Lebanon and Syria: Time Pressures Present Themselves After Report of Lebanon Firing on Syria Aerial Warcraft Said to be Invading Airspace

Posted by HCN on Monday, December 30, 2013 Under: Original story post and English
Invading airspace, how it happened, the details of why it happened on a moment to moment case by case basis, has not been accessed.  This article [originally written] still early on after release published article of 2 hours ago.
Referent article in IrishTimes online. 

In the heat of an incident, sometimes it may seem that the incident is isolated or will remain so.  History has taught us, take for instance the Iraq invasion of Kuwait that is credited as the big tip off of the Iraq War about 25 years ago, that hotly involved feuds on geopolitically recognized borders can mushroom exponentially into a situation far larger than what it seemed to be at the moment of the initial.

Over the years, criticism of the Arab World has been in regard to pulling together.

It is evident that Syria warplanes [or warcraft] are contending with the catch-22 scenario derived from combatants and hostilities on geopolitical border fringes, as the border with Lebanon respective to complaints about airspace infringement is not the only one, in the past 3 years thereabout, there have been complaints about airspace over Turkey infringed.  Country land domains being used in different ways by those hostile to Syrian government, somewhere down the line, the countries presiding over those domains react to the airspace situation.

Based on the content of news stories accessed thus far, 1pm E.S.T., it is not clear whether the soldiers that fired on the Syrian warplanes [or warcraft] knew that they were Syrian warplanes.  Communication, surveillance detection equipment, etc., along with a look at the broad circumstance, undoubtedly will probably get investigated.

8:30pm E.S.T., varying reports as to the type of aircraft fired at.  Some reports say helicopters, some say warplanes.  Currently renown news entities have reports indicative that there were 2 helicopters involved.

Key phrases:
  • Arsal

Refer Burma/Myanmar page for air strikes over the EOM February/2026 start of March 2026 time frame. Up for consideration is the be mindful of the whole pie concept. There may very well be a double team set of missile strikes going on on Iran, subject to differing views; however there are still a number of situations going on globally that are weighted, such as violence in different areas of where the Sahel and Northern Africa meet, situations of starvation in the eastern areas of the belt as well; and missile strikes in other regions.
