IBTimes: Israel sits tight as Iranian jets join aerial campaign in Syria alongside Russia

Reports of Iranian fighter jets arriving in Syria as part of the Russian campaign in the country have as yet not elicited any official response from Israel.

However, that Israel is aware of and possibly concerned over the development was noticeable in the response o fMaj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror, former national security adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and now a senior fellow at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, who said that "Anything could happen".

Israel would "not have to respond so long as the Iranian jets don't interfere with us. We are free to dislike it, but if they don't interfere with us, they can bomb their targets. It doesn't require a change of course on our part," he said. He also said that the Israel would shoot down the Iranian jets if they threatened Israel.

Update: Iranian jets poised to join Russian bombing campaign in Syria (Ynet News).

WNU Editor: Syrian, Russian, Iranian, Turkish, French, American, British, Israeli, coalition jets .... all in the skies over Syria .... what possibly could go wrong. Hmmmmm ....

American pilots are going to get a kick out of seeing the F-14 Tomcat.

Fun fact the F-14 pilot with the most air kills is Iranian, Jalil Zandi is credited with shooting down 11 Iraqi planes during the Iran-Iraq war.
