Jerusalem (AFP) - A Russian warplane recently entered Israeli-controlled airspace from Syria but the intrusion was resolved without incident, Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon said on Sunday.

Yaalon's comments come amid deep concern over the downing of a Russian warplane by Turkey, which claims it strayed over the Syrian border into its airspace and ignored repeated warnings to change course. Moscow denies the allegations.

"There was a slight intrusion a mile (1.6 kilometres) deep by a Russian plane from Syria into our airspace, but it was immediately resolved and the Russian plane returned towards Syria," Yaalon told public radio.

"It was apparently an error by the pilot who was flying near the Golan."

Israel seized most of the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and later annexed the territory in a move never recognised by the international community.

Yaalon recalled that Israel and Russia had made arrangements to avoid clashes over Syria, with the agreement said to include a "hotline" and information sharing.

He said "Russian planes do not intend to attack us, which is why we must not automatically react and shoot them down when an error occurs."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks in Moscow in September to discuss ways of avoiding accidental clashes.

Russia launched a bombing campaign in Syria on September 30 at the request of its longstanding ally Bashar al-Assad that Moscow says is targeting Islamic State jihadists and other "terrorist" groups.

Israel has reportedly launched more than a dozen air strikes in Syria since 2013, mainly targeting alleged arms transfers to Hezbollah, and Israeli officials were believed to have feared that Russia's intervention could limit their room for manoeuvre.

Israel opposes Assad, but has sought to avoid being dragged into the war.

It also fears that Iran could increase its support for Hezbollah and other militant groups as international sanctions are gradually lifted under a July nuclear deal that Moscow helped negotiate between Tehran and world powers.

In September 2014, Israel downed a Russian-made Syrian warplane over the Golan Heights in the first such incident in three decades and warned it would respond "forcefully" if its security was threatened.

Israel and Russia do cooperate on the Syrian issue, Israel will not attack russian airplanes unless it's being attacked, and Israel will not stop launching air strikes on Syrian weapon stocks that headed toward Hizballah.
Moreover, Israel does not support one side or another in the syrian war (Altho it prefers the known enemy which is Assad than the unfamiliar one)

HIZBULLAH is an ally of Russia Have you forget it?

They both are fighting against ISIS in Syria.

Hizballah is an ally of Iran and Syria, and Russia prefers not to get involved in Israeli buisness and that the Israelies won't get involved in theirs

Right! Israelis are not so stupid, dumb, brainless, mentally retarded, foolish and dimwitted as some are!!

So Why they have created a Military Base Near Israel?

Just against ISIS NO

 

[DavidSling]

So Why they have created a Military Base Near Israel?

They can create a military base where ever they want, they know better than pissing the Israelies which is also a neighbor and a regional power in the middle east, they dont want to open another front, specialy not against the Israelies.

Russian Military base is to Control Israel and Allies Of Israel (ISIS).

Again with this baseless propaganda that Israel support ISIS, ISIS declared couple of times that after they'll finish with Syria their next front will be Israel (liberate jerusalem from the jews). ISIS is more of an enemy of Israel, surely not a friend

Russian can put their bases where ever they want in Syria and Israel isn't taking sides in the syria conflict (which counts them all as potiental threat)

Well, to be honest, Israel is in a very difficult situation here. Even if i was Israel's leader i will find it very difficult to know how to navigate and further my country's interests in this region, especially after Russia's intervention by the side of Assad/Iran and thus by extension Hezbollah. Its a very complex situation for Israel.

Well, what i know is that Israel has to choose between the lesser of two BIG EVILS i.e Assad/Iran regime with its Hezbollah proxies(who are very much anti Israel and would gladly wipe Israel out of the surface of earth if they could. lol) and the Syrian jihadists/rebel groups who aren't favorable towards the Jews/Israel as well. In this situation, i think Israel should keep targeting Israel/Iranian advisers/troops transporting military equipment to terrorist group like Hezbollah against Israel. while keeping away from getting involved in this messy conflict. So the more both sides kill and weaken each other the better for Israel.
