April 9, 2018: Russia is upset with Israel over a missile strike in the heart of Syria. Previously, Russia has been silent with previous Israeli intervention in Syria. Reports out of Syria indicate 14 were killed in the strike including Iranians.

Many think the missiles were a response to a Syrian poison gas attack held in east Damascus over the weekend. At least 40 people were killed.
“This is a very dangerous development. I hope at least that the US military and those of the countries participating in the coalition led by the United States understand that,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
On a curious note, some local sources are indicating Russian staff was tipped to the attack. See the tweet below from a journalist.
“Security sources tell me Russian advisors left Tayfour airbase last night, they were forewarned about the airstrikes.”

He is a former IDF Major General.
