WNU Editor: Today's Israeli air strikes on targets in Syria were huge .... Israeli air strikes against Syria 'biggest since 1982' (BBC). Israeli PM Netanyahu has talked to Russian President Putin .... The Latest: Netanyahu speaks to Russia’s Putin about Iran (AP). Israeli PM Netanyahu is also warning of more strikes .... Netanyahu: Israel will hit Iranian and Syrian targets as needed (The Jerusalem Post). Russian President Putin has responded by pleading for all sides to avoid an escalation ....

As to what is my take on today's events .... this is not the time for Syria and its allies to get into a shooting war with Israel. So why the provocation with a drone .... I guess Iran wants to make a statement. My prediction .... I would not be surprised if Israel launches more airstrikes in the coming days.

I think you are right wmu, isreal is kinda upset about their plane.
Does Syria have operational S300 coverage of Damascus are, if so why is not being used?
How long is any nation supposed to sit still as their airspace is violated day in day out?.
Why Israel is even surprised at this l don't know?
LOL. Hey faz are referring to 759 Israeli air violations totaling 3,188 overflight hours, reported over 4 months July-October 2017, an increase of 80% over same months in 2016 over sovereign Lebanon and Syria? Of course, though, Israel is the eternal victim. Never the initiator of aggression, only the recipient.
I see people in southern Lebanon, the country whose land, water and airspace have been violated by the land-stealer's aggression for over 40 years, have hung banners praising the shoot down. Good for them.
Actually yeah, when you fly over a,sovereign nation again and again eventually you should expect a response.
They got off light.
The resistance axis 1. Israel 0.
Don't fret though, US taxpayers will surely pay for the repairs of those damaged F-15's.
Syria probably has 50 million dollars of smouldering radars about now though
