Israel says it took out one-third of Syrian air defenses in two years
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli Air Force has destroyed a third of Syria’s advanced air defense systems over the past two year, according to Israeli military assessments.
According to the military, the air force has attacked 955 sites in Syria over the last three years. Over that period, 844 missiles were fired at Israeli aircraft. Only one has ever managed to bring down a plane.
The army rarely reveals specific numbers about the scope of its Syria program. The last time Israel released information of this scope was in January 2019.
