Russia: Syrian air defense nearly hit passenger plane after Israeli attack

[JPost] - The Russian Defense Ministry in Moscow claimed that the Israeli attack on Syria, which killed at least 23 pro-Iranian gunmen in the middle of Wednesday night, put a civilian flight at risk, according to Yediot Aharonot.

An Airbus A320 with 172 passengers on board made an emergency landing in Russia-controlled Khmeimim air base after Syrian air defense nearly hit it, Russian state news agency RIA said on Friday citing Russian defense ministry spokesman.

...According to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, at least three government Iranian positions near Damascus and west of the capital were targeted. Syria’s official SANA news agency said the Israeli strikes came in two waves and hit the al-Kiswah area as well as Marj al-Sultan and Jisr Baghdad.

The first wave at 1:12 a.m. "targeted some of our military positions in the suburbs of Damascus," SANA quoted a military source as saying. The second wave at 1:41 a.m. "targeted military positions in the surroundings of Dara’a, Quneitra and Damascus countryside with a number of missiles fired by Israeli warplanes from the airspace in southern Lebanon and the occupied Golan."

#5 That's an advertisement for a movie I won't name, since getting people to share it was the entire idea of creating it in the first place.

"Nearly hit it"? What does that mean? An airliner is a sitting duck for any air defense system. How do you miss something like that?

#6 It means that if there are any problems as a result of this, that they are to blame the Joos.
