IDF fighters were covered by passenger airliners during the night attack on Syria.

Israel has tried to repeat a dangerous situation similar to that in which a Russian Il-20 military aircraft was shot down. According to Russian journalists, during the raid on the Syrian province of Homs, Israeli combat aircraft were covered by two passenger airliners at once - Airbus A310, flight number A-532 Baghdad - Damascus and Airbus A310 flight number A-429 Dubai - Beirut. It is for this reason that the Syrian military did not use the available S-200 complexes to attack Israeli aircraft.

The Israeli attack succeeded in shooting down only a few missiles, but this time the material damage and casualties of the attack by the Israeli Air Force were significantly greater than in the previous attack.

In turn, in response to such a provocation, the Operational Headquarters of the allied forces of Syria made a decision retaliate with missile strikes against the Al-Tanf area, where the American military is located, which, it is alleged, could also take part in the attack on the province of Homs, as well as on Israeli territory.

Considering the fact that Iran had earlier transferred precision weapons to Syria, the consequences for Israel and the United States could be very serious. Moreover, both the Pentagon and the Israel Defense Forces took such a threat very seriously. In particular, there was closed airspace over the Golan Heights, and the sky in the area of ​​American military installations is constantly patrolled by military aircraft.
