According to a new report by the Kuwaiti Al-Rai newspaper, Syrian Armed Forces have adopted a new policy of response to further acts of aggression by Israel.
A high-ranking Syrian official summarized the policy by saying “this means that a strike on an airport in Syria will be met with a strike on an airport in Israel and so on.” (Screengrab/SouthFront)
The decision to enact such a policy comes just three months after Israel launched airstrikes on Syria over Latakia – resulting in the accidental downing of a Russian Il-20 military plane, shot down by Syrian Air Defense systems. The Al-Rai report added that Russia has given Syria the ‘green light’ to pursue the new rules of engagement.
