Israel has taken advantage of the chaos in Syria to destroy much of that country’s military capability
Well, that was quick:
Within the first 24 hours, air defense systems and numerous fighter jets were neutralized. This allowed 350 Israeli Air Force fighter jets to operate without interference in Syrian airspace, targeting 320 strategic objectives.
The targets were prioritized by their importance. Missile boats launched numerous simultaneous strikes on two Syrian naval bases – Al-Bayda and Latakia – causing significant damage and destroying 15 vessels. These vessels carried sea-to-sea missiles with ranges of 80–190 kilometers and explosive payloads of dozens of kilograms each. Anti-aircraft batteries, Syrian Air Force bases, and dozens of manufacturing facilities in Damascus, Homs, Tartus, Latakia, and Palmyra were also struck. These facilities housed Scud missiles, cruise missiles, coastal defense missiles, surface-to-air missiles, drones, fighter jets, combat helicopters, radar systems, tanks, hangars, and more.
These strikes followed years of intelligence gathering by the IDF, and the execution was described as flawless. The Defense Ministry estimates that 70-80% of the Syrian army’s strategic capabilities have been destroyed.
It helps to be prepared to take advantage of a change in circumstances. And it helps to have the will to do it.
One thing we’ve learned since the terrible events of October 7 and Israel’s unpreparedness for that day is that Israel has some remarkable capabilities that it’s been demonstrating ever since.
ChatGPT – how much military equipment did biden leave in the afghanistan withdrawal:
Biden should’ve hired Israel to ‘destroy the remaining equipment’…
Except that “Biden” wanted the Taliban to have it.
Gift giving.
You know, “Peace on Earth, goodwill, etc.”…well, a few weeks late.
Remember, the operation was a great success!
And besides, it was all Trump’s fault, anyway….
My Israeli cousin was visiting yesterday, and I showed him an X post detailing some of this, which brought raised eyebrows and a big smile.
Finally, Israel under Netanyahu is acting proactively. Which necessitated a non-verbal but implicit message to ‘Go Pound Sand’ to the Biden administration.
Alas it took a while for Netanyahu to deliver that “Go Pound Sand” message. (And it was a message that “Biden” sent at various additional stages along the way. It will continue being sent until January 20th enclosed in tasteful, gift-wrapped strong-arming.)

“Biden”’s gift-giving, continued:
We saw what “he” gave the Taliban.
And “his” Uber-generosity to the mullahs and their buddies (not to mention “his” extremely generous gift to the Biden crime syndicate)!
Here’s “his” gift—one of many to come, actually—for Trump:
