Are you saying Western sources are pro-Syrian?
The Israeli's just keep very quiet about everything. They do not discuss their operations or make any claims about being successful or otherwise. they just go about their business and let others do the talking.
Denial in the face of lack of suitable evidence is OK for Israel and awards them the legal benefit of innocent until proven guilty, but any country you don't like is automatically guilty until they can prove innocence ?
They are actually very clever. Far too clever.
They are born thieves and liars!
The Syrians have S200 only and the Israelis have familiarity with S300/S400 which the Russians will never deploy against the Israelis because that would be the end of the S400s reputation.
Me thinks you are way over confident ......... so why are the Israeli's so frightened of the Syrians having S-300's? Surely they are not frightened of them as even you are so well informed of how useless they are, the Israeli's must know at least as much as you do about them? Maybe they are in fear ..... they are certainly frightened of Hezbullah and all they have is a few thousand unguided rockets ..... what I would call super fireworks!
The only other action against Syria before the Syrian Civil War, was actually when Syria was about to invade Israel in 1967 and actually got done and lost the Golan Heights. There is nothing wrong with defence.
No country since the creation of the State of Israel has ever attacked the recognised State of Israel! The Israeli's occupy the Golan Height s illegally as they are recognised internationally as a fart of Syria, like they do all of the Palestinian territories. Stealing something and declaring it is yours by virtue of possession .... is still theft no matter how you present it. If those living on the Golan had a referendum and decided they wanted to be part of Israel there would be a reason to believe otherwise. There was no referendum of the people ..... it was an act of war dressed up by the Israeli's as '... their right to defence' ! Again ..... it is all double standards ..... and your ignorance of historical events.
