Open war has now essentially broken out between Israel and Syria. Israel confirms through its IDF spokesperson that it has carried out "a large scale attack" consisting of at least a dozen strikes on Syrian and Iranian military targets inside Syria.

What we previously described as Assad's strategic "waiting game" and reluctance to respond to repeat Israeli violations of Syrian airspace while launching unprovoked attacks appears to be over as Syrian air defense has shot down an Israeli F-16 fighter jet near the Golan border region in what is a major escalation in the conflict.

Though details remain murky and are still developing, Israel has confirmed that its F-16 jet has crashed in Israeli territory after it was struck carrying out operations targeting locations in Syria. The IDF spokesman quickly stated in a tweet confirming the shoot down that "Iran is responsible for this severe violation of Israeli sovereignty."

.... Beirut-based Al Masdar News reports that the incident occurred at approximately 6:30 A.M. Saturday morning (local time) and that the Israeli F-16 fighter was hit while flying within Syrian airspace near Damascus.

I read somewhere online that the Winter Olympics were actually moved up to make cover for this war - is that true?

Israel says its airstrikes took out half of Syria's air defenses

And you mean to say Russia stood by and did nothing?

Netanyahu flew to Moscow to meet with Putin.

I don't want to have to track down ALL of these meetings, but it's a constant event. Wow, they're met so many times you'd think that Netanyahu was "colluding" with Putin, or something!

1kiki just stated Netanyahu flew to Russia to speak with Putin. She did so in this thread which is meant to imply he just went. Again 1kiki, cites.

I consider the matter closed. A retraction is always honored. One never knows when one will have to do the same.

Now, why did Russia do nothing. And didn't Russia ship the Russian S-400 Air Defense Missies to Syria? I guess they didn't work huh? Half of Syria's air defenses gone in one shot, and no planes shot down. All while Russia is sitting, watching this happen. What a great ally huh.

Perhaps Russia can only fight women, children and poorly armed civilians huh.
