A late-night air strike targeting a base in the Syrian city of Hama was carried out by Israeli F-15s, US officials revealed on Tuesday amid calls for retaliation from Iran. Media outlets associated with the Syrian government and Hezbollah initially suggested Israel was behind the attack, but parties on both sides were slow to shed light on the strike.
The three US officials, cited by NBC News, said the strike targeted a base believed to house Iran’s 47th Brigade, along with recently delivered weapons including surface-to-air missiles. Reports on Monday indicated that most of the at least 26 killed in the strike were Iranians.
“On the list of the potentials for most likely live hostility around the world, the battle between Israel and Iran in Syria is at the top of the list right now,” one of the officials was quoted as saying.
A senior member of Iran’s parliament vowed on Tuesday that the country would retaliate against the “Israeli aggression,” according to reporting from Reuters. Iranian military and political leaders have been threatening in recent weeks that any further provocation would be met with a response, after a previous Israeli air strike that reportedly killed seven Iranians.
“We will respond to any aggression on Iran at the right time and place,” Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy committee, told a news conference after meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad earlier this week.
I still don’t believe that they are people out there that think that god has chosen people!!!! Are you still living under a rock???
Ahmed Ismail you serve a god you don’t know, we know our GOD.
Everybody z gods chosen
Israel is an apple of the Almighty God, millions of Iran cannot conquer them. It’s better Iran learn to behave
Why does Iran so hates Israel? Is it due to envy or just plain nonsense?
Idiotically thinking
Iranian , why are you not barking like you always did ? Dont mess with IAF.
Ahmed Ismail all the prophets in Islam were Jews except Mohammed.
Iran are nt going to fight isreal Hezbollah would.
All the enemies of Israel shall be smitten, no one can battle with the Lord!
God’s people vs allah’s people
For sure, iran wont dare to wage war agsinst israel, due to economic reason. To sustain a war, any nation must have a sufficient economy so as not to hamper the huge spending brought about by war. All iran can do now is threat israel of a retaliation which will never ever come.iran can not & will never win a war by continously threatening israel with war.
What proof do you have that these are God chosen people
Why would you fear call Israel the chosen people of God when those are the same people that killed Jesus and are involved in taking land that dont belong to them. They have the worst human rights violation in the world. What religion do you belong to or do you worship satan?

I agree…they wipe iran and syria…japan probobly wipe china….i warned you china….dont be stupid in small neighboring country….stop quareling….love and peace for the benefits of the whole world….
You cannot kick against the goads. God reveals Himself through the nation of Israel. Only Muslims could not perceived the sign written on the wall. They are blinded with their fanaticism based on their belief that Muhammad received its revelation from Allah. But in reality it was Satan who had influenced his thought to go against the will of God. Their gospel is to destroy the Jews and Christians around the world. In places where there is a large population of Muslims…its breeding ground for troubles and deaths.
