Last night, the Syrian Air Defense Forces (SADF) repelled another missile attack allegedly carried out by the Israeli military. Missiles were intercepted in two areas:
- Near Shayrat military airfield in the Homs countryside – 6 missiles were intercepted (according to some sources, 9 missiles)
- Near Dumair military airfield in the Damascus countryside – 3 missiles were intercepted.
According to reports, the SADF also used its S-200 air defense system to launch a surface-to-air missile at aircraft that had attacked Syria.
However, the Israeli military told the Russsian news agency TASS that it has no info about any strikes on Syria.
Interestingly, the alleged attack came a day after Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman claimed that his country will not accept limitations on its “actions” in Syria from any powers including Russia.
Previously, Israel had carried out a missile attack on Syria’s T4 airbase on April 9. Then, the SADF intercepted 5 missiles, but 3 missiles did reach the base.
The Pentagon and the Russian Defense Ministry continue to make mutually contradictory statements over the April 14 missile strike. On April 16, Defense Ministry Spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov once again rejected the Pentagon’s statements that all the missiles launched by the US, the UK and France had hit their targets.
Konashenkov said that 71 US-led bloc missiles had been shot down by the SADF providing details on the defense systems used by the Syrian military:
- Buk: 29 missiles fired – 24 targets hit;
- Osa: 11 missiles fired – 5 targets hit;
- S-125: 13 missiles fired – 5 targets hit;
- Strela-10: 5 missiles fired – 3 targets hit;
- Kvadrat: 21 missiles fired – 11 targets hit;
- S-200: 8 missiles fired – no targets hit;
- Pantsir-S1: 25 missiles fired – 23 targets hit;
SF recalls that the Pentagon says that 105 missiles were launched at only three targets. At the same time, the Russian and Syrian militaries say that the targets included Syrian airfields.
Meanwhile, according to the Russian envoy to the OPCW Aleksandr Shulgin said that Russia has “irrefutable proof” that the so-called Douma chemical attack was a “false-flag” orchestrated by British intelligence services with support from the US. The goal of the false flag was to justify the aggression against Syria.
Testing the waters for their colonial masters, for a second strike?
This western lunacy will continue for some time it appears. Ziowar III is in full swing and surprises are in store. Humanity deserves better than the craven assaults from the west at the behest of its middle east agents provocateurs.
This week we will see OPCW give support for the UK Skripal BS and the Spiez lab hide and quiver for having made the mistake of making its report available to those ‘evil Russians’. The off-guardian has a great story exposing the duplicity of the Spiez lab.
Meanwhile the Trump family White House blindly goes along with the global killers and the failed state of the USA keeps shooting itself in the foot. Sad for us all.
But they will never exterminate the beauty of our humanity or the creativity of compassion.
Sana (17 apr) news agency quoting Syrian military reports that it was a false alarm but Syrian AA missiles fired. Probing by EW means by the usual suspects?

Yes, as I read this, I thought I’d seen something like that story. Syria now saying it was a false alarm.
I find it interesting that a few years ago, Israel would have just flown into Syria and launched missiles. Ever since they lost that F-16, Israel doesn’t appear to want to enter Syrian air space. They launch missiles from over Lebanon. And perhaps this was a long-range EW op to get the Syrian air defense to fire. But I can’t help put notice that Israel didn’t want to send any planes in there. Not any more.
SF’s report on the SF website now includes an Update notice at the top of the article.
“UPDATE: There is a new version of the missile attack – a false alarm.”
(Note the difference compared to outfits like western media who often don’t print correction notices, or who bury it at the very bottom of the story. A report like this is one is of course based on sources, and any organiztion that is doing ‘reporting’ will at times be misinformed by sources. Good to know in such cases SF prints a correction notice.)
“Interestingly, the alleged attack came a day after Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman claimed that his country will not accept limitations on its “actions” in Syria from any powers including Russia.”
But hasn’t Russia accepted all kinds of limitations on its actions in Syria from Israel? I mean people say the reason why Russia hasn’t sold Syria higher tech anti-aircraft and defenses is due to Israel. Syrians claim Russia is delaying on equipment it ordered and paid for back in 2008 because Israel asked Russia not to deliver it.
“people say”
— Yeah, that always makes it true.
There are powers beyond both Israel and the Russian Federation that could seriously damage any nation that proves too independent. This short article serves as a clue. This award has been won multiple times by this same recipient.

