It became known about the next Israeli air strike on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. Syrian news sources report, that Israeli aircraft carried out a missile attack on parts of the Hama province.
Reports say that, that the Syrian air defense systems reacted to the Israeli missile attack, located in the specified province. SANA News Agency writes about, that most of the missiles fired by Israeli planes were intercepted by anti-aircraft missiles.
These summaries draw particular attention due to the, that it is in the province of Hama that the S-300 systems supplied from the Russian Federation for the needs of the air defense of Syria are deployed. Israeli military command, perfectly aware of the risks for their pilots in this regard, gave the order to strike targets in Hama without entering Syrian airspace.
According to recent reports, Israeli planes fired missiles at targets in Hama from Lebanese airspace. The attack was carried out at about 4 o'clock in the morning local time. At this moment, Israeli aircraft were located near the Lebanese settlement of Halba - northeast of the port of Tripoli. Distance from the Lebanese Halba to the Syrian city of Masyaf, Where, as previously reported, CAA places the S-300 air defense system, is less 60 km. Thus, Israeli aircraft fell into the affected area of these anti-aircraft missile systems. (C-300) the Syrian army.
When crossing the air borders of the SAR, the Israeli combat aircraft themselves would turn into targets with a high probability of striking them from the ground.. But Israeli aviation chose to act again (“providently”) from the airspace of a neighboring state.
The Israeli Defense Ministry traditionally does not comment on the effectiveness / ineffectiveness of these strikes on targets in Syria..
