"Israel hosts NATO naval drill"
"Six NATO frigates commanded by a Turkish admiral arrived Monday in Haifa for a joint drill with Israeli Navy missile boats.
"During the visit, a demonstration of naval capabilities took place, as well as an exchange of information on a range of topics," the Israeli military said in a statement.
Israel has been shoring up ties recently with NATO as part of preparations for any future showdown with Iran.
For the first time, Israel this year posted a naval liaison at NATO headquarters in Napoli, Italy."
"Forgive me, but where in the NATO mandates or charter does it say anything about its working with Israel against Iran in a potential military confrontation?
And where does that put NATO relative to its already chilly relations with Russia?
The NATO high command had better do some really critical thinking right now.
Because if they don't they just may get suckered into an Israeli "false flag" operation (of course, blamed on Iran), from which there can be no retreat, putting NATO on a military collision course with Russia." -- Mike Rivero of whatreallyhappened.com

Syria is expected to follow the drill closely, as the London-based Arab newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi suggested Wednesday that Damascus perceives it to be part of Israel's preparations for a comprehensive Israeli strike on it."
"Translation: we may well be looking at some sort of "false flag" chemical attack by Israel against its own people to start a war against Syria, Iran, or both." -- Mike Rivero of whatreallyhappened.com
"Report: Syrian reservists called up for fear of Israeli strike"
"Syria is preparing for a comprehensive Israeli strike which will be combined with an attack on Hezbollah, sources in Damascus have told the London-based Arabic-language al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper.
The sources, which refused to reveal their identity, reported that Syria was closely monitoring the movement of Israeli forces along the northern border.
The newspaper reported Wednesday that Damascus viewed the Israeli media reports and statements made by senior Israel Defense Forces officials as incitement and attempts to prepare the Israeli and global public opinion for a war against Syria.
The sources added that the Syrian forces were conducting wide-scale military maneuvers and have called up reservists in preparation for an Israeli attack.
In addition to the military preparations, the sources said, Damascus has raised its security alert level for fear that Israeli forces would infiltrate its territories through one of its bordering countries, mainly referring to Lebanon...."
