A Russian general on Thursday said that Syrian air defenses did not engage Israeli jets that reportedly carried out a strike in central Syria because there were two civilian airliners in the air at the time.
A Britain-based war monitor said the alleged Israeli airstrike in central Syria killed nine pro-government fighters, four of them Syrians and five of undetermined nationality.
Syrian Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit told the Sputnik news site that the strike was carried out by four Israeli F-16 jets.

Dear Russia: If you're going to set up shop in Syria to aid al-Assad's piece of shit government, then at least take out the garbage now and then and Israel won't have to do it for you. Israel has been very clear they won't allow anti-Israel terrorists to set up shop in Syria, or use it as a base to funnel weapons. But what does Russia do? Gives Syria suface to air missiles to protect against these raids. Hello?
*cough* *cough* At least Israel doesn't SHOOT DOWN airlines. (2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, 283 civilian deaths.)
Don't forget Korean Air Lines Flight 007 in 1983, 269 fatalities.
