Russian and Saudi Arabian media are reporting an incident in which the Russian Air Force operated over Syria towards foiling an attack by the IAF in Syria.
The reports appeared on Monday, stating Israel Air Force fighter planes were heading to the T-4 Syrian Air Force base in Central Homs, when Russian Sukhoi Su-35 fighter planes intercepted the Israeli planes, compelling them to turn back and abandon their strike. The Russian fighter planes were armed and awaiting the “fire” order.
Numerous attacks against various targets in Syria, including military bases, were attributed to Israel by the Syrians in the past year. In some of those cases, it was reported the Russians threatened to down the IAF planes.
On Monday afternoon, Channel 12 in Israel quoted IDF officials as saying that the reports that Russian jets had thwarted an Israeli strike in Syria is untrue.

So what US president suffered the Russian move of its airforce into Syria? Was it that anti-Semite Obama or that friend of all Jews, Trump?
