Israel warns Russia against arming Syrian government:
"Israel quickly issued a thinly veiled warning that it would bomb the Russian S-300
missiles if they were sent to Syria, as such a move would bring the advanced
guided missiles within range of civilian and military planes over Israel. Israel has
conducted three sets of air strikes on Syria this year, aimed at preventing missiles
being brought close to its border by the Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah."
