Published on: Nov 29, 2018 @ 23:08 – DAMASCUS, Syria – The Syrian Air Defense Systems have thwarted off a failed Israeli attack meant to target pro-government forces.
UPDATE NOV 30: Atlanticist media reporting damages to Iranian assets. FRN will be looking at these reports.
The Syrian Air Defense Systems took down hostile targets over Al-Kiswah in southern Syria.
“Our air defenses repelled the aggression and foiled it. Despite the intensity of the aggression, it has not been able to reach its objectives,” a Syrian military source told Kevork Almassian of Syriana Analysis.
“All hostile targets were dealt with and destroyed,” the source added.
To thwart off the attack, the Syrian military relied on the air defense systems located in Al-Dimas. Effectively, this means that the famous Russian S-300 air defense systems in Masyaf were not utilized by the Syrian military. The S-300 was delivered to Syria by Russia after Israel was blamed for the downing of a Russian jet some months earlier in which 15 soldiers had died.
This also marks the first Israeli attack on Syria since the September 18th tragedy, demonstrating that the S-300 was a strong deterrent, and on the first occasion of conducting aggression on Syria since the incident, the air defense system was not even needed to thwart off the foiled attack .
It is thought that the reason Israel decided to attack on this occasion was because Hezbollah and Iranian military advisers have newly established observation points in Quneitra and Dara’a countryside near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. This effectively broke an agreement in which Hezbollah and Iran were meant to be some tens of kilometers from the border.
Meanwhile, other reports of projectiles falling on the Israeli-occupied areas of the Golan Heights.
UPDATE: Sputnik Arabic is claiming that the Syrian air defense systems downed an Israeli jet and four cruise missiles. However, Fort Russ News is not able to verify these reports at this moment, and will do so as soon as there is clarity.
Good on Syria! Tolerate zero Israeli intrusions into Syrian airspace.
Burn the rats.
Stupid comments here…
Really low level.
Do you think this is a football game? Are you guys cheerleaders or what?
I mean FRN deserves better! FRN is a top source I enjoy for years now. From day one.
Dear FRN: I really wish you better commentators. A little bit like the Saker community.
Larchmonter is sadly also not so much around here anymore…
Now flame me pls as… C’mon surprise me at least with some original insults!
.
Comrad Pinnel, how about an original and useful comment from Thou?
In the years 2014 – 2017 I did my best to give my knowledge and information here and elsewere. Under a different nick.
The “people” are different now here…
What exactly is your beef with the comments posted here ??? Posting a waffling post that you have, that does not really mean anything, is IMHO totally pointless. So why even waste your time posting it ?
I hope this can be substantiated as it would be very helpful for the moral of the SAA and the Syrian people.Also it would be interesting to know the class of the aircraft that was used for the intended strike.
If an F35 was brought down, that might be a big embarrassment for USA that has been the driving force of this war to wipe out Syria and replace it with a Talmudic Caliphate.
