The agreement between Russia and Israel is no longer valid: the Russian military was ordered to shoot down Israeli missiles and fighter jets
The Israeli information resource "Debka", referring to "diplomatic sources in Moscow" reports that the notification of the Russian Defense Ministry about the interception of missiles during the Israeli Air Force strikes on the objects of pro-Iranian formations in Aleppo and Homs is a message to the Israeli government.
Moscow has made it clear to the new government of Naftali Bennett that the agreement between Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu, according to which Russia "did not notice" Israeli strikes on Syria, no longer works. From now on, the Russian military will no longer turn a blind eye to the operations of the Israel Defense Forces on the territory of the Arab Republic. In fact, they were ordered to shoot down Israeli missiles and planes.
According to the publication "Debka", until the last incident, the Russian side ignored the attacks of the Israeli Air Force. However, at the moment, an order has already been received to use existing air defense systems to repel attacks.
«Russia has changed its attitude towards Israeli airstrikes in Syria. Officers of the Russian Aerospace Forces, commanders of Syrian missile batteries are now working to intercept Israeli missiles or Israeli aircraft in case they cross the border and enter Syrian airspace. Russian military sources report that during the July 19 attack near Aleppo, a Syrian air defense system intercepted 7 of 8 precision missiles fired by Israeli aircraft at targets. Israeli rockets were fired from Lebanon at targets in Syria. According to Russian military sources, the change in Russian policy came after Russian President Putin received a signal from the White House in Washington that President Joe Biden's administration would no longer support Israeli attacks in Syria. Washington does not welcome the ongoing Israeli raids. If this report is correct, then, in the end, it is not only a change in Russia's attitude towards Israeli attacks, but also a change in American policy regardingIsrael'smilitary operations in Syria," debka said.
