Air Defense Units Confront Israeli Aircrafts over Syrian airspace forcing them to Leave

Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 04:15 PM

DAMASCUS, (SANA): Syrian Military spokesman stated Thursday that the Israeli enemy aircrafts infiltrated into the Syrian airspace overnight Thursday through the northern border, coming from the Mediterranean heading towards the eastern -northern region, breaking the sound barrier.

"Air defense units confronted them and forced them to leave after they drooped some ammunition in deserted areas without causing any human or material damage," the Military spokesman said.

The military spokesman added that "the Syrian Arab Republic warns the Israeli enemy government against this flagrant aggressive act, and retains the right to respond in an appropriate way."

Tahun 1982....di Lembah Beeka, Israel guna UAV utk umpan AA batteries dari Syria.
Biler deme ON jer radar..............the real fighter planes drop their ANTI RADAR missiles.

96 Syrian planes to zero Israelis yg di musnahkan.

Syria accuses Israel of bombing its territory
By Khaled Yacoub Oweis

DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Syria accused Israel of bombing its territory on Thursday and said it could respond to the Jewish state's "aggression and treachery".

Israel declined to comment on the charge by Syria, which said no casualties or damage were caused. The Syrian accusation was partly responsible for triggering a rise in world oil prices of more than $1.40 a barrel.

"It appears that the Israeli planes were on a reconnaissance mission when they got caught by Syrian defences and were forced to drop their bombs and extra fuel tanks," said a Western diplomat in Syria's capital Damascus. He declined to be named.

After months in which talk of reviving long-stalled peace negotiations between neighbouring Israel and Syria has been mixed with speculation on both sides that the other was preparing a surprise attack, Syrian officials hit out.

"This shows that Israel cannot give up aggression and treachery," Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal told Al Jazeera television.

Another Syrian official said: "They dropped bombs on an empty area while our air defences were firing heavily at them." The official news agency SANA said Syria "reserves the right to respond according to what it sees fit".

The Israeli military spokesman's office said in a statement: "It is not our custom to respond to these kinds of reports."

The office has typically commented on such charges, but a security source said the government had imposed a news blackout on the issue. A spokeswoman for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said there would be no comment beyond the military statement.

In Washington, the White House declined to comment.

It is more than a year since Syrian guns opened fire on Israeli aircraft and Israeli jets last struck in 2003 across a border that remains tense but largely quiet 34 years after the last war between the two neighbours ended in an edgy ceasefire.

RECONNAISSANCE FLIGHTS

Military analysts said Israel has conducted reconnaissance flights over Syria to probe its defences.

Witnesses said several planes crossed deep into Syrian territory and flew over the oil centre of Deir al Zor on the Euphrates river.

Residents in the Tal al-Abiad area on Syria's border with Turkey said they spotted several fuel tanks.

Turkish and Israeli officials denied a report from an Israeli military source that the Israeli air force had trained in Turkey as recently as this week. The last exercises concluded last month, officials in Ankara said.

Tensions between Israel and Syria have been high in the past few months.

Some Israeli intelligence officials have suggested Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government might be ready to try to take by force parts of the Golan Heights, which Israel captured in the war of 1967 and held on to in fighting in 1973.

Syrian officials have said Syria was seeking peaceful means to liberate the territory, although some have also suggested force remained an option if diplomacy failed.

Some Israeli military officials have expressed alarm at what they say are reinforcements of Syrian posts and arms purchases.

But Olmert, who launched his forces against Syrian-allied Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon a year ago, has been at pains to say he has no hostile intentions toward Damascus.

He has also said he would like to reopen peace negotiations that have been stalled for seven years. Syrian officials too have said they would like peace. But there has been little sign of any concrete steps towards rapprochement.

Syria last said it fired at Israeli warplanes in June 2006, when Israeli aircraft buzzed a Syrian presidential palace.

Israeli officials said at the time the Jewish state was pressing a message to Syria to cease support for Hamas after the Palestinian militant group abducted an Israeli soldier.

Israel has long warned Syria to stop supporting militant Palestinian groups and the Lebanese Hezbollah movement.

Israeli jets bombed an empty Palestinian militant training camp in Syria in October 2003.

The main problem is that Arabs are head strong but lack intelligence. Intel tu bukan risikan. Human development, latihan dan kepakaran kurang. Yang ada duit aje.

Hang cuba fikirlah, dalam tahun 1975, depa boleh bersengkongkol dgn US supaya jual minyak dalam USD sahaja. Sanggup buat gitu.

I believe differently. Hez fought a guerilla war. No country (except ours) had ever won a war against a guerilla movement. Israelis learnt the hard way that even a modern army can be inflicted heavy losses against a guerilla war.

Yang kedua, masalah politik serantau negara Arab. Keadaan politik di situ dah berubah sejak perang bulan Ogos lalu.

Masalahnya, kalau perang guerilla susah nak menang sebab berharap pasukan lawan tewas kerana keletihan. Susah lah.

Syria patut menubuhkan regimen2 gerila yg boleh bertempur macam hezbullah, small units ngan devastating fire power, bijak main sorok2 dalam bunker dan terowong2 rahsia, disamping memiliki aset pertahanan udara yg mantap utk menangani jahud. Tak pun depa patut belajar dari mesia macam mana nak simpan kuku macam rimau, bila diserang boleh kasi hidung berdarah kpd musuh.

Here is a map, according to Syrian reports:



If they are true, Syrians did not perform very well.

Do u care to elaborate more about the map?...or urself neither dont understand israel language?

Nick_Perelman

Well there is nothing much to explain, just shows the route of the planes. They entered on 00:00 from the sea side, broke sound barrier over Tal el Abbeyd (right red dot) and returned back by the same route.

Syria patut dapatka S400 terkini dari Rusia. Jika cukup baik utk melindungi instalasi dan aset strategik Kremlin dan bandaraya Moskow, patutnya ia cukup baik utk melindungi Damsyik....
