Where is the proof this is Russian/Syrian attack? It doesn't say in the video. It could be any one of the maniacs who are bombing the crap out of that country.

I went with the title of the video but you are right, it could have been the Americans or British or Canadians or even the Saudis who bombed that town.

There is also the possibility of it being a missile as they are pretty much invisible at that stage of their flight path. Israel just finished testing a upgrade to the iron dome so perhaps that is the munition that made the explosions. If the ground based attack was right away then both events are part of a single 'operation'.
Free Syrian Army Claims Assassination of al-Quntar — Naharnet
The Free Syrian Army claimed on Monday its responsibility for the assassination of prominent Hizbullah member Samir al-Quntar in Syria over the weekend.
It denied in a video Hizbullah's claims that Quntar and his companions were killed in an Israeli jet strike, saying that such allegations are aimed at “making light of the FSA's achievements.”
“They are also aimed at raising the morale of its mercenaries,” said the FSA fighters of Hizbullah members engaged in the Syrian conflict.
Addressing the party, the so-called “knights of the Houran brigade” said: “We vow that all of your actions are being monitored and you will not be spared from our future strikes.”
Media reports on Sunday said that Quntar was killed in an Israeli raid near the Syrian capital.
Israeli warplanes targeted a building where Quntar and a number of his companions were residing in Hay al-Homsi in Jarmana southeast of Damascus, killing an unidentified number, they added.
Witnesses said that three missiles were launched at the residential building and led to its total collapse, killing six individuals and wounding another twelve.


Correct me if I am wrong but the S-400 could determine where a missile came from and the response would be to target the launch position in a way that would be fast enough that they would still be in the area. It seems like Israel may not have had planes in the area after all.

With the recent focus on Hezbollah the West is doing the smear campaign because of the elections coming up. Last time they won a lot more seats than they were supposed to and that stalled the STL trial and the old PM has been in Saudi ever since so it is clear what his leadership would be like. Hezbollah would mean a Russian banker would be bankrolling any economic developements as far as off-shore resources such as gas for Europe

Syrian Army Starts Wiping Daesh Out of Strategic Town in Homs Province
Double Game: Washington Escalates Campaign Against Forces Battling Daesh
“Russia’s intervention, at the request of the Syrian government has been described as a game changer. Volunteers from the ranks of Venezuela’s Bolivarian movement — including a member of the National Assembly — have courageously gone to Syria to fight against terrorism,” the author noted.
The US has also continued to impose sanctions on Russia, Iran and Venezuela as these countries continue to “battle a group which is supposedly the primary enemy of the United States.”
“While economic warfare against ISIS (also known as Daesh) enemies continues, it is well documented that the US-aligned regime in Turkey is facilitating the sale of ISIS oil, and allowing weapons to cross its borders,” Maupin wrote for the New Eastern Outlook.

You can consider yourself corrected and you are wrong.

In your haste to bring to the forum that the Israeli AF has bombed Syria you realized that makes all of your posts of the superiority of Russian Air Defense systems obsolete.

The Israeli AF flew right into Syria... bombed the Syrian capital and flew right out unscathed.

Butt butt butt....IAF had their FOF transponders set to "Jew". Nobody dares to shoot down Jews, just Indonesian airliners.

Israel has enough bad pr to deal with, they don't need several lost aircraft compounding their woes.

Obsolete would be if they shot at it and missed. Even the ones bombing troops in the north was shown where they flew from and back too, the radar does not identify the nation only the style of aircraft. Those sorts of things are better in court than in the National Inquirer.

True. Which is why they fly over Syria in relative safety.

Obselete are your posts bragging on these so called superior Russian AA weapons platforms.

You know... you're an idiot.

Oh and the Russian AA Systems in Syria suck just like the Russian AF in Syria. They haven't detered anyone from bombing in Syria. I bet the Russians soldiers manning these AA systems heard the Israeli AF bomb blasts and wondered... What was that Misha? Sounded like an explosion!

Still pale compared to the ISIS member who said 'Look, there are some parts falling off the airplane.' to which the reply was, 'Run you dummy, those are bombs.'
