Jonathan Conricus said Wednesday. "We are constantly doing this. There are safety measures that are constantly being taken," adding that it is in the interest of both Russia and Israel. "Syrians hit the airplane. We hope that the Syrians and everybody else will learn the lessons of that event and will be much more careful in the future."
