report said Israel responded by striking several missile batteries in Syria, including the one that fired off the SA-5. Syria said it intercepted most of the missiles fired by Israel, RT.com reported. Four Syrian soldiers were reportedly injured.
“The Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression with bursts of missiles from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the vicinity of Damascus,” a Syrian spokesman said.
TREND FORECAST: What was reported but quickly brushed over is the failure of Israel’s top-grade missile defense system to intercept the Syrian missile.
We note this to illustrate that when World War III is launched, it will be the beginning of the end of life on earth.
Not only couldn’t Israel stop a missile coming in from a third-world power such as Syria, but no nation will also be capable of shooting down deadly drone attacks by the tens of thousands, hypersonic weapons, biological warfare, cyberwarfare, etc.
As we have noted, when Albert Einstein (a man who knew a thing or two about atom bombs) was asked what weapons would be used to fight World War III, he replied, “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
Yet, this reality is ignored by politicians, Presstitutes, war hawks, and nations’ military/industrial/intelligence complexes.
