Loud explosions have been heard close to Syria's capital Damascus overnight, in what the Syrian military says were Israeli air strikes on a weapons depot.

A Syrian military official told state media the depot was hit, and three soldiers were injured. Syria said most of the missiles were intercepted.

Israel has not confirmed the strikes. It said it activated its air defence systems to bring down a Syrian missile.

There were no casualties or damage to property in Israel, the military said.

4. Oh, Swell

Netanyahu is in political trouble back home with corruption so he is looking for a little military action to bolster his standing. And Trump accommodates the bad boy of the West. That is sure to rile up things a notch or two. What is a little more spiraling out of control with the markets already teetering. Hold on to your hats.

5. Nothing new.

Israel has been hitting Iranian weapons depots in Syria for some time now, they want the weapons destroyed before they make it to Hezbollah or Hamas, or over to the Syrian border to be fired directly into Israel.

6. Yeah... Why should Israel defend itself ?

They really should allow themselves to be sitting ducks.
