rooster59 Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Air defences down Israeli missiles near Damascus airport - Syrian state media FILE PHOTO: A poster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is seen on the main road to the airport in Damascus, Syria April 14, 2018. REUTERS/Omar Sanadiki BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian military air defences downed several missiles that Israel fired in an act of "aggression" near Damascus airport on Saturday, Syrian state media said. An Israeli military spokeswoman said Israel does not comment on foreign reports. During the more than seven-year conflict in neighbouring Syria, Israel has grown deeply alarmed by the expanding clout of its arch enemy Iran - a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Israel's air force has struck scores of targets it describes as Iranian deployments or arms transfers to Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah movement in the war. "Our air defence systems thwarted an Israeli missile aggression on Damascus International Airport," Syrian state news agency SANA cited a military source as saying. Witnesses at a major trade fair in the capital Damascus said they saw flares shooting up into the night sky. -- © Copyright Reuters 2018-09-16

LOL At some point some posters may get a basic clue as to the geopolitical reality of the region, and reflect upon nonsense posted. Making up imaginary alliances is fun, though, and so is dreaming up fantastic end-results. Have another one. 6 1 2

But then again, even Russia (Assad's main backer) doesn't seem too phased. Wonder how that fits with the usual pro-Russian stance. And, of course, it wasn't "Damascus" (as in the city) which was bombed, but, apparently, military facilities of a hostile third-party. Most of the people in Idlib are Syrians, and the land is their "own land" as well. 1 1

AsiaHand Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Israel would retaliate with atomic weapons (there are estimates that the count is 400 war heads) and the world is not ready for that 1 1
AsiaHand Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 No other media has reported this so do you believe this ? 1

LOL If You are hating the jews, why do you are not allowing them an independent country, to live on their own? Why do You want to disperse them along the world? At Israel they can defend themselves from the pogroms, and robbers. Or maybe You should like to rob some jews? 2

Nyezhov Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Is there is a report that the syrians downed missiles, that means that somewhere in Syria there are a whole bunch of explosions where those missiles hit the ground. Some countries always claim and ass kicking as a victory.

Some countries always claim and ass kicking as a victory. Not quite. For one thing, such attacks usually involve decoys - whether physical of electronic in nature. So hitting something is possible, but not necessarily an actual missile. As for actual hits - if this was a some years back, maybe not. Nowadays, and with improved systems, it is possible that there are some real interceptions, if not as many as reported. I'm pretty sure that both Iranians and Russians are analyzing the data from such attacks and work on improving countermeasures and interception capabilities.
