Why would Syria do this. Don't mess with Israel.
This makes absolutely no sense Assad isn't stupid enough to attack Israel out of the blue in the middle of a 4 year civil war
Do we know if it is the Syrian government proper, or just someone from within Syria?
[QUOTE=Géza!;48505029]Do we know if it is the Syrian government proper, or just someone from within Syria?[/QUOTE] Israel is apparently claiming it was a group called "Islamic Jihad" (how original), but they're vehemently denying all of it.
It was probably ISIS, which has done it before to provoke Israel.
[QUOTE=Pilot1215;48505167]It was probably ISIS, which has done it before to provoke Israel.[/QUOTE] Would be odd, since the Islamic State doesn't have much control of that region of Syria.

Something to look into. I need to look at the groups in that area that could be there, I mean, come on, Islamic Jihad just sounds fishy, and having ties to Iran like the tweet said doesn't make much sense. Why would an Iranian group in Syria fire at Israel knowing full well it would further weaken Syria, speaking the Iranians are helping Assad.

One that assumes god will help regardless of how much of an underdog they are.

Someone send in sam fisher to see if the missle was launched intentionally.
