In the days leading up to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Moscow, Israeli media outlets are now reporting on an incident along the Syrian border in which a Russian jet intercepted one or more Israeli warplanes.
There are several conflicting accounts on the matter, with some saying the incident was on the Israel-Syria border and others suggesting it was on Syria’s coast, which would put the incident on the Lebanon border. Either way, the reports insist that the situation didn’t escalate into any sort of “confrontation.”
Which on the one hand has some Israeli officials citing the coordination between Israel and Russia as successful, but raises questions about why, if they are coordinating so successfully, Russia felt the need to intercept Israeli planes in the first place.
Israeli overflights of Syria aren’t unusual, and indeed Israeli attacks on Syria are fairly common, without Russian interference. If the incident happened on the coast, however, as some reports claim, it would put Israeli planes near the Russian naval base at Tartus, which Russia might interpret as provocative action. Whatever the case, this was likely a topic of discussion for Netanyahu’s visit.
Is this the first time someone is standing up to the regional bully….
this calls for a drink.
Watch what happens in retaliation for the event in Russia.
This was just a mix up, that’s all. The REAL story is that some Israeli Mossad trained soldier operating in Syria was hungry and he called in to a local deli across the border for an order of gefilte fish for delivery by camel. It was getting late and the IDF was worried the soldier might faint due to lack of food so they sent another order by Israeli jet to make a drop by parachute.
Well of course the Russians weren’t told that (they get no respect from the Zionists and are always the last to find out anything) and were very concerned when they saw a parachute with something attached drift over near the Khmeimim airbase. Consequently they sent up one of their planes to take a peek. Turns out the airbase commander’s concern it might be an errant bomb carelessly dropped by the Israeli jet was just the order of gefilte fish that had missed its delivery point.
Lucky for the soldier the camel did arrive with the first order but late and the soldier withheld a tip which upset the camel who then spit in the gelfite fish and moseyed back across the border. And that’s the truth of the matter. 🙂
Time for USA to jettison deadbeat Israel, and cut off the welfare check.
I agree with you 100%. Indeed, it’s time that the US dump deadbeat Israel and cut off the welfare check .. after all, the Zionist Entity’s the wealthiest welfare state on the planet.
Not only has Israel attacked the USS Liberty in June, 1967, killing 34 crewmen and injured 170 others, it played a major role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks over 25 years later, in which nearly 3,000 people were killed – including police and firefighters. What brought down the Twin Towers and WTC7 hours later were micro-nukes that Mossad operatives planted hours before the opening of business.
Israel controls the US, UK, and all other Western nations, getting them to fight wars for it. This is another justification for dumping it altogether; and the sooner, the better.
Both sides there are sensible enough to avoid confrontation, but I bet the Israelis are the ones feeling the heat after this exchange – they aren’t at all used to another country having both the desire and ability to challenge them in the air.
