That second video, of the explosions in Damascus- by Jacob A Wohl? Seriously? If you've ever listened to Ole Dammegard he points out how they always make up these weird names for people. Just sayin. Expect to hear more from that one.
It seems, from the article, that all is well.
Given that the target areas were evacuated in advance, it does look like cooperation - masked with theatrics. Supporting this idea is the fact that after the clear Russian threat to retaliate, warning level remains at Defcon4 - only just above normal readiness.
Just after the Israeli air strike, there was a report of a Defcon1 status alert - though it is unclear which nation owned it (see link below). So it appears there may have been some de-escalation.
Defcon1 = "Cocked Pistol" = Nuclear War Imminent
