CLOSE CALL! Russia: Israeli Airstrikes on Damascus Put at Risk Civilian Airliner With 172 passengers

An Airbus A320 flying from Tehran to the Syrian capital was forced to make an emergency landing following an Israeli missile attack, the Russian Defense Ministry said. It added that using civilian aircraft as a “shield” is “commonplace” for Israeli Air Force pilots.
The aircraft was about to land at Damascus International Airport, but was unable do so as the Syrian air defense systems engaged the hostile targets. The jet could have found itself in the crossfire if it weren’t for the Damascus air traffic control, whose “timely actions” averted a possible disaster.Please Click On YouTube Notification Bell 🔔 Next To Subscribe Button To Be Notified Of New Russia Insight Videos!
