Syrian air defenses repel Israeli strike
For the first time since Russia supplied Syria with an S-300 air defense system, Israel decided to attack the territory of a neighboring Middle Eastern state. However, the Syrian air defense systems managed to repel the blow.
An attack was launched against the Kiswa region of Damascus province. According to the Syrian news agency SANA, as well as the Lebanese television channel Al Mayadeen, the Syrian air defense forces managed to bring down several enemy targets.
- said the official representative of the Syrian army.
Initially, information appeared that an Israeli plane and four more missiles were shot down. Later, the Israeli army said that the plane was not shot down, and on the site RIA News a rebuttal was published.
In any case, the Syrians distributed a video of the Israeli night attack and the operation of air defense systems. Residents of Syria reported on social networks about the explosions that were heard over the area.
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz writes that the Jewish state’s army checks the information about the explosions that sounded in the Golan region (Syrian territory occupied by Israel).
It should be recalled that after Russia transferred Damascus to the S-300 system, Israel did not launch air attacks against Syria for several weeks. The first attempt to "probe" the Syrian air defense after this turned out to be a failure for Tel Aviv. Even if Israel did not really lose its plane, information about the downed missiles was not refuted.
