Who are the faces behind the dire warnings from Israel’s top military officer of “multiple enemies on multiple fronts”?
Senior defense officials have warned that Israel is facing an Iranian storm that is coming closer to her borders. But who are the men behind the storm? And what has Israel done to stop them?

1) Qassem Soleimani

Born in 1957 in Iran’s Kerman province, Qassem Solemani joined Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in 1979 and advanced rapidly, rising through the ranks during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s to lead the 41st Division while he was still in his 20s.

Considered a military genius, Soleimani was appointed commander of the IRGC in 1997. Until a few years ago, he remained almost invisible to the public eye. But he was busy: In the 1990s, he was responsible for Iran’s anti-Taliban efforts in Afghanistan, and for organizing Iraqi Shi’ite militias following the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. More recently, he rescued the regime of Bashar Assad in Syria.

Considered the head of the snake, Israeli defense officials have named Soleimani as the No. 1 enemy responsible for Iran’s ongoing entrenchment in Syria and its ongoing support for Hezbollah’s precision missile project.

“Our three targets have one address – Iran,” a senior defense source said in August, adding that Soleimani is the address for two of the three threats. While he refused to answer how Israel is deal with the threat, according to foreign reports Soleimani has been the target of several Israeli assassination plots in the past.

How fortunate for Israel that Trump decide to take this guy out, what a happy coincidence.

These men have been fighting ISIS in Syria for years now frustrating Israel's effort to depose Assad.

I have posted this video before but lets see it again. This is the video of Hezbollah blasting and then shooting 75 Jabhat Al Nusra fighters. Kill count on the day was 175 with zero casualty from the Hezbollah side. Do understand that Tel Aviv and DC do not approve this sort of behaviour, they really don't like it when you blast and shoot their terrorists



Video run time is 2:02

But we were told that Trump did it to please US Senators like Graham, Rubio and Romney?

Trump reportedly told associates he killed Qassem Soleimani because he was under pressure from GOP senators before his impeachment trial

The two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

Yes, more like complimentary. Those Senators and Kushner are all in close contact and agreement with Netanyahu. To please one of them is to please all of them. No doubt it pleased Saudi interests too, who are also close to Kushner.

But only blaming the Senators would serve as a distraction or diversion. The media would never do that, would they?
