About 300 tents, 13 tons of food, 15 tons of baby food, three pallets of medical equipment and medicine, and 30 tons of clothing and footwear were transferred.
In recent days, there has been a doubling of the number of Syrians staying in DP tent camps on the Syrian-Israeli border following the recent campaign by the regime army with support from the Russian contingency inside Syria against the rebel forces on the Golan Heights.
These camps are located near the Syria-Israel border, where several thousand Syrians have been living in poor conditions without access to water, electricity, food or basic necessities. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that since the start of the Assad army and Putin air force offensive in Daraa more than a week ago, more than 120,000 people have fled their homes.
Russian warplanes reportedly bombed five hospitals to the ground in rebel held areas around Daraa. The Observatory for Human Rights reported that overnight Friday Russian warplanes carried out intensive raids on the towns east and west of Daraa, along with helicopters dropping explosive barrels on civilian neighborhoods in Daraa city. This bombardment, many hours after a ceasefire had begun, coincided with ground-to-ground rockets of the Syrian army fired at the towns east of Daraa countryside, together with heavy shelling by the regime armored corps.
The IDF said it was monitoring developments in southern Syria and preparing for a variety of scenarios, including the continued provision of humanitarian aid to the fleeing Syrians. However, the IDF stressed that it has no plan to permit the passage of displaced Syrians into Israeli territory.
Hundreds of new tents were seen in the DP camps, and there is heavy traffic of trucks carrying people from the fighting in Daraa.
A resident of Quneitra in Syria Israel’s Channel 1: “The humanitarian situation is very difficult, there are about 200,000 displaced people who make their way to the border with Israel and the border with Jordan, but the borders are completely closed. The local councils help displaced people set up camps.”

You won't find this story in the mainstream media. However, if the Israeli IDF should shoot someone who is flying an incendiary kite or helium balloons over the fence that lights a fire to burn hundreds of acres of crops or forests and kills livestock and wildlife in Israel, it will make sensational headlines across America. "WAR CRIME - ISRAELI IDF MURDERS....."
I checked. You're right. Nada!
Of course not. They won't pass up an opportunity to demonize Israel, and will totally ignore the good things that Israel does, the benefits they have brought and continue to bring to the world. We need not wonder why world-wide anti-Semitism is increasing, which is why Israel is so important to be secure and continue to exist as "a home for the Jews" (the very words as said at the time of Partition).
Let's hope it's just a time-zone hysteresis... Maybe tomorrow...
This is not the first time I have pointed out the media's anti-Israel bias, and how they do it. I was the editor of my university newspaper for two years, and it won the cross Canada weekly university newspaper first prize both years, and I know just how they demonize Israel, the methods they use. I explained it a while back with respect to how they word their headlines, and how they bury the true facts lower down in the story - I know those tricks, but most people who read the newspaper have no clue how they've been misled. The fact that they simply ignore the positive and sensationalize and exaggerate and front page banner the negative does not get past me.
This morning, there is still nothing....
Of course not, Bob, that's because it's about something good that Israel did.
You may also notice that NOT one of those persons who criticizes Netanyahu or the Likud government has posted one fucking word on this article - all they can do is post HATE, demand that military aid to Israel be terminated, support BDS, but not credit Israel for anything they do that is good. Mind you, other than yourself and the member who thumbed up our comments, nobody else gives a shit anyway.
In this, as in so many topics... people simply refuse to see anything that doesn't fit with what they already "know".
It's an attitude that I cannot understand: purposefully extinguishing one's own brain.
