Syria launched a retaliatory missile strike on Israeli territory.

Less than a minute after the start of Israeli strikes on Syrian territory, the Syrian military attacked Israel, firing a Soviet ballistic tactical missile Scud, also known as the R-17 Elbrus, at the central part of that country. According to the Israeli newspaper Debka, the missile was not only not intercepted by the Israeli military, but was also able to successfully strike the central part of the country, although this did not lead to any destruction.

The Israeli news publication "Debka" confirms the previously voiced Avia. About the information that two missiles were fired into Israel, one of which is anti-aircraft and belongs to the S-200 complex, and the second is ballistic.

“Last Friday, around 1 hour 35 minutes, when the Air Force planes attacked the Damascus area, central Israel shuddered from a series of explosions. It is a huge area that stretches from Netanya, through Herzliya, Rosh HaAyin, Ramat Gan, Givatayim and to Rishon LeZion. In these areas, no alarm was triggered and the army announced that it was verifying the data on missile launches from Syria. However, this is not the worst - the residents of Rishon LeZion claim that the explosions in the areas were not associated with the Syrian anti-aircraft missile, it was due to the strike by the Syrian Scud missile. ", - reports the publication "Debka".

One of the reasons why the Israeli air defenses did not work is the use of electronic suppression by the Syrian side, which actually drowned out Israel's air defenses. In addition, there is another version of what happened - the Israeli air defense could not attack the Syrian missiles due to the fact that there was a risk of destroying their own fighters, in other words, the launched ballistic missile was covered by the S-200 air defense missile system, which in turn was chasing an Israeli fighter ...

According to the Israeli newspaper, with a ballistic missile strike on central Israel, Syria reminded the IDF of the existing vulnerability in the defense of this state and now, probably, every subsequent Israeli attack on Syria will be punished by the Syrian side with strikes on Israeli territory.
