Israeli Incursions into Lebanon and Syria


Update included !

Latest news from the Jerusalem Post are pointing at most recent operations of Israel's air force and which are probably directed against alleged Hezbollah activities in Syria, at the same time threatening Hezbollah locations in Lebanon.

Earlier on Friday, the Lebanese army announced that on Thursday, May 24, five Israeli Air Force planes circled above Lebanese territory for some 15 hours altogether. According to the report, most of the flights took place in the southern and northern regions of Lebanon, but one of them was mentioned to have circled above "all regions of the country." No offensive action or operation was said to have been carried out by the aircraft.

On Thursday, Syrian state media said a military airport near Homs had come under missile attack which was repelled by its air defense systems.

"One of our military airports in the central region was exposed to hostile missile aggression, and our air defense systems confronted the attack and prevented it from achieving its aim," state news agency SANA said.

SANA earlier reported sounds of explosions heard near the Dabaa airport, about 12 miles southwest of the central Syrian city of Homs and 6 miles from the Lebanese border.

Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Kone Faulkner, when asked about reports of the attack, said the US-led coalition fighting Islamic State in Syria did not carry it out and the coalition does not target Syrian government positions.

The Lebanese artist Akram Zaatari was representing his country in the 2013 Venice Biennale with “Letter to a Refusing Pilot”. The film and video installation was inspired by French existentialist writer Albert Camus’ epistolary essay “Letters to a German Friend”, from which it takes the following quote: “I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice”.

By the way, US president Trump has not definitely excluded a meeting with Kim Jong-un
in June, maybe after recent emotions cooled off. However, this change of mind is neither
astonishing nor worth some fresh news tag. Let's just sit and wait what the little bird in his
head will twitter next on this subject.
