Jewish Ummah is strong while Muslim Ummah and Christian Ummah are weak, There's not much Muslim Ummah and Christian Ummah can do except to bend over for the God's chosen people.

Which Ummah? The One Iran is supporting? who End up killing 500K ppl and Push 8Mil to flew? Wanna incorporate those guys in the Ummah? same as the other side wanting to Put ISIS/AQ in it?

The Muslim Ummah, The world is a battleground between the Kufr and the Iman, i.e. The battleground between the Muslim Ummah and the rest of the world, Anyone who is doing Jihad fi sabil Allah is incorporated in the Ummah.

Putin Absolves Israel Over Syria Strike, but Crisis With Moscow Reaches All the Way to Tehran

Monday’s incident near Latakia, in which 15 Russian soldiers were killed in a downed plane, might see Russia toughen its stance toward Israel and curtail the air force’s freedom of action in Syria

“You always have to remember the first lesson in military history: Don’t mess with the Russians,” a senior officer in the Israel Defense Forces said on Monday – without realizing how prophetic his words were.

The incident in the Syrian skies on Monday night has now put Israel in an extremely difficult position with the Russians, and is liable to negatively influence the strategic freedom of action its air force had enjoyed on the northern front until now.

This is true even as Russian President Vladimir Putin absolved Israel of downing the aircraft, saying the incident was a result of a "tragic chain of circumstances."

Israeli fighter jets attacked Iranian-related targets in Syria. Syrian aerial defenses tried to thwart the Israeli attack and accidently hit a Russian Air Force plane with a Russian-made missile.

It sounds like the start of a bad joke, but the potential consequences are widespread – as evidenced by the harsh condemnation issued by Moscow, which places responsibility for the incident upon Israel.

The downing of the Russian intelligence plane with 15 crew members on board first and foremost embarrassed the Kremlin. In the hours following the incident, the Russians actually blamed a French carrier for shooting down the plane. Only on Tuesday did the Russian Ministry of Defense admit that a Syrian anti-aircraft missile had been the reason. However, Moscow blamed Israel.

The Russians are very uncomfortable admitting the weapons their provided their allies with led to the death of Russian soldiers. Moscow’s announcement, which included very exceptional wording, stated that the Israeli attack was an irresponsible and “deliberate provocation” that created a dangerous situation. Russia reserves the right to respond to the downing of the plane and the death of its crew, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu told his Israeli counterpart, Avigdor Lieberman.

On Tuesday afternoon the IDF Spokesperson Unit released a first official statement regarding the incident. In the statement, Israel admitted that the incident began with its strike, expressed condolences for the death of Russian soldier – but laid full responsibility on Syria, Iran and Hezbollah.

According to the statement, the strike was aimed at thwarting a smuggling operation to Lebanon – part of Hezbollah's "precision project" to mount precise navigation technology to be mounted on the organization's rocket arsenal. Israel notified the Russian forces in Syria shortly before the strike began.

There is an air base near in Latakia and it was close, I don't think you need to be patrolling with fighter jets unless there is some serious threat. Russia and Israel are friends, and Russia is not against Israel targeting Hezbollah/Iranian assets in Syria. They just want the government to be safe from that.

Israel is just doing stuff out of sheer desperation. the war is over and launching a couple of invaluable and irrelative strikes won't change anything on the ground. in the most recent attack, no Iranian asset was targetted despite the terrorist's claim. For the previous one, however, we'll be preparing a hamanPenis for you instead of haman'tash
