The Russian news agency RIA quoted in the early hours of Friday a military spokesman in Damascus, which claimed that the systems of anti-aircraft guns had shot down a fighter plane israeli, but the information was rectified hours later to explain that they had been intercepted “four enemy rockets”. Russia has provided a month ago to the Asad regime anti-missile systems S-300, much more advanced that the S-200 deployed until now. The Observatory had noticed that they had heard repeated explosions in the southwest of the syrian capital, without specifying the existence of victims or material damage.
The israeli Armed Forces went out of his habitual silence about the overseas operations to deny the past midnight the downing of one of its planes. A military spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday, however, the fall of the remains of anti-aircraft missiles “during the incident of the previous evening” on the High of the Golan, syrian territory occupied by Israel since 1967, that they were being examined by experts defusing.

The aviation israel has carried out hundreds of raids on syrian territory along the more than seven years of war in the neighboring country. From 2015, the responsible military began coordinating with Russian forces that were deployed in support of the regime’s actions against magazines and convoys of weaponry of the troops and militias affiliated to shi’a. This understanding was shattered last September 17, when a Russian plane IL-20 reconnaissance that he was returning to his base near Latakia, on Syria’s mediterranean coast, was hit by missiles syrians that were repelling an israeli air attack. The death of Kolaybet the 15 occupants of the apparatus was qualified of “criminal negligence” by the Ministry of Defence of Moscow, considering that he had not been informed with sufficient time and accuracy on the operation.
The israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu recently revealed that his aviation has continued launching raids on Syria in coordination with Moscow despite the incident. The syrian authorities, however, had not reported for 75 days of any new “enemy attack”. The information gathered by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has found that it is the first israeli military operation since the downing of the Russian plane by friendly fire in Latakia.
Netanyahu, who had met a dozen times with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, from the end of 2015 to establish and strengthen a system of communication and alert each other in Syria, tried to reactivate immediately the diplomatic contacts. But she could only hold a brief meeting with the head of the Kremlin on the 11th of November in Paris, in the framework of the commemoration events of the centenary of the end of the First World War.
The israeli attacks launched on the night of Monday, occurred a few hours after that the intelligence services of military detected, using satellite images, the landing at the Rafiq Hariri international airport in Beirut, a Boeing 747 cargo of the company’s iranian Fars Air Qeshm. The apparatus civil came directly from Tehran with an alleged shipment of arms for Hezbollah. Israel accuses Iran of facilitating steering systems with GPS accuracy to modernize the missile arsenal of the party-militia, a shi’a lebanese. Hezbollah has over 100,000 rockets of different range, with the ability to make white in almost all the territory of Israel.
