Israeli news resource Ynet is quoting Syrian media who are reporting this afternoon (Israel time) that an Israeli airstrike has taken place in the Al-Kisweh area of Southern Syria, and area that had been already struck several times before, including just ten day ago. As usual, Syrian media is reporting that their air defenses have been successful in repelling the attack, though satellite photography often disproves these claims in the days after the attack.

If Israel is indeed behind the attack, it would be the first such action had taken place since command of the IDF was assumed by the new Chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General Aviv Kochavi and while Israeli Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Benjamin Netanyahu is on a historic visit to Chad.

Baruch holds a PhD degree from the Technion in Haifa, Israel and an MBA from Northeastern University in Boston. Born in Kiev to Zionist parents, Baruch spent the first ten years of his life in the Soviet Union getting an education in the evils of communism. Though both of his grandfathers were killed defending the USSR against Nazi invaders, Baruch was a victim of rampant anti-Semitism from as long as he can remember, making his departure for Israel in 1973 a very welcome event.

While his career in engineering took him to Boston, Baruch has remained an ardent Zionist and supporter of the Jewish Nation, the Torah, and the Land of Israel.
