The launch of some 20 Iranian missiles at Israeli military sites, and Israel’s punishing response, is being called the most extensive confrontation in Syria since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.The volley came as little surprise, being launched after numerous warnings from the Israeli military that the Iranians were going to try something. Likewise the response was little surprise, as Israel had vowed to hit them back hard.The Ynet news website calls the overnight exchange “the start of the Israel-Iran war.”"In light of what is happening in Syria at this moment, it is necessary to ensure the continued security coordination between the Russian army and the Israel Defense Forces.
