Fierce Response to Syrian Warplane Intrusion Meant to Protect Israeli Deterrence
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - Israel has long been telling the Russians and the Syrians that it will not allow a violation of the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement, and will respond immediately and with deadly results. Any spillover, whether it is by a mortar shell or a fighter plane, will be met with a fierce Israeli response in order to protect Israel's deterrence. How is it that despite the warnings, a Syrian pilot still makes a navigational error and enters our territory? The Syrian civil war has worn out the Syrian air force, mainly because of the desertion of a number of Syrian pilots. The remaining pilots are inexperienced young men or aging commanders.
