As Syrian imposed leader Assad wind downs killing his opposition he will divert any resources to attacking Israel. This will be done so as to get a strong military response from Israel that will appear to “kill civilians” and he believes will unite his people to his side. While at the same time divert world attention from the slaughter of innocence he has caused.
Israel must respond to such provocations but in a way that puts this evil man back into his box. It must locate most of Assad’s missile program then put the air force on a seek and destroy mission. Israel should also warm Assad (through it’s back channels) that it is more then happy to supply his waning opposition with the resources to continue the fight and bring it directly to his front door, if he continues such provocation. With a new man in the White House that will look the other way when Israel responds, Assad should realize that if he continues to play with fire he will put his regime into the ashes of history that it deserves sooner rather then later.
