I get it. You have no problem with Syria, which is at war with Israel, allowing Iran to use Syrian territory to attack Israel but you think it is "beyond the pale" for Israel to prevent these attacks by bombing Iranian military facilities in Syria. It makes no sense in the real world, but apparently in your head it does.You have no idea what percentage of the rebels are foreign or what percentage of the Assad forces are foreign or how many Sunni Syrians support Assad.Double bullshit on you. The so called rebels were mostly foreign Sunni jihadists coming from over 80 countries world wide. That's not a fucking civil war.
That's an invasion.
Financially supported by SAQatar and originally Turkey and backed by the US and the CIA trying to put the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood in power.
Most Sunnis in Syria support Assad and his government. Did you know that Assad's top generals are Sunni and Christian. That's why his army never turned on him.
All are treated well under Assad. Including Kurds. Arab Spring was complete bullshit. Just an attempt to turn a secular government like Syria's into a Wahhabi theocracy.
As to Israel having the right to bomb Iran in another country that's beyond the pale. If she wants war, bomb Tehran .
As for Israel's right to bomb Iranian military assets that threaten it in Syria, despite numerous offers to return the Golan to Syria in return for peace from every PM from Rabin to Netanyahu, Syria has chosen to remain in a state of war with Israel, so Israel has a legal right to bomb any military asset in Syria and especially Iranian military assets since Iran has been attacking Israel continuously through its proxies.
For crying out loud the stats and the information is out there on ISIS and al Nusra. From the get go very few "rebels" have been Syrian. I've been following this bs Arab Spring since the beginning. It was totally bogus.
As a matter of fact the key military officers in ISIS were from Chechnya. Here you go. Oh and please notice the stats are from 2015.
UN: 30,000 foreign fighters in Syria and Iraq
The risk of attacks in countries of origin is growing, top official says.

Almost 30,000 foreign fighters are believed to be in Syria and Iraq, and many pose a significant threat to their home countries, the head of the United Nations’ Counter-Terrorism Committee said Tuesday.
“The number of foreign terrorist fighters is very high,” said Jean-Paul Laborde.
“There are nearly 30,000, and now that the territory held by the Islamic State group is shrinking in Iraq, we are seeing them return, not only to Europe but to all of their countries of origin, like Tunisia, Morocco,” Laborde said, AFP reported.
Laborde called upon countries to put in place a “filter system to distinguish between the large majority of [returning] foreign fighters who are not dangerous and those who are.”
The number of foreign fighters joining Islamist groups In Iraq and Syria in 2015 was twice as high as in the previous year, a study published in December showed. The EU countries with the highest numbers of foreign fighters per head of population were Belgium, France, Germany, and the U.K.

NOW as to your assertion that Israel has the right to bomb any country that threatens it willy nilly, that is so far beyond the pale I can't wrap my brain around it.
But hey, if they want to start a war let them keep bombing countries they feel threatened by. I personally would prefer not to witness another ME war, but if she wants to start one, go for it.
But I sure as hell don't want to see the west involved in any more ME bullshit. We've done enough damage to last more than a few generations.
I can’t think of any valid reason why Israel should allow hostile, foreign Islamic terrorists to use Syrian territory to launch military strikes.
Iran has been helping Syria rid itself of the terror groups we backed to overthrow Assad. There are Iranian military forces in Iraq as well.
Not one military strike against Israel. Over 130 strikes against Syria by Israel.
I think it’s a mistake to believe that the Iranians have any interest in Syria other than to advance the Iranian agenda, which is, to advance Shiite influence. As you probably know, the Sunni Moslem tribes are watching with real fear.
My first reaction after reading through the Sunni Arab worlds' so-far unsaid panic is that the Islamic Middle East is edging toward a very ugly internecine killfest between these two groups of hateful nutbars (Sunni and Shia) from the seventh century. God knows they deserve each other. May the best oxygen-wasting band of degenerates win—and then lose.
