DEBKAfile Special Report November 2, 2015, 1:50 PM (IDT)
Syrian media reported an Israeli air force attack Sunday, Nov. 1, after two sorties Friday night against Syrian army and Hizballah bases in the Qalamoun Mountains on the Lebanese border. The IDF declined to confirm or deny these reports. Syrian sources described a large number of Israeli airplanes as bombing a Hizballah unit based in the village of El Ain in northern Lebanon and the arms depot of the 155th Brigade of the Syrian army at Al-Katifa to the east.
The two targets are 70 km apart. So these air strikes must have targeted two key points along the Iranian arms supply route to Hizballah.
They also raise three important questions:
1. Did Israel’s Tel Aviv command center use the hotline to Russian headquarters to give Moscow prior warning of air strikes against Syrian and Hizballah targets, explaining that no harm was intended to the Russian military in Syria?
Hardly likely; the Russians would not be expected to tolerate Israeli bombardments so close to their own military enclave in Latakia province.
2. Did Russian surveillance planes and stations detect the approach of Israel’s bombers and decide not to interfere?
After all, Israel has turned a blind eye to repeated Russian air strikes in the last few days against rebel positions in the southern Syrian town of Deraa and Quneitra opposite IDF Golan positions. The two cases suggest a gentlemen’s agreement between Russia and Israel to abstain from interfering with each other’s air operations over Syria, so long as there are no direct clashes between the two air forces. This could easily have happened when Russian planes bombed Quneitra.
So is Moscow giving Israel enough aerial leeway to strike Iranian, Syria and Hizballah targets so long as there is no interference in Russian operations?
That too is unlikely because it would amount to permission for the Israeli air force to operate inside the anti-access/area denial bubble which the Russian air force has imposed over Syria.
3. Did the Israeli air force use electronic warfare measures to jam the tracking systems installed in Russian spy planes and air defense missile systems in Syria?
DEBKAfile’s military sources have this answer: Israel and Russia have been conducting a clandestine electronic contest for 33 years, since the memorable episode in 1982, when the Israeli air force destroyed in a single strike the entire Russian air defense missile system installed in Syria.
Since then, the Russians have worked hard to develop electronic warfare measures for gaining on the Israeli edge, without much success.
This was strikingly demonstrated in September 2007, when the Russian-made electronic tracking and warfare systems, which were the backbone of Syria air defense missile batteries, missed the Israeli warplanes as they came in to bomb the North Korean-built Iranian-Syrian plutonium reactor going up in northern Syria. This lapse may have recurred in the case of the Israeli air sorties Saturday.
~~ According to special report published to Debka File, Syrian media reported an Israeli air force attack Sunday, Nov. 1, after two sorties Friday night against Syrian army and Hizballah bases in the Qalamoun Mountains on the Lebanese border.

Syrian sources described a large number of Israeli airplanes as bombing a Hizballah unit based in the village of El Ain in northern Lebanon and the arms depot of the 155th Brigade of the Syrian army at Al-Katifa to the east.
I am confused, Is it the Syrians the Russians are protecting or the Syrians the Russians are fighting?
Russia supports the Syrian government.
Debka.com has more fiction than facts and Russia has missiles to take any IDF jets down and jets to clear them off if they are going after government forces.
Sorry Israel but the real estate you wanted in Syria is not up for grabs and it’s not up for sale, we are sending your paid terrorists (AL-CIAda, AL-Nusra, FSA, ISIS,ISIL,IS) back home
Please note the kurds and PKK are missing from the list, they are with the good guys.
DEBKAfile has been debunked as PURE FICTION.
(They even admit it!)
They’re the ones who stated China’s aircraft carrier has been docked in Syria for weeks now, LoL, heheh…
Which is simply not true.
They all work together wake up or shut up monkey brains.
qikq
um right cool comment bro. what were you even talking about who works together. would it be too much to ask for you to try to make some semblance of sense?
the aim of Debka is “by deception thou shalt do war.”
now explain how Israel did not just commit an act of war against Syria?
Israel is controlled by demons. Sad, but true. They aren’t even a real human race or ethnicity. They are just demons. They like to pretend to be humans, but they aren’t. They mock and laugh at real life tragedy and death. Who in their right mind does that??? Who???
Did you ever encounter people who mock and laugh while others are mourning around them. They know that people have died, yet they are making jokes and laughing???
Those are demons. They are the ones that can control everyone else because of their ability to feel less or nothing. They just suck. More than once, I saw that kind of behavior and it’s really disturbing. It’s obscene. A lot of them are everywhere in the hospitals, for example.
How can watching any living being die in front of your face be any kind of laughing matter? Someone please enlighten me. I can understand feeling, numb, shocked, horrified, confused, but amused??? How is that? Someone tell me. Someone tell me how it’s just business as usual after a while after seeing so much of it.
