This seems to be like the last Israeli attack on Damascus, which hadn't happened. Remember.
See, for example, according to RTRT wrote:There are conflicting reports regarding the course of events. Some say that there was an Israeli airstrike on the residential area, while other describe the incident as terrorist mortar shelling.
Reuters initially cited Syrian state TV as saying that several people had been injured, after rockets launched by “terrorist groups” hit a building in the Jaramana district of Damascus.
In general, random copy-and-pasts from Twitter isn't what this forum needs.

Russian fighter jets strike the Idlib Shariah Courts: 40+ Islamists killed
The Russian Air Force delivered a series of powerful airstrikes above the provincial capital of the Idlib Governorate on Sunday afternoon, killing over 40 Islamist rebels from Jaysh Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest) before they completely destroyed the Idlib Shariah Courts.
According to a military source in the Hama Governorate, the Russian Air Force’s fighter jets repeatedly struck the large building where the Shariah Courts were located; this resulted in the death of several militants from the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra, Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, and Jund Al-Aqsa (also affiliated with Al-Qaeda).
In addition to striking the Shariah Courts of Idlib City, the Russian fighter jets hit the Idlib Air Force Intelligence headquarters that housed a number of the Islamist fighters and Muslim Brotherhood members.
As a result of these airstrikes, social media activists from the Muslim Brotherhood attempted to depict the Russian air raid as an attack on civilians; however, the Al-Masdar News staff tracked the location of the attack and researched the targeted sites.
The Russian Air Force’s airstrikes did kill one member from the Syrian Civil Defense in Idlib City; however, this member was also known for working with Jabhat Al-Nusra and Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham during their executions.

Russia assists Hezbolah against Sunni islamists, ISIS and other Saudi funded scum. Israel/Hezbolah issues are irrelevant for them.
Gameplan in the Mid East according to Russia is to eventually get Jews and Shias (Israel and Iran specifically) to bury the hatchets once and for all. Best solution for everyone and most desirable and profitable one for Russia.
That guy was insignificant for the war effort. His only value was seemed to be PR. For some reason Israelis decided to use up the "coupon" they had with Russia on him. Waste of perfectly good coupon if you ask me, but whatever spins their dreidel...
Another reason why Russia agreed to look the other way is probably because this guy broke a certain taboo back in a day. Like I said during the Su-24 incident, there are some unwritten rules that all good players follow.
Had Israelis requested to take out some Hesbolah officer with clean resume or who is actually relevant for the war effort Russian answer would be a resounding "don't even dream/think/fantasize about it!!!".

Hezbollah claimed that Kuntar was killed by an Israeli airstrike, while Syrian state media spoke of a “terror attack.” Meanwhile, Israel denied responsibility for the attack.

Apparently Israel is denying the attack, this is very confusing, btw i don't believe it could have been a cruise missile/airstrike S-400 would have made short work of that, and the thought that Russia allowed it is crazy, you don't deploy the S-400 to "allow" sh#t like that to happen.

It was claimed to be a suicide bombing, which has happened frequently in the past in Demascus. As well, if Israel was gonna hit Assad, they would have done it already.Kadmos45 wrote:sepheronx wrote:All sides excluding hezbolla are denying it anyway.
