Israel threatens Syria again

Avigdor Lieberman made the statement on September 28 when answering the media about whether the Israeli Air Force would continue to resume airstrikes on targets inside Syrian territory when Russia decided to strengthen the air defense missiles for the Damascus government's army, including the S-300.

Minister Avigdor Lieberman declared: "No Syrian weapon can stop Israel's actions and Tel Aviv vows to crush the S-300 if this system is transferred to Syria.

It is important to us that the defensive weapons that the Russians are delivering to Syria will not be used against us. If they are used against us, we will act against them."

Commenting on the current situation, Mr. Lieberman emphasized that: "If someone attacks us, we will retaliate, regardless of the S-300, S-700 or any other presence there." The Minister emphasized that Israel does not interfere in Syria's internal affairs, but Israel will not allow Iran to deploy troops in Syria and the Damascus government to have S-300 - weapons that can be used against Israel.

It is known that this is the second time since the incident of mistakenly shooting down the Russian Il-20 reconnaissance plane that Minister Avigdor Lieberman has announced that he will resume airstrikes inside Syrian territory.

Along with that, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also declared at least twice that the country's air force will continue to attack military targets related to Iran in Syria. However, Mr. Netanyahu also affirmed that security cooperation with the Russian military will not stop after the Russian Il-20 reconnaissance plane was mistakenly shot down by Syria on September 17.

Thus, since September 17, Israel has announced five times that it will quickly resume military operations in Syria, but surprisingly, since then, all of Israel's actions have only stopped at statements without any specific actions, leading experts to believe that Tel Aviv is wary of Syria's air defense.

This possibility is entirely possible because according to Russia's statement, in order to avoid causing incidents similar to the Il-20 incident on September 17, Russia decided to further strengthen the air defense of the Damascus government.

In particular, Russia announced that it would resume supplying S-300 high-altitude air defense missile systems to Syria in the short term. All this information may have helped Syria create a large obstacle that Israel would find difficult to overcome.
