IDF rejects Russian findings on plane downing

2018-09-24

[Ynet] Israeli military expresses disagreement over Russian Defense Ministry's conclusion that IAF bears responsibility for Syrian army's shooting down of Russian aircraft, claiming IDF planes were not in Syrian airspace at time of incident.

The IDF rejected on Saturday the Russian Defense Ministry’s investigation findings on Syria’s downing of Russian plane, which concluded that Israel bears responsibility for the incident that killed 15 people.

According to the Russian report presented by the Defense Ministry, the IAF deceived the Russians by presenting false information regarding the area in which the strike in Latakia was planned on September 17 which prevented the Russian plane from leaving the danger zone.

#2 They certainly have touching faith in our abilities, g(r)omgoru.

I also like this bit from the Jerusalem Post op-ed, above (Don’t Be Fooled):

In a turn of events that could only happen in the Middle East, the Syrian army shoots down a Russian spy plane following an Israeli attack on an Iranian facility meant to manufacture precision arms for Hezbollah in Leb ‐ and Israel gets blamed.

That chain of events brings to mind Menachem Begin's famous line after the Sabra and Shatila massacres in 1982: "Non-jews kill non-Jews, and they immediately come to hang the Jews."

But if I recall correctly, Menachem Begin also made aliyah from Russia.

#1 There is an old Russian saying "If the sea is empty, it's because Jews drank all the water." I see they're reverting to type.
