Why are the Syrians' faces blurred??

Because sadistic Assad regime can take revenge on them. Palestinian faces in Israeli hospitals are not blurred.

So Assad's forces will take revenge on 5-year-olds as well as their families??

Come on, you very well know that the blurring is part of psychological warfare.

Of course. Tens of thousands people disappear in Syria. Tortured and slaughtered.

Of course. Tens of thousands people disappear in Syria. Tortured and slaughtered.

As I said, the blurring is part of psychological warfare whose intention is to make the Syrian government look bad. Look bad to Syrians and foreigners, especially Westerners who will say "Look at that cruel Bashar al-Assad who kills even 5-year-olds." The intention is to make the case for Westerners to give the green signal to their governments to invade Syria.

Already, the USA government is warning the Syrian government about "chemical attack on Idlib".

But of course you know all this.

 

[Trango Towers]

Ur link is not working. IDF only provided the humanitarian aid.

Didnt hitler do the same humanitarian aid for the jews?

 

[Aramagedon]

If these pigs could they would support wahhabi jihadi salafi terrorists against all of Islamic countries without exceptions.

Revolution, you say.

Funny that in 2011 in both Libya and Syria, there were ready and armed "rebels" who began fighting against socialist "dictators" and began openly receiving political support from NATO.

Sounds like the 80's Afghan war, right??

More nonsense and ignorance from your side. The revolution started in March 2011. In April 2011 Assad started using tanks against people. Yet the first Assad tank was destroyed only in January 2012.

To Push Iran Back, Israel Ramps Up Support for Syrian Rebels, 'Arming 7 Different Groups'

 

[jamahir]

if their names are omar or aisha shure..

Why??

Does it have something to do with al Assad's Alawi ancestry??

More nonsense and ignorance from your side. The revolution started in March 2011. In April 2011 Assad started using tanks against people. Yet the first Assad tank was destroyed only in January 2012.

Nonsense.

I remember an incident from 2011. In Damascus I think there was a sniper shooting at civilians. When he was caught, at first the Syrians thought he was Israeli. But if I remember correctly, he turned out to be a Turk.

And do you have proof about the first Syrian tank to be destroyed in 2012??

Also, what were the "rebels" using to fight against the Syrian forces??

Inside Israel’s Secret Program to Back Syrian Rebels

Israel secretly armed and funded at least 12 rebel groups in southern Syria that helped prevent Iran-backed fighters and militants of the Islamic State from taking up positions near the Israeli border in recent years, according to more than two dozen commanders and rank-and-file members of these groups.

The military transfers, which ended in July of this year, included assault rifles, machine guns, mortar launchers and transport vehicles. Israeli security agencies delivered the weapons through three gates connecting the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights to Syria—the same crossings Israel used to deliver humanitarian aid to residents of southern Syria suffering from years of civil war.

Israel also provided salaries to rebel fighters, paying each one about $75 a month, and supplied additional money the groups used to buy arms on the Syrian black market, according to the rebels and local journalists.

The payments, along with the service Israel was getting in return, created an expectation among the rebels that Israel would intercede if troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad tried to advance on southern Syria.

When regime forces backed by Russian air power did precisely that this past summer, Israel did not intervene, leaving the rebel groups feeling betrayed.

“This is a lesson we will not forget about Israel. It does not care about … the people. It does not care about humanity. All it cares about it its own interests,” said Y., a fighter from one of the groups, Forsan al-Jolan.

Israel has tried to keep its relationship with the groups a secret. Though some publications have reported on it, the interviews Foreign Policy conducted with militia members for this story provide the most detailed account yet of Israel’s support for the groups. All the fighters spoke on the condition that their names and factions not be revealed.

The quantity of arms and money Israel transferred to the groups—comprising thousands of fighters—is small compared to the amounts provided by other countries involved in the 7-year-old civil war, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United States. Even at the height of the Israeli assistance program earlier this year, rebel commanders complained that it was insufficient.

But the assistance is significant for several reasons. It marks one more way Israel has been trying to prevent Iran from entrenching its position in Syria—alongside airstrikes on Iranian encampments and political pressure Israel brought to bear via Russia, the main power broker in Syria.

It also raises questions about the balance of power in Syria as the civil war there finally winds down. With the Iranian forces that helped Assad defeat the rebels showing no inclination to withdraw from Syria, the potential for the country to become a flash point between Israel and Iran looms large.

A spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in Washington declined to comment for this story.


Ps: just humanitarian aid ...
