Russian forces warned Israel over IAF flights in Russian controlled airspace near the Syrian–Lebanese border area after Israeli jets were detected nearby, according to a report Friday in the Lebanese media outlet As Safir.

The report comes a mere day after Russia announced that it had established a “hotline” with Israel in order to coordinate aerial activity over Lebanon and Syria.

As Safir quoted Lebanese diplomatic officials who were “in the know,” as saying that the warning was issued after Russian radar identified Israeli aircraft approaching Russian-controlled airspace two weeks ago.

“Russian aircraft immediately blocked the Israeli jets’ path while they flew above the Akkar region in northern Lebanon. The Russians immediately sent a clear warning to the Israelis that entering Syrian airspace would be a pretext for opening fire,” the source said.

According to the paper, which is considered loyal to Hezbollah, the Israeli aircraft quickly heeded the warnings and changed their course. The incident occurred mere days after talks were held between Israeli and Russian officials regarding the shared airspace. The report claimed that the Russian message instructed the Israelis to stay away from Syrian airspace.

Lebanese officials quoted in the report said that Israeli aircraft typically fly over northern Lebanon on a daily basis, “and tended to fly on a path above the Akkar region, later conducting reconnaissance in a circular pattern above the Lebanese territorial waters, eventually reaching the Syrian territorial waters.”

The report quoted an official as saying that, “Their goal was to observe the movement of ships in the port of Tartus, as well as tracking the air traffic coming in an out of Latika airport – out of concern over possible weapons transfers to Hezbollah.”

The same official claimed that the Lebanese army had noticed a decline in Israeli over flights since the warning was issued on the first of October, but clarified that flights in the area remained ongoing.

  1. Good. Now the balance of power has been tilted more to the side of the reason, to the side of justice. The rabid dogs need to stay away from the powerful bear or else.

  2. The Jews aren’t used to their planes meeting opposing planes; their F-16s are used exclusively for violating their neighbor’s airspace and for bombing, strafing, and firing missiles against civilians and children. The Jews are born cowards. Both the US & Israel deserve to get their faces smashed in!

  3. Hmmm

    Apparently the fact that overflights by Israel using armed military aircraft is considered an act of war under international law never seemed to bother Israel at all. One has only to consider that if Syrian armed military Jets started flying over Israel there would be no doubt that Israel would consider that an act of war. As usual Israel wants the world to accept the double standard and hypocrisy. Putin just sent a clear message that he won’t play that game. Good for him.

  4. Joshua they are not ” Fascists”, but Jews. The cruelest most reactionary ,racist ideology ,theology ever devised.
    Stay here awhile and lean the real differences.
    Using that term ” Fascist ” became an insult because that ideology would not tolerate the International Jews.
    Using it ,as an attack phrase plays on the Jews own territory ,and sends people into circles they draw.

  5. Finally being tamed. may take some time and more warnings but they will heed them eventually. Thank you Mr. Putin. Some of us in the states understand what you are doing is right.

  6. When you’re right, you’re RIGHT! US hegemony died when they had their arses kicked in Vietnam.
    As an anarchist I certainly don’t want to see the Russians running the world, but at least the Slavs are a ‘human’ breed who operate on common sense, realistic, unpretentious level..
    Good for them!

  7. The Israelis have never encounter a real army. they are used to fight countries with weak armies or not armies at all as in the case of the Palestinians. Joe Cortina was there in Israel with the US green berets and say that those Israelis are the most coward people on earth as they are the most sadistic evil monsters in the whole world.
