JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said on Monday that it struck and destroyed an anti-aircraft battery deep in Syria after it had opened fire on Israeli jets flying over Lebanon — the first such incident of Syrian forces targeting Israeli planes since the civil war began in 2011.
Military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said Israeli planes were on a routine reconnaissance mission near the Lebanese-Syrian border when they came under fire. They were not hit and returned to base safely.
In response, Israel hit a Syrian anti-aircraft battery about 50 kilometers (30 miles) east of Damascus and “incapacitated” it, he said.

What is the point of these anti-aircraft batteries if, as it seems, they can be destroyed by Israeli aircraft at will? I think that the Syrians should ask for their money back.

Thanks Mr. Mojo.
When Turkey does it, it's *just terrible*, but it won't be long before Putin's shills start singing the praises of the Iraqi "militias".
