Prime Minister Netanyahu's demand that all Iranian forces be withdrawn from all of Syria is unrealistic at this stage, Russian Ambassador to Israel Anatoly...

"This morning when I got up to go to my base, I asked myself [...] why must I serve the State of Israel, the state which I and both my brothers and my fathers served [...] and in the end what are we? Second class citizens."

The Russians also insist that the only acceptable outcome to the civil war must be reinstating Bashar al-Assad as the president of all of Syria.

The downed warplane was a Syrian Sukhoi Su-22, an antiquated machine from the 1970s

The White Helmets have been the target of a disinformation campaign by Syrian and Russian regime propaganda outlets

“Every day (people are standing) at the Israeli border, every day, calling on Israel to protect them or to allow international forces to (protect them)… we wish (the Israelis) to came here and protect these people, either under the United Nations flag or the Israeli flag. I don’t know how, but the politicians have to solve this problem.”

The IDF has deployed fully defensive measures on the Golan Height.

The Israelis waited until the Iranian transport planes had taken off empty before they attacked.

"This attack will allow the Americans to say, We have done what is necessary, then leave Syria, forcing Israel to deal with the Iranian threat on the northern border on its own."

Incoming US National Security Adviser John Bolton coordinated over the phone with Israeli National Security Advisor Meir Ben Shabbat prior to the attack.
