This week, a senior Israeli official claimed that the Israeli military has conducted attacks in Syria after the September 17 incident which led to the accidental destruction of a Russian reconnaissance aircraft by Syrian air defenses over the Mediterranean.
The Israeli claim about conducting military operations in Syria after the destruction of the Russian Il-20, which prompted the Russian military to deliver a modernized export version of its S-300 air defense system to Syria, don't sound truthful, according to Germany's
Contra Magazin.
"Israel has insisted that the S-300s wouldn't interfere with its ability to attack Syria, but in the space of over a month since then,
not a single media report on such an attack has been made. However, on Monday, Israel
said that it has attacked Syria since September 17, and did so coordinating with Russia," the publication
wrote."The claim," according to
Contra Magazin, "is obviously intended to strengthen Israel's resolve to attack at will, especially after the lack of such attacks has raised many doubts."
In any case,
the Monday claim, particularly given the lack of confirmed Israeli attacks, "makes their absence all the more obvious," Contra noted.
