This article presents an interesting contradiction: while on one hand factually acknowledging that a) Israel has sent rockets into Syria 100+ times over the past several years, and b) this is the first time Syria/Iran have ever responded by returning fire (which is why I ultimately rate this article as Trustworthy) -- it also seems to editorialize that both sides in this conflict are somehow equally to blame, when any objective analysis of the facts presented leaves it clear who is the overwhelming aggressor.

For the most part, the article's reporting is solid. 1 problem I have: 1) the headline is way over the top and does not match the content of the article. It creates the feeling that war is imminent when really it is unlikely.

This article provides a lot of the factual events and context around the military escalation between Israel and Iran, days after Trump abandoned the Iran Nuclear Deal. I appreciate that the author let readers know that not all of the facts are in yet.
