Moscow condemns "vicious provocative" attacks; both runways in Syrian capital hit three times; Israel has accused Iran of using civilian flights to transfer weapons to Hezbollah

In an unusually bitter condemnation, Russia lashed out at Israel Friday following a pre-dawn strike blamed on Israel at Damascus Airport.

An Israeli satellite intelligence firm published images showing significant damage to the the runways, which it said disabled the entire airport.

Russia's Foreign Ministry on Friday evening condemned the "vicious practice" of Israeli strikes on civilian infrastructure, which it said were "provocative" and "in violation of the basic norms of international law"...

These assholes routinely and deliberately attack civilians but are mad about an airport strike used by the Mullahs to arm terrorists.

Russia doesn’t like destruction of civilian infrastructure?

As it levels Russian speaking Ukrainian cities?

No no. Russia has a skirmish with Israel over their ‘allies’ who are not worth defending. Do you thing Russia will challenge the Israelis? They’re not stupid republicans.

The situation is what it is right now.

Israel’s government hangs by a thread as it faces the “security” challenges.

Russia is invested in Syria and I actually think part of the reason for prodding Ukraine to successfully provoke Russia is to get back at Russia for stopping the British-US backed jihadists from taking over Syria when they tried to overthrow Assad.

Meh…

Russian military in Syria is informed by Israel of these kinds of attacks, to avoid accidental direct confrontation. The Russian bluster is meant to maintain good relations with Syrian government. But it’s still risky all around!

Israel destroyed the incoming weapons, much of the runway, and the control tower.

I watched Amir’s update earlier. Love how he keeps us informed what’s going on with Israel and the Middle East.

Israel to Russia. “Back off pal. Who do you think you’re talking to? Ukraine”?

This raid by Israel has more to do Iran’s nuclear program than happenings in Syria. Knocking out those runaways could be a precursor to the Raid on Iran. It serves the purpose to let Russia know not allow Iran use of her military airfields in the ME at this point in time. The back channels between these two nations will result in an agreement to give Israel the airspace for in-flight refueling on a larger scale than most see as a strike on Iran - their nuclear program is spread out between three locations, and personnel are billeted in 3-4 more. Any strike on facilities will also be accompanied a heavy infrastructure strike on housing locations for chief military officers and civilian scientists.

I will take a long shot guess right now on the agreements to allow that IDF mission to go forward - Russia will help Israel/West bypass the Air Defenses and Radars in exchange for some type of measured agreement to cease military operations in the Ukraine. The Ukraine will be prevented from attacks for 12-18 months or the formation of a new government.

Israel has long stated that they burn, raze or engulf in flames the city of Damascus if Tel Aviv is targeted by Syrian with unconventional weapons.

Will the USAF and USN also fly stealth sorties in support of Israel’s Iranian attack?

The opportunity for Russia (France, Italy & Germany + N.Korea) to continue selling Iran nuclear components will continue for many profitable years to come after their current program is destroyed.

Russia is going to invade Israel whether they want to or not. Whatever speeds it up is OK by me.
