Israeli Attacks In Syria Against Hezbollah Benefit ISIS

March 20, 2017 Jason Ditz, AntiWar 0

Syria, in response to an attack by Israeli forces, fired anti-aircraft missiles and says that one of the attacking planes was shot down. Israel says that the attacks were aimed, not against Syria, but against Hezbollah. Hezbollah is a military force from Lebanon fighting against ISIS, so these attacks are viewed as an Israeli defense of ISIS.
