BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syrian President Bashar al-Assad declared on Tuesday that his country was at war and ordered his new government to spare no effort to achieve victory, as the worst fighting of the 16-month conflict reached the outskirts of the capital.
“Video published by activists recorded heavy gunfire and explosions in suburbs of Damascus.”
When I thought about this, I wondered perhaps some group launches an attack on Israel from Damascus, perhaps Iran has groups in there, trying to get to the weapons and use them. This way the attack on Israel is by proxy and Iran can sit back and act like it didn’t do anything. I don’t think it would work out so well either way, but it seems like the possibility could be there. In return, Damascus is destroyed.
