It is not new that Israel attacked Syrian military installations, over the past few years hundreds of times Israel has carried out the attack, as the Israeli military says. But the new thing is when Iranian missiles strike at Golan and the Iron Dome fails to partial, as said by Defense Minister Liebermann.
If the Iron Dome is not able to withstand a total of 20 Iranian-type Grad and Fajar missiles, what would the proud Iron Dome be if there were attacks of thousands of more sophisticated missiles at a time and from all directions?
Liebermann, as usual, lied when he said that Israeli air strikes destroyed the entire Iranian military infrastructure in Syria, at least for two reasons: the first half of a total of 80 Israeli missiles (fired from 28 F-16 and F-15 fighters) dropped by Syrian air defense; secondly, hundreds of previous attacks were incapable of destroying Syrian-Iranian military installations, even today the construction is getting bigger and more sophisticated.
The Iranian and Israeli attacks on Thursday seemed to make the two major powers in the Area very close to the big war, as this was the first direct Iran attack as other Arab countries began to naturalize relations with Israel.
The loss of both sides to date is unclear, the Syrian government has officially announced that the attack has killed three of its soldiers, destroyed a radar, and ammunition warehouse (SOHR said the attack killed 23 soldiers, 18 of whom were Iranian military). While Israel has not announced its losses. However, the standard loss in this kind of war is not on the impact of meteril, but rather on the moral impact, dozens of bunkers at Golan are opened and thousands of Israelis go in for cover there!
What happened yesterday may be a small part of the big war scenario that will happen in the Region ahead, it could be in the next few weeks.
However, there is a question that may come to our minds, why the Russian S-300 was not visible in the war yesterday, can not Moscow fulfill its promise to grant the S-300, whereas Israeli attacks are increasingly frequent?
Did Netanyahu's visit yesterday to Moscow succeed in making Russia to delay the arrival of the S-300 to Syria?
Frankly we do not yet know the answer, because until now Russia has only asked Iran and Israel for restraint, and that does not seem enough, because Israel attacks both Russia's main allies!
Will Iran and Israel continue "playing firecrackers" tonight or tomorrow, or next week, it's still a secret, because the situation is pretty hot right now. But one thing is for sure, anyone who wants to attack will not talk much, then let that time answer. Tahrir Rakyulyaum.
