Suicide mission……

I like Kay Wilson’s tweet on the Daily Mail’s headline:

ISIS fighters target Israel for the first time and are obliterated by warplanes after firing rockets at soldiers 

Israel had been hit by a stray artillery shells from the Syrian civil war but this is the first deliberate attack on Israeli forces

  •  Four jihadi gunmen were shot dead when they tried to take on Israel today
  •  Attack took place in the Golan Heights in Syria, occupied by Israeli troops
  •  Israeli general: ‘They know exactly what the Israeli response would be’ 

Four ISIS gunmen were killed today after they opened fire on Israeli soldiers in their first attack on the occupied Golan Heights.

The Israeli soldiers were targeted with machine gun fire and mortars but were unhurt and fired back.

But the gunmen – believed to come from a group called Shuhada al-Yarmouk, which is affiliated to ISIS – were killed by an Israeli air strike on their vehicle.

Israel Defence Force spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner, said the soldiers were from the Golani Brigade.

Since the beginning of the Syrian civil war in 2011, stray shells have hit Israel but today was the first deliberate attack on Israeli forces.

Nitzan Nuriel, a retired Israeli general, said: ‘A direct attack like that on Israeli activities on Israeli side of border – this is the first time.’

He said he was baffled what lay behind the attack and said: ‘They know exactly what the Israeli response would be. An Israeli front is the last thing ISIS needs at this stage.’
