All four missiles fired by Israeli warplanes at Syria’s Homs province early on Thursday were shot down by the Syrian Army using Russian-made ‘Buk’ air defense systems, the Russian military has revealed.
Two Israeli F-16 jets fired the guided missiles from Lebanese airspace, around 01:11 local time on Thursday.
“All four missiles were destroyed by on-duty Syrian air defense units, using Russian-made Buk-M2E systems,” the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria said in a statement.
Videos and photos of the intercepts have been making rounds on social media.

It was the second Israeli strike against Syria this week, coinciding with the Muslim high holiday of Eid al-Adha that began Monday.
On Tuesday, four Israeli jets fired eight missiles into Aleppo province, striking a scientific research facility in the town of Safira. Seven out of the eight were shot down, however, by Syrian air defense units using Buk-M2 and Pantsir-S weapons systems, the head of the Reconciliation Center, Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit, said.
For Tuesday’s strike, the Israeli jets had penetrated Syrian airspace through the area of At-Tanf on the Jordanian border, controlled by the US military, the Reconciliation Center said.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have launched airstrikes into Syrian territory for years, with Tel Aviv saying they were a self-defense measure aimed at “Iranian” targets in the country.
Damascus has protested the attacks, calling them acts of aggression. Earlier this month, Russia, Turkey and Iran jointly condemned the “continuous” Israeli attacks as violations of “international law, international humanitarian law, the sovereignty of Syria, and neighboring countries.”

Beautiful job by the Syrian military! Also, Israel violated Lebanon’s airspace (and its treaty with Lebanon) by launching those attacks from Lebanon’s skies, but they do so constantly, so…
How much did all of those “Jewish” missiles that were shot down cost the American taxpayers?
Not enough if they failed!
There is no such thing as “Jewish” missiles. They were Israeli missiles. But, of course, you wouldn’t be trying to taint any valid resistance to the evil State of Israel or the evil Rothschilds who created it and use it to Maintain their New World Order with mindless anti-semitism, would you? You’d never employ such a Masonic tactic in order to discredit resistance to the evil powers that be, would you? Of course not! Besides, isn’t the online character you’re playing supposed to be British? Did you forget, “mate”? What business of yours are our American tax dollars and how they’re used to feed the wicked Israeli war machine in order to bring about your brotherhood’s Masonic/Satanic wet dream?
You are right, the missiles were not “Jewish” as in Israeli, they were American missiles which are being used to exterminate innocent Palestinians and other Shiite peoples in the Middle East by America’s evil ally, the Zionist Terror State, in order to promote extreme Sunni Islamist terrorism. I don’t have a university degree which probably explains why I had so much trouble making any sense of your comment. What business is it of America to poke its nose in the affairs of every country in the world. Your Jewish Nancy Pelosi is coming to Britain soon to lay the Judaic law down to the Global Jewish Empire’s British colony, thereby contaminating Britain with her evil presence.
What kind of game does Putin play?
Russian roulette.
Nope: Rope-A-Dope.
