Thus far, information is limited regarding the belligerent party and its intended targets, as is the standard of Syrian air defense deployment. However, the prime suspect for this unwarranted attack appears to be Israel – who had launched an unprovoked attack on Syria as recently as this past Christmas Day.

During Israel’s Christmas attack on Damascus, it was revealed how the IDF had used two innocent passenger airliners as cover in order to fire 16 laser-guided GBU-39 bombs at targets near Damascus. The passenger planes were preparing for their landings into both Beirut and Damascus airports.

Israel’s has repeated claimed that such attack are done in order to “defend itself against Iran and Hezbollah,” when in fact no proof has ever been present to validate Israel claims.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILS.
