Here also what it is all about. Russian warning to the Israel to stop with the "arbitrary" missile attacks the intended targets Iranian Revolutionary Guard Forces.

From the latest edition of the DEBKAfile newsletter:

"Moscow tells Israel to stop attacks on Damascus airport – report"

18 January.
     
"Russian officials have informed Israel that any more attacks on or around Damascus airport will not be tolerated, the London-based Al Quds al-Arabia reported Friday. Moscow is planning steps to bring the airport back to full operational and commercial capability . . . There was no comment on what would happen in the event of further Israeli attacks on Iranian flights carrying weapons or military equipment."

The international airport Damascus serves both commercial and military traffic.A dual-purpose facility and in certain instances a legitimate target of Israeli missile attack.

Attacks from the air consider not to be so "arbitrary" as claimed by the Russian.
