If the Russians didn’t fire on the planes it means the Israelis cleared the attack with them ahead of time as has happened a few times before.
They do have that agreement.
Ultimately, Assad likely doesn’t mind Hezbollah being kept weakened and in check without him looking like he is going after them directly.
Really ..?? If Israel could fly all the way to Iraq and destroy their nuclear installment; I have no doubt the F-35 could more than do the job before anybody even knew the planes were in the air.
Yes, Russia has that agreement; and that’s also why they voted on that anti-Israel UN Resolution which they did, but the Putin worshippers won’t even mention that.
That’s conventional wisdom. It could very well that they didn’t either. Was the U.S plugged in on this? Wonder how loud they’ll howl.
Why would Russians care to see munitions destroyed? It;s not like they are insured. They'll just sell more!
Nothing to worry about. Russian ammunition destroyed so they cannot go to Hezbollah. It's absurd to think Israel clears these things with Putin before it defends its right to exist as a nation.
