As many have stated in this posting, between the advanced aviontic packages and superior pilots the Israeli would have, the Syrians would have a hard time at best. The last major squirmish with them found them losing some 50 aircraft, verse zero on the Israeli side.
We are talking about thirty seconds to engage and get out in such tight quarters. Things like speed really mean little in this environment. The airframes agility of course along with how well the pilot can handle the aircraft while at the same time skills in TA and right milliseconds to fire will make a lot of difference.
But quite frankly I do not see Syria wanting to tangle with the Israelis. They cannot be seen as outright aggressors at this point.

Syria prefers to tangle by proxy and pray for an Israeli Nancy Pelosi to come to them offering them what they want for “peace.” They’ll take it and keep up their struggle via proxies.
