The Russians were active with an air attack at the other end of Syria the other day.

Not sure if this is tit for tat but DEBKA has dissed Russian activity in Syria as allied with its enemies Iran and Hezbollah.

Naharnet reports this was a hit on a Hezbollah weapons storehouse: http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/235738-israeli-strikes-hit-hizbullah-weapons-depot-by-damascus-airport-monitor-says

That sounds plausible.

Naharnet to me, is close to the best unbiased source to read about things over there and they are in Lebanon right on Syria’s border... but that’s just for me, others may choose other sources.

This story is not being widely reported yet.

Second recent Israeli air strike in Syria. Both went into the heart of the pretty sophisticated Russian-supported air defenses. Two thoughts: 1. the Israelis have sophisticated equipment and tactics; 2. I hope these strikes don’t tip off the Russians to all of our own capabilities to the extent they review and upgrade again.

Had nothing to do with the Russians and everything to do with the Golan and Lebanon.

May also be a response to Syria/Iran taking down a drone.
"2nd SAA AD Buk-M2 missile being fired against a 2nd Israeli aerial target. (Also a hit)"

Russia arms Iran, votes in Iran’s favor at the U.N. and does the same for North Korea.
