Israel shoots down Syrian fighter jet as it entered Israeli airspace.
Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said Russian-made Sukhoi jet entered two kilometers into Israeli airspace when two Patriot missiles were launched to intercept the aircraft. Missiles hit the jet once it had crossed back into Syrian airspace, the IDF said, adding that the military did not know what happened to the pilot of the aircraft.
While Syria claims their plane was conducting raids against "armed terrorist groups" near the southern Yarmouk Valley, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims that Syria had committed a "blatant violation" of a 1974 ceasefire agreement, which defines the lines of separation between the two sides' forces on the Golan Heights.
Whatever the cause of the conflict might be, it should all raise a flag for the global community.
Iran and US as we all know, are going through a huge conflict. Besides, there has been a rising conflict between Israel and Iran + Syria recently, shooting down of drones, military bases, TRADE WAR, etc. Syria has recently been backed by Russia, as Russia provided them with Missile defence system after the 120 missiles launching into Syria's "chemical sites" by France, US and UK. And needless to say, Israel has a close relationship with the US. This is war. They are firing missiles against one another.
What is going on here?
Even the mainstream media, who usually likes to report bullshit are reporting about this, and you educated steemians know that there are so many military conflicts in the Middle East that goes unreported.
US has been trying to cripple Iran recently, and I expect they are doing it to cripple Russia's influence in the middle east, where Iran is their biggest ally. It also seems like a retaliation to the petro-yuan China, Iran and Russia are backing, which undermines the Petro-Dollar. There are a lot of factors at play here. Of course, Russia, Iran and Syria are not going to let them do whatever they want.
If WW3 is to happen, it will begin in the Middle East, and it has already started. There is no doubt, NO DOUBT, that after the conflict is over, we will look at these events that happened today as the catalyst or the indication for the start of the war.
I would like to encourage everyone to do whatever you can to protect yourself and your family, and this is not a fucking joke. War has started, or we are in the middle of it. One wrong move now, and it can trigger a full-scale war between nuclear states. We are naive if we think war will not happen on a global scale again, as we have been at peace for so long. Most of us are all "common" people, we can't do anything to prevent governments from pursuing their own personal or corporate-backed agenda, all we can do is prepare and protect ourselves as much as we can.
Resteem, share, upvote, and I wish for your good health everyone. WW3 is coming, the chain of events that will allow it has already started, its time we prepare for it.
