Right, so Israel invaded Syria and lost the phone.

Not a metaphor. Not a joke. Well, it is a joke, unfortunately for the IDF, tiny violin time again, but it’s also the news.

Israeli forces went into Abdin, in southern Syria’s Daraa province and the locals said to themselves we’re not having this. Residents blocked roads. Stones were thrown. Young men and boys were apparently among those throwing them and the IDF ran away. The soldiers had to pull back amid the confrontation, and then one classified military communications device somehow ended up exactly where a classified military communications device is not generally meant to end up: with Syrian civilians.

So yes, they lost something. Boy did they lose something.

Not a lunchbox. Not a water bottle. Not one of those little morale patches soldiers collect so they can look  ...
