Air defense systems in Syria were activated in response to Israeli airstrikes south of the city of Aleppo on Tuesday, according to Syrian state TV and the SANA news agency.
A Syrian army source told the Syrian news agency that air defenses intercepted most of the missiles, which were launched toward the Al-Safirah area in the northwest of the country. No casualties have been reported so far. An investigation is now underway regarding the results of the attack.
Lebanese television channel Al-Mayadeen claimed it was "Israeli aggression," stating that Israel's target was a factory and research center on the outskirts of the city. The IDF has not made a statement in response to the reported attacks.
This is the first attack attributed to Israel in Syria since the new government was sworn in last month.

I imagine something like a discreet email from Russia state department to IsraHell's, with a copy of prior statements and next time IsraHell tries it, they'll have ready to go their level 5? radar/air defense system. (As I recall, Syria only has their level 3.)
