Here we go again, Iranian scaremongering and poor, poor Israel.
Nobody is going to launch any form of conventional attack on Israel. Israel has a dirty great big deterrent, NUCLEAR WEAPONS. If by some unimaginable reason they did not use these weapons and they appeared to be heading for defeat, the USA, as they have done before, will make their best weapon systems available to Israel to avert a defeat. Soviet Union vs USA, UK vs France, Saudi vs Iran, just two powers jockeying for influence. It also fits a religious battle a la Protestant & Catholic. Whilst it's in Iran's perceived interest for Hezbollah and Hamas to disrupt Israel continually, it's in Israel's perceived interest for the Iraq / Syria destabilization to continue. The great irony of Hamas is that it received a lot of Israeli support to establish itself as an alternative to the well supported secular Fatah.

Dear Rache,
«The notions that "Jews are God's chosen people" and the "the land was given to them by God" comes from a book written by Jews about Jews.» Is it then the British who are God's chosen people? Was Australia given to them by God? If you criticise other people for not being chosen or granted their land by God, then why not start from home, from your own people who hoard for themselves the whole of one of God's continents, 370 times bigger than Israel!?

"The Israeli analyst said that the exceptional event in Thursday’s clash was that the Syrian radars discovered the Israeli jets as they were flying over the Syrian airspace, noting that one of the missiles which hit the Jordanian territories also embarrassed the Israeli army forcing it to confirm the clash." http://english.almanar.com.lb/214894 “Four Israeli planes penetrated our air space at 2:40 am (0040 GMT) via Lebanese territory and hit a military target on the way to Palmyra,” the army said in a statement carried by state news agency SANA. [I'm assuming it was the Tiyas Airbase.] “Our air defense engaged them and shot down one warplane over occupied territory, hit another one and forced the rest to flee,” it added. “This flagrant attack is part of the Zionist enemy’s persistent efforts to support the terrorist gangs of Daesh,” the Syrian army said, using an Arabic acronym for the ISIL Takfiri group. http://english.almanar.com.lb/216240 Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Sunday threatened to ‘destroy’ Syrian air defense systems after they fired ground-to-air missiles at Israeli warplanes carrying out strikes. “The next time the Syrians use their air defense systems against our planes we will destroy them without the slightest hesitation,” Lieberman said on Israeli public radio.

Dear Critic,
One might perhaps expect that news like this would not appear on the Israeli media (indeed it doesn't, not even a hint, not even in the Israeli Haaretz paper which is known for resisting the occupation and criticising the government), but since it's supposed to involve Jordan, surely stories like this should appear as one of the top news items in Jordan, right? Well it doesn't. The main item on Jordan's news today is about someone being arrested for graffiti, drawing the Israeli flag... http://www.albawaba.com/loop/not-their-kind-street-art-jordanian-police-detain-man-drawing-israeli-flag-irbid-road-951866 You are welcome to try and look for this news on Jordanian news sites, rather than on Hezbollah propaganda sites, total liars which describe themselves as follows: "Launched in 2000, Al-Manar Website was a main tool in keeping up with the victories of the Lebanese Resistance of Hezbollah and the Zionist entity’s crimes before and during its withdrawal from Lebanon in May 2000 and its brutal war on the country in July 2006, especially in countries where Al-Manar frequencies are blocked or unreachable. Al-Manar Website showed a model of media steadfastness in facing the Zionist terrorism and was the alternative interface during the numerous emerging challenges Al-Manar Channel faced, including France’s resolution to block its broadcast, the US resolution to blacklist it, and the Zionist war crime by bombing its headquarters in July 2006 war."

.....Dear Critic,
One might perhaps expect that news like this would not appear on the Israeli media (indeed it doesn't, not even a hint...... Posted by Yuyutsu, Monday, 20 March 2017 12:16:01 AM..... The Times of Israel must be a fake news media then. Or is it an alternative media in an alternative Israel? Posted by Anti-Colonial, Monday, 20 March 2017 12:29:31 AM

It's as relevant (legally and historically) as Goldilocks finding that the baby bear's porridge was "not too hot, not too cold but just right".
It's also as likely that Jesus will return when the Jews re-occupy "their land" and bring about the end of the world, no matter how hard many crazed and deluded evangelicals keep hopefully working toward that end.
