Russia makes presentation to Israel after strike near airbase in Syria
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Russian Defense Ministry made a representation to Israel after the strike carried out near the Khmeimim airbase in Syria. This was stated on November 13 by the Russian President's Special Representative for the Syrian Settlement, Alexander Lavrentyev.

"Israel did indeed carry out one airstrike in the immediate vicinity of Khmeimim. That is, it did not strike directly at the airbase, because this, naturally, would have had very negative consequences, including for Israel," RIA Novosti quoted the diplomat as saying.

He clarified that, according to available information, the strike hit a certain warehouse.
Oh? Iranian, Syrian, or Hezbollah?
The Russian Defense Ministry noted the inadmissibility of such actions, which pose a potential threat to Russian military personnel. Lavrentyev expressed hope that the incident would not be repeated.
Perhaps Russia ought to gently suggest to Iran/Syria/Hezbollah that it would be thoughtful of them to store their IDF-attracting stuff farther away from the delicate Russian army.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, since October 1, Israel has been conducting a ground operation against the Shiite Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon, while simultaneously continuing to bomb Syria. On November 10, at least six people were killed in an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) airstrike on the Sayyida Zeinab neighborhood in southern Damascus. A residential building was attacked.
Sayyida Zeinab is Hezbollah territory, a regular IDF target since Hezbollah reared up on its hind legs to join Hamas in attacking Israel. And now they’re paying for their pleasures.
On the night of November 8-9, the IDF Air Force attacked targets southeast of the city of Aleppo in Syria. Several Syrian soldiers were injured in the attack. According to Al Hadath TV channel, the strike was carried out on the As-Safira industrial zone. Journalists noted that military enterprises and defense warehouses are located there.

In September, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called on Israel to stop armed provocations against Syria and to refrain from actions that could lead to uncontrolled destabilization of the situation in the Middle East.

The statement by the Foreign Ministry spokesman was preceded by an IDF attack on at least ten sites in several Syrian provinces. According to Al Hadath TV, one of the targets was the Institute for Scientific Research in Hama province, where, according to Israel, weapons for Iranian groups were being manufactured. The strikes resulted in deaths and injuries.
