Israel ‘giving secret aid to Syrian rebels’, report says
Direct funding, food, fuel and medical supplies allegedly provided by Israeli state to keep Isis and Iranian-allied forces in neighbouring civil war at bay
The radical jihadism is more or less a red herring to divert attention from the governments that run the insurgency. It allows the Saudis, Europeans, and others to use Syria as a dumping ground for criminal elements and wreak chaos. The effective fighting is being done by foreign mercenaries with experience in previous civil wars under the command of the CIA and other foreign intelligence agencies.

You left out the most important part:

Israel has allegedly provided Syrian rebels with substantial funding and aid in order to maintain a buffer zone in the Golan Heights
Better to spend $60,000 over the course of a year, then spending $100,000 to blow up each rocket/missile that comes across the border using the Iron Dome.

It is a safe zone to which they can retreat. It's been reported on in the past that Israelis and rebels coexist in the occupied Golan Heights. There are attempts to create them in other parts of Syria.
And it looks like they massively missed the target (1 sort of made it).

For all the talk this morning about the Iranian ballistic missile strike on an ISIS target in Syria, the real story is that 6 out of the 7 missiles that Iran fired failed to actually hit their intended target.
so, to all the folks who insisted in thousands of posts that trump was putin's pet-
how do you explain this current situation?
Trump lied. He said he would stay out now he's going in. A no fly zone for Russia even though Syria and Iran have given Russia the ok? Everyone should be afraid of trumps foreign policy. First helping our enemy, Al Qaeda, by bombing Assad after he said he wouldn't get involved in other nations civil wars. Now this.
The blame doesn't go to the anyone but hillary crowd. The blame goes on the republican voters who won him the primary in the first place. They elected the 2nd worst candidate to face off against the worst candidate.
It's a shame no one warned us about this beforehand.
Is leaving a vacuum run by savages in a crucial part of the world a good idea?
It's only crucial because of cheap oil. If we put a dollar amount to what we spend to control it, that oil might not be cheap at all.
