    The Jerusalem Post reports: The IDF fired two Patriot Missiles at a drone that reportedly crossed into Israeli airspace from Syria on Sunday afternoon....

    ...there were reportedly no rockets launched towards Israeli territory...

    Is Israel about to start WWIII? The only country on earth that thinks Syria is Israel are the Israelis. The whole rest of the world recognizes Syria is Syria. Israel claims it was a Hezbollah drone, but who knows with these people and what the hell are they still even in Syria for, let alone setting up a military base there?

    I am loling at:

    According to a Channel 10 report, a Hezbollah source said his organization flew the drone “as part of an operation against Israel.”

    Don't know but according to the BBC tonight they are getting ready to start a hell of a vicious war against Lebanon. Probably genocide.

    The way I see it. The Security Council finally stated that Al Nusra is a terrorist organization ...which everyone knew anyway, but Israel was using them as a boundary between them and Hezbollah. This means that they now can be killed with impunity ...which I'm sure the Syrian forces and Russia will do. So Israel will now have to find another way to battle Hezbollah.

    No one can fly into Syria without Russia's permission, but I don't think there is a problem since Putin has a good relationship with Nentanyahu. He in turn knows that Vladimir Putin is trustworthy and will not do anything that will threaten Israel's security.

    What pisses me off is a lot of this stuff seems overpriced for its effectiveness. If some of these articles are true, it might have been more effective to use cheaper technology or another technique that would actually work than the use of high dollar very advanced weapons that does not seem to be as accurate as advertised. It was probably to small and rinky dink of a "drone" to target correctly?

    Would it be a good strategy to just throw up a bunch of cheap drones before an actual missile attack to overload the system or attack during a reloading phase? The drone in question probably was not very expensive in contrast; its possible it could have cost less than 5,000 dollars depending on its function. Does Hezbollah, the moderate rebels, or even the Syrian gov. man high tech expensive drones? Or is it just crap drones with cameras for intelligence?

    --Two IDF Patriot missiles fired at a suspicious drone that crossed into Israeli airspace from Syria missed their target on Sunday afternoon, and the unmanned aircraft returned to Syria.
    Local civilian security guards briefly set off air sirens in the central Golan.
    --An air to air missile fired at the target by an IAF aircraft also missed the drone.
    Senior defense officials have been on the lookout for Hezbollah activity on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.
    A 14-year-old girl was lightly wounded by shrapnel, reportedly from the interceptors.
    The IDF said no rockets had been fired at the Golan in the incident.

    Israel fired anti-aircraft missiles at an unmanned aerial vehicle that crossed into its airspace from Syria on Sunday afternoon, but failed to bring down the intruding aircraft.
    The Israeli Air Force scrambled fighter jets in the Golan Heights following the launch, the Ynet news website reported.

    hmmm.......since when did Putin needed the Security Council or anyone else approval to bomb whatever target he sees fit in Syria ? I will be surprised if Putin will start to bomb in the Golan area, I think they agreed its Israel area of operation, I dont think Putin needs another "confused" front like he has with the US and the NEW TURKISH EMPIRE.

    Bibi rational is the sec the powers will leave -Hizbi will take over teh South, so I dont see how Israel will just sit and watch as Russia will clear Hizbi opposition (We are not naive to consider them allies), it makes more sense to me that that area is off the menue, but time will tell.

    Let's not forget that Russia and Iran are together and with Israel's never ending BS about Iran, I would not be so sure. China is with them as well, btw.

    More like shoot @. Does nobody else find it odd that the "drone" was able to cross and return after being fired on by patriots and fighter jets? The US also relies on this defense system, its disturbing to me considering it could have been a very cheap drone in comparison to the missiles used to attack it.

    1) Ill ask again, does Hezbollah, the moderate rebels, ISIS or the Syrian government (all potential operators of the drone) man high tech drones at this point?!
    2) Is the patriot and other high priced defense systems capable of defending against small low tech drones?
    3) Would say 20 of these be enough to confuse or overload the systems in place before or during a real missile attack is launched?

    The Patriots both missed. Those babies cost the US taxpayer almost half a million dollars apiece. They missed the drone because it was a toy drone such as you can buy at the mall. It is slow and unarmed and too small to be tracked by the billion dollar Iron Dome system which controls the Patriots. The US taxpayers came up with the billion dollars for the Iron Dome system too. Hezbollah had a good laugh over that one! Uncle Sam is such a sucker.

    The Patriot missiles miss most of the time against rockets from what I understand. "The Drone War has Begun" !

    A drone could be made out of a airplane hobby kit and a go pro. A decent programmer could set it up to show a grid over the field to accurately give targeting information. All in all, about 200$ and you have yourself a pretty useful surveillance drone.

    Ok for everyone who doesn't realize what our favorite new hater is trying to do here, he is once again trying to twist and manipulate what is being said to push his anti Jew rhetoric. What he is trying to say is that the article claims that the Israelis shoot at this drone from INSIDE Syrian territory. That they, the Isrealies, were the ones in Syria. That's why he spouts off about how only the Isrealies think Syria is Isreal and what not. Sam. That is not what the article says. Wether you intentionally (most likely) misunderstood that or did so out of ignorance doesn't matter. Your anti Jew bull(*)(*)(*)(*) fails once again. The article clearly states for all those with some form of intellectual comprehension that the Drone was what came from Syrian airspace, not that the Isrealies were there. It entered Israeli airspace over the Golhan Heights and was thus fired upon. Isreal has committed no crime here. They are not trying to start WW3 with this. Your anti Jew crap was old weeks ago. Grow up.

    I'm sure when you hear the word drone you have the image of a big scary 500 million dollar reaper or predator drone in your head, but most drones are actually very very tiny, as in so small that you launch them by throwing them out of your hand. And patriots are not designed to hit a target that tiny. I can buy a drone on Amazon.com for a few hundred bucks.

    High tech drones? Again. You can buy a drone off the internet for a few hundred dollars.

    Another Holocaust making the billions of Palestinians slaughtered in those industrial death camps look like Sunday School.

    Yes, I heard that China is willing to give up all claims in the South China Sea if only Israel would stop listening to Iran saying they want to obliterate Israel.

    Sam, those are the Neturi Karta, a Jewish sect with a total number of five thousand out of fifteen billion Jews and don't even register on any sort of quorum you are trying to imply. Just thought I would mention that as you have used those irreverent pictures a few times in the past couple of days.

    Say wondering, is the Neturi Karta your sect of Judahism? If so, since you tell us you are a Jew what are your particular beliefs?

    1) The only forces in that area with Drones are :Hizbi's, Assad forces and Russia.
    2) Patriot were never that great, I recall them at the first Gulf war and they kept missing the Scuds, they are not very good now as well, we have them because they come together with the Aid, but the best def are not rockets at all, its our reply.
    3) I think in a real heavy attack miss statistics will work better than def sys and bomb shelters will win the day, Im not worried thou.

    I used question marks and mentioned it could have been a cheap drone. Point being; is that all it would take to overload a patriot missile defense system? We use the patriot missile defense system, its not good if it cant hit but will target and engage toy drones. Toy drones are being used for basic intelligence all over Syria, and again would such drones be able to overload the system? Send up 100 and you have still spent a fraction of the cost of one missile. Will they prioritize real missiles over drones or even be able to engage once they have fired upon toys?

    There's this system, it wasnt deployed in the Golan, Im not even sure if IDF bought it from Rephael, using Patriot on these hovers is like using a boot to kill a fly me thinks.
