After Israel attacked the Assad regime's military positions in response to projectiles fired from Syria that exploded inside Israel, Russia called on Israel to show restraint and has allegedly given Syria permission to shoot down Israeli planes that cross into its territory.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has called on Israel to "show restraint" and to "avoid any provocations" in the Syrian Golan Heights.
"There is the need to show restraint and not to allow any provocations in the Golan Heights," Lavrov said commenting on an airstrike carried out by the Israeli jets in Syria's Golan Heights on Tuesday, according to the Russian TASS news agency.
Israel has carried out several airstrike against the Assad regime's military positions in recent days in response to projectiles fired from Syria that exploded inside Israel. At least 11 projectiles have exploded in Israel in the past two weeks - spillover from the Syrian civil war being waged along Israel's northern border.
Despite President Bashar al-Assad's multiple crimes against his country committed over the course of five years of warfare, Russia has offered close support to his regime and has sent military forces to support his retreating army, even at the cost of Russian lives.
Lavrov posited that the situation in the Golan Heights reflects the overall destabilization of the Middle East and the growing terrorist threat that needs to be countered.

So what’s new. Mooses are hiding behind Bears.
It’s not like the Israeli air force has not met such a challenge before, though.
Thanks Lera very interesting development.
“————has allegedly given Syria permission to shoot down Israeli planes that cross into its territory. “
Allegedly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who knows if it’s true.
.
Shoot them down with what?
Given that Syria, fired missiles at Israeli jets last week I’d imagine it is
not good, but I do NOT believe Putin would be so stupid as to do that
for one thing, Putin has a working agreement with Jerusalem concerning this matter, and its been working just fine for both
and Syria’s air force is a joke ... anything being possible, they maybe might be able to score a hit on the IDF but if they ever did, they’d be dead ducks and they know it
(Putin knows even his own very good air force could not defeat the Israelis, and its among the very last ways he wants to waste his military resources ....)
I think this report is just more of the smoke that gets blown during wartime operations. we will see
Great, not, for sure.
The world awaits its false messiah Antichrist with a 7-year “peace” plan dividing Israel and celebrating “3 great faiths” via the False Prophet.

Score: Israel 86, Syria 0.
fyi
Pastor JD’s update this week is on how Russia is trying to force Israel into a peace deal with the fakestinians ...
goes into detail of all that is going on and how they walked out on a UN meeting etc , worth listening to

He is trying to force a peace deal
He wants to control the area
Don’t put anything past him .
I think Putin might try something like that someday but right now he has his hands VERY busy fighting the Moslem terrorists ...
he can’t afford to screw around with more Moslem terrorists than the ones he already has to contend with in Syria and inside Russia
we will see what the future may bring, tho.....
Some Russians included in that 86. There was lots of radio chatter in Russian, and I doubt they were immigrants from Russia who had the skill to fly MIGs.
Well, they can try. The Syrians ought to carefully consider that though. The Israelis retaliated for being fired upon. The Russian advice is to fire at them more? They start engaging the aircraft, that will probably open up the ROE for the IAF. Syria stands to lose a lot of air defense assets.
Yes, Israel does have the finest air force in the world.
The thing I worry about though is the Russian S-400 systems deployed in Syria.
I highly doubt Syrian forces have control of those S-400 batteries though.
What could happen in the near future if Obama keeps hitting the Syrian forces though is Putin announcing a no-fly zone over Syria. This would cause a showdown that would lead to US warplanes being destroyed by the S-400.
WW3
Russia gives Syra permission to get all its airplanes and runways rubbished.
