Despite S-300 Delivery

Zionist Regime Strikes in Syria to Continue


WEST BANK (Dispatches) – Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has informed Russian officials that the Tel Aviv will continue to hit targets inside Syria, irrespective of Moscow’s decision to deliver advanced S-300 surface-to-air missile systems to the Damascus government.
Speaking at a press conference in al-Quds, Netanyahu said he had told Russian Deputy Prime Minister Maxim Akimov that the occupying regime would continue to fight what he charged as Iran’s attempts to deepen its military presence in Syria and transfer weapons to the fighters of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement.
The Zionist prime minister added that he believed that the current dispute between Moscow and Tel Aviv over the recent downing of a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft off the coast of Syria’s western province of Latakia would be resolved.
"I think that with common sense and goodwill we can come to a solution that will allow the continuation of the good coordination between the Russian and Israeli militaries,” Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday that he would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin soon to discuss coordination.
On October 3, Zionist war minister Avigdor Lieberman expressed Tel Aviv’s discontent over Russia’s delivery of S-300 air defense systems to Syria, stressing the move will not deter the regime from military operations in the war-ravaged Arab country.
"I cannot say that we are pleased with the deployment of the S-300. However, this is the very topic where we have no way out. There is no way not to make decisions,” he said.
Speaking at a Russian Security Council meeting chaired by Putin earlier this month, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said his country had completed the delivery of an S-300 missile system to Syria, irrespective of Zionist authorities’ opposition that it will pose a serious "challenge" to the Tel Aviv regime.
