IDF: Iran’s Al Qods aimed the Fateh-110 missile at Golan, which Iron Dome intercepted ......
January 21, 2019
The ground-to-ground missile aimed at the Golan on Sunday, January 20 was fired by Al Qods and made in Iran, an IDF spokesman said Monday.
It was a Fateh-110 missile that was launched from a point in the Damascus region whichRussia had promised would be kept out of bounds to the Iranians.
The missile was intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome air defence system. It may be recalled that last year, Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, affirmed that the Iranians had withdrawn deep inside Syrian territory, more than 80km from the Israeli border.
IDF army spokesman Brigadier General Manelis said in a statement on Monday January 21 that Sunday’s missile attack on the Golan was aimed at civilians and carried out by the Iranian command – not local militias.
For the first time, an Israeli military spokesman named the Al Qods Brigades (of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards under the command of General Qassem Soleimani) as being present in the Damascus region.
He said the Iranians “had planned the attack in advance for the purpose of deterring Israel from continuing its operations against them,” stressing: “This was an Iranian attempt to attack Israel.”
Manelis said that, early Monday, January 21, Israel, in its most extensive offensive hitherto against Iranian sites in Syria, had struck 10 targets, including “an important weapons warehouse” near the civilian section of “Damascus International Airport” and, in other locations, an Iranian intelligence site and an Iranian training camp in Syria’s south.
Some Iranian military facilities were embedded in Syrian military compounds. A series of secondary explosions were set off.
Manelis said: “We warned the Syrians not to fire anti-aircraft missiles at our planes during the strike and they chose to fire anyway.” The IDF had responded with three waves of air strikes against the Syrian batteries.
The IDF spokesman made no mention of Russian involvement in Syria’s air defence operations against Israel.
On Monday morning, the Russian army issued the following statement: “Syrian air defences destroyed over 30 cruise missiles and guided bombs when repelling the Israeli air strike”. The statement added that 4 Syrian soldiers had been killed in the Israeli attack and 6 injured.

Pope Francis unveils new ‘Click to Pray’ app......

Are you there, Pope Francis? It’s me …
The “Holy Father” [not] launched an app called “Click to Pray” on Sunday that’ll allow the world’s 1.3 billion Roman Catholics to join him in prayer. Rome’s idiocy continues to deepen.
The pontiff has a profile on the Android and iOS app that shows Roman Catholics around the globe what he’s currently praying for. Users can then click an icon to indicate that they’ve prayed with him.
Thousands of faithful watched Sunday as Francis — who once said he was a “disaster” with technology [not to good on theology either?] — showed the app on a tablet at his weekly address in St. Peter’s Square.
“Did I do it?” Francis asked an aide after swiping on the tablet.
Still, Francis said the internet is a way “to stay in touch with others, to share values and projects and to express the desire to form a community.”
He specifically called for young people to download the app and pray with him — especially during World Youth Day 2019 in Panama, which begins Tuesday.
The pope then told crowds he had “two pains in his heart” that he was currently praying for: victims of the car bomb blast at a police academy in Colombia and the 170 migrants from Libya and Morocco who died in the Mediterranean.
The app is available in six languages and has an accompanying website, clicktopray.org.
