In reply to the discussion: It seems Israel just picked another fight beyond its borders [View all]Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)11. Here, let me put it together for you.
Did Israel's military conduct an attack? Every source - including Israel - points to "yes," the IAF attacked a Syrian government convoy apparently shipping weapons into Lebanon.
Did this attack occur within Israel? Every source - including Israel - says "no," the attack occurred somewhere around the Lebanon-Syria border.
Israel attacked acting agents of another nation's government, outside of its own territory; it attacked another nation.
Now, if you want to argue that it was justified, sure, go ahead, that's an argument that could be made. But you're trying to pretend this never happened. Sadly, even Israel disagrees with you on that.

OP
Consequences are real. Who knows it better than Israel when they inflicts so much of it?
