Syrian S-300 Air Defense System Shoots Down Israeli Warplane.   
DAMASCUS-Jan. 9 Israel carried out several attacks on Syrian military positions before daybreak Tuesday, the Syrian army said in a statement. At 2:40 a.m. local time (0040 GMT), Israeli warplanes fired salvo of missiles from inside the Lebanese airspace on the Syrian area of Qutaifa in the countryside of the capital Damascus, said the statement, adding that the Syrian air defenses responded by hitting one of the Israeli warplanes.
At 3:04 a.m., Israel fired two surface-to-surface missiles from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights but the Syrian air defenses destroyed them.
Israel renewed attacks at 4:15 a.m. by firing another four missiles from inside Israel, one of them destroyed by the air defenses while the rest landed near a military position in Syria, causing property losses.
The military statement said the new aggression reflects Israel's support to the terror groups in Syria and its desperate attempt to lift their morals after the "painful blows dealt to the terror groups" by the Syrian army across the country, mainly in the city of Harasta in eastern Damascus, and the northwestern province of Idlib.
The Syrian army warned against the "dangerous repercussions" of the aggression, highlighting the Syrian army's readiness to confront such attacks while continuing the war on terror groups, which it described as the "terrorist arms of Israel."
Israel has repeatedly targeted military positions in Syria throughout Syria's nearly seven-year-old conflict. Israel claims to have attacked positions or military shipments of the Shiite Hezbollah group. Israel also says it will not tolerate Irania influence near its border.
The recent steep-up attacks by the Zionist state of Israel has came so eminent after the defeat of ISIS and other terrorist group in Syria. This is clever sign that the one who created ISIS is still helping them half away with their mission

Unmanned Drones Attacks

Adding that the unmanned aerial vehicles were carrying foreign, professionally manufactured explosives.

 According to TASS the Kremlin state media confirmed that "the terrorists got a help from a technological advanced state" It's impossible the terrorists alone to attack with massive application of UAVs. Another report made by the monitoring group in Syria, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the attacks were carried out by an Islamist rebel faction that operates in Latakia Province, where the Hmeimim base is located, according to the Associated Press news agency. 

Russia's Defense Ministry said those satellite's data used in a coordination attacks could only have been obtained "from one of the countries that possesses know-how in satellite navigation." In Tuesday's statement, it noted a "strange coincidence" of a U.S. military intelligence plane flying over the Mediterranean near the two Russian bases at the moment of the attack. The Pentagon denied any involvement. "Any suggestion that U.S. or coalition forces played a role in an attack on a Russian base is without any basis in fact and is utterly irresponsible," said Marine Maj. Adrian Rankine-Galloway, a Pentagon spokesman. 

Russia has given President Bashar al-Assad's government crucial support throughout Syria's civil war and has long been at odds with U.S. support of certain rebel groups in the Syrian civil war.