The Russian Defence Ministry said the US-France-UK missile attack happened “on April 14 from 3.42 a.m. to 5.10 a.m. (MSK). In his briefing Konashenkov said 103 missiles were tracked by Syrian radars.
The US Department of Defense said “All weapons hit their targets at very close to the designated time on target, of about 4:00 a.m. in Syria”. In his briefing McKenzie said “we deployed 105 weapons against three targets.” He said about the Syrian response that “they actually typically began to fire their missiles after the last impact of our weapon.” I found myself wondering about his precise words even though he talked about missiles as well as weapons.
I got the impression that something happened maybe between 4.12 a.m. and 4.14 a.m. Syrian time which both sides did not expect. Maybe both sides have taken credit for something which both sides guessed not to be the result of enemy activity. Of course who knows whether some people on both sides might really be on the same side anyway. I don’t know speaking genuinely but it is something that I wonder about often.
What I can say with some certainty is that little green men in flying saucers shot down zero missiles in Syria on April 14 2018. That seems worth clarifying because some people have been trying to push that narrative for years. I don’t know the truth about all that stuff but nothing like that happened last weekend.
World War Three seems like a bad idea and I know I get scared easily. Currently I am worried about people making the wrong choices based on incomplete information. Both sides in the Syrian war are only threatened by each other. From my perspective it is OK to stop World War Three but it’s not OK to tell everyone what to do in most other situations. Actually I think telling is OK but that doesn’t mean anyone has to listen.
@ veryveryfrightening:
Respectfully; exactly what’s the point your trying to make?
I have no idea what you’re saying here. Can you rewrite your comment to make it less oblique? Or perhaps it’s just me. Can anyone give a more straightforward version of the comment?
Waiting with abated breath to see and hear this “irrefutable” evidence that it was a “false flag” operation “orchestrated” by the “Brits and the US” be revealed and what comes of it. It should be an earth shaking game changer, but somehow I doubt it, being as how “plausible deniability” and “innocent until proven guilty” has been arbitrarily claimed as the sole right of the US and the West and does not apply to any of their declared enemies such as Assad’s Syria or Putin’s Russia.
Double standards and gross hypocrisy has become so unconsciously accepted and ingrained in the psychic of the media brainwashed Western world’s population, that facts and the truth apparently are no longer relevant and of any great concern.
I pray I’m proven wrong, else I see it as inevitable that we will blindly follow our lying and morally corrupt “leaders” straight over the abyss and into hell, cheering them on while they provoke a confrontation with Russia resulting in world war three and a potential nuclear Armageddon, that will make the whole question of “irrefutable evidence” proving who’s guilty or innocent, a totally irrelevant matter.

“Syrian War Report”
Words have meanings my friend and we thus need to be extremely careful in their usage and application, particularly in times such as these we are living wherein words are carefully twisted, massaged and manipulated by modern day Amerikan disciples of Edward Bernays. What we have here is not technically speaking a war given that a war is defined as a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.
The situation in Syria is clearly one of outside forces covertly trying to partition the country and topple a legitimately elected government they do not favor for sundry & diverse reasons by purposely instigating social strife, civil unrest and the open promotion of civil war.
Thus it behooves us to reference this more properly as the Syrian Illegal Invasion Report!
“. Thus it behooves us to reference this more properly as the Syrian Illegal Invasion Report! ”
Maybe Syrian Genocide by outlaw Animal West. Nuremberg trials needed !
Looking at Pantsyr and Buk scores , Russians might work 8 days a week ( the Beatles ) to fulfill the new contracts. Good PR.
“Nuremberg trials needed !”
Kind of. Yes. Unfortunately, the Nuremberg trails were – like everything the Jewish Mafia fabricates out of thin air – only hoax trials. Worth researching this particular travesty a little bit.
Talking of hoaxes, did you know that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a British Intel asset and most likely involved first hand in the Jack the Ripper horror show staged by same agencies as a social engineering experiment?
It would be fun rereading the Sherlock Holmes novels with the knowledge that the Jewish Mafia is working exclusively in the realm of fiction to advance its global enslavement project. I bet you would find dozens of subtle post-hypnotic suggestions that serve no other goal than to confuse and break the human psyche.
_smr
It was just an answer, ok, we move the trials to Heidelberg.
I am Not fictional, no connection to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle but my parents and God.
I am sherlock from the family of Sherlock Holmes,private detective,a mistical one ( see ? ) no connection with the perfidious Albion.
” the Jewish Mafia is working exclusively in the realm of fiction to advance its global enslavement project.”
I know, Hollywood masters, Wag the dog,White Helmets, Oscar winners, nominated for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize ( War is Peace ) with no knowledge in chemistry at all, dust is chlorine or sarin gas,everybody on the planet is breathing sarin gas or chlorine. And because of that the missiles rain.
Quote: “Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman claimed that his country will not accept limitations on its “actions” in Syria from any powers including Russia”.
This proves that it is the Israelis who are determined to continue the war in Syria and that they are trying to force a confrontation between Russia and the USA. Russia should seriously strike an Israeli military asset if they keep up these violations.
“An extremely significant development today with many messages to highlight:
1. The first batch of #Syria/n refugees leaving #Lebanon back home.
2. This is the beginning of the return of refugees the world opposed for years.
3. Those returning are leaving Shabaa to Beit Jin!!!
4. The beginning of the preparation for a wider return of refugees to #Syria #Elections2019
5. Beit Jin is on the borders with #Israel and used to be under al-Qaeda control but was liberated by the Syrian Army & #Hezbollah without Russia’s air support.
Yarmouk offensive very close to be started, the combined forces of RGs, SAA, NDF, Liwa al Quds and ISIS Hunters are almost ready, hardware still arriving to the area. ISIS is already taking defensive positions, all hell won;t take long to start.” (Elijah Magnier)
