Is it any wonder, considering Syria has long been Hamas's ally since before Assad's brutality? Now 10 years on, Hamas has renewed relations with Syria and Assad by convenience because neither recognise Israel's right to exist as a legit nation.
There are lots of rumours and CTs. Even if true, things change, breakdown and entities go rogue.
The bombing of Syria is obviously due to Hezbollah who's been menacing and antagonising Israel.
Aggressor and self-defence is an oxymoron.
Hezbollah is already armed with Russian weapons by Russia (and Iran). It's happening. Hezbollah already plays tagteam with Russia.
They're the aggressors because they refuse to recognise Israel.
