The conflict between Israel and Iran emerged from the shadows early Thursday morning, May 10, 2018. Forces allegedly backed by Iran fired 20 rockets from Syria into Israel’s Golan Heights positions. Israel replied with 50 airstrikes against Iran’s military infrastructure in Syria.
Israel Katz (Hebrew: יִשְׂרָאֵל כַּץ Yisrael Katz, born 21 September 1955) is an Israeli politician who currently serves as a member of the Knesset for Likud and Minister of Finance. He's also been Minister of Agriculture, transportation, Intelligence, and Foreign Affairs.
Israeli Intelligence Minister, Israel Katz, used a speech to give a more general summary of Syria missions, prompted by a military briefing given to local media earlier in the day. Israel Katz was raised on moshav Kfar Ahim. He drafted into the IDF in 1973. He volunteered as a paratrooper in the Paratroopers Brigade. He served as a soldier and a squad leader.
“Only just now it was published - in the name of military sources, so I can quote it too - that in the last two years Israel has taken military action more than 200 times within Syria itself,” Katz told a conference hosted by the IDC Herzliya college.
In May 2015, Israel Katz was appointed Minister of Transportation and Road Safety and Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy. In February 2019, he was appointed Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs and on 29 May 2019 he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. (6)
A tweet cited a 2018 article by the Reuters news agency in which then-intelligence minister Israel Katz said that Israel had carried out over 200 airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria over the previous two years. (6)
On 2 August 2005, a rocket apparently launched by Islamic Jihad killed a 6-year-old boy and his father in Beit Hanoun. On 26 December 2008 a mortar aimed at Israel killed two Palestinian girls in the Gaza Strip, aged 5 and 12. Israel has protected its citizens with having bomb shelters in every conceivable apartment building and schools. They have warning systems that pierce the air. Being the close proximity to an enemy who shoots rockets and mortars at civilians, Israelis have something like 15-30 seconds to run for cover. (18) It's hard on the elderly and it doesn't help anyone with a heart problem to hear the piercing wailing siren. But it prevents deaths. For every rocket fired, there was a siren and disruption in one's lives.
This is Iran's method of making Lebanon their proxy, fighting against Israel for Iran. "According to regional sources, Israel began carrying out military strikes in Syria in 2013 against suspected arms transfers and deployments by Iranian forces and their Lebanese Hezbollah allies, both Damascus’s partners in Syria’s civil war."(7)
Israel watches air traffic to thwart arms smuggling to Hezbollah through Syria and to other terrorist organizations in other sectors. Shortly after the civil war erupted in Syria, in 2011, Israel demarcated its red lines in the north: It would respond with military force to every attack on its territory from Syria and would act to disrupt the transfer of “tie-breaking” weapons systems to Lebanon.
The fact that Israel pursued this policy actively without getting involved in the war in Syria, and in the general upheaval in the Middle East, is probably the most significant achievement that the successive Netanyahu governments can credit themselves with in recent years.(7)
Iran IRGC Quds force Gen Qassem Soleimani visited Russia and met Putin.
Wikipedia wrote that Qasem Soleimani, Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC); collaborated with Russia to sabotage the JCPOA; The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal or Iran deal; an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program reached in Vienna on 14 July 2015, between Iran and the P5+1 (the five (1)
This shows that Syria is not only under the thumb of Iran, but indirectly, Iran may be under the thumb of Russia as well.
. Jordan often accuses Iran as the cause of instability across the Middle East."
