The first duty of a government, any government of any nation, is to protect its citizens or subjects from harm. That harm can come from elements that are internal to the particular state or, as in this case, from outside.
Unlike some nations, Israel puts its own nation’s security first, which is what they should do and what other especially Western nations should do. In order to make their citizens safe, Israel does whatever is necessary and prudent, including, as in this case, killing some pretty nasty Islamic terrorists.
According to a report being carried by the Jewish News Service, the Israeli Defence Force carried out a military operation in Syria to interdict and destroy Hezbollah elements who were planning to carry out drone attacks on Israel. The JNS said that the the IDF had said that the strike killed two Lebanese origin Shia terrorists from the Iran backed Hezbollah group. The IDF named the dead Islamic terrorists as Lebanese Hezbollah fighters Hassan Yousef Zabeeb, 23, and Yasser Ahmad Daher, 22.
JNS said:
The strike was carried out to thwart a planned attack on Israel by Iran-backed fighters using armed drones, the IDF said on Saturday night.
According to the IDF, the Zabeeb and Daher traveled to Iran a number of times in recent years, working on behalf of the Quds Force, under Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) leader Qassem Soleimani.
The army said in a statement that the men traveled to Iran to undergo training involving the use of armed unmanned aerial vehicles, with the aim of targeting Israeli military installations and national infrastructure in northern Israel.
IRGC advisers and drones, reported the army, were flown in to Syria from Tehran several weeks ago.
According to IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, the army had been monitoring the Iranian plot for a number of weeks.
It looks very much as if the IDF have got the right savages at the right time, before they could rain Islamic death down upon the innocent civilians of Israel. This is a great achievement for the IDF and those nations that supplied the intelligence needed to accurately target this particular group of murderous Islamic savages. What Israel has done to neutralise a clear and present threat to their security is what all free nations should be doing when faced with the fanatical followers of an ideology that has for centuries desired the death or enslavement of non-Muslims. They should be hunted down by Western military forces and removed from this world. Well done Israel. It’s citizens may sleep safer at night because of these actions. Israel is at the frontline of a world wide jihad by extremist Muslims but this fight should not be left to Israel alone. All civilised nations need to confront this threat and deal with it with extreme prejudice, as the Israelis have done, in order to safeguard the security of all who live in free non-Muslim societies.
