Do you think that the Israelis see the war is ending and they want to prolong it? I mean they were hitting targets in Palmyra rather than the Damascus country side which is where they usually attack perceived Hezbollah weapons transfers and men going to Lebanon.Typical bluster, they are smarting over this embarrassment but they will poke again, it's what they do.
But they should be wary because Syria is used as a tested and training ground for the Russians and even the Chinese have a low key presence for the same reasons.
I'd expect export grade electronic warfare equipment is present with both Russian and Syrian personnel to see what the older equipment will do with the latest countermeasures the West has to offer.
The latest stuff will not be used.
This will be interesting.
A lot of pro-regime accounts are basically calling Israel "Al-Qaeda/ISIS air force"
