Iran sending advanced anti-aircraft batteries to challenge Israel
Israel carries out strikes in Syria in an attempt to thwart Iranian entrenchment and the smuggling of advanced weapons to Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon.

Iran has begun deploying advanced anti-aircraft missile batteries to the region, including in Syria where Israeli jets routinely carry out airstrikes, in an attempt to challenge Israel Air Force jets.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria in an attempt to thwart Iranian entrenchment and the smuggling of advanced weapons to Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon, according to foreign reports, and in countries like Iraq and even further as part of its war-between-wars campaign against Iran.
Over the past year, while Israeli strikes have intensified in Syria, the response time by Syrian air-defense batteries has become quicker. This has lead to the IAF changing how it acts during such operations, including by having larger formation during operations so that more targets can be struck at once instead of having jets return to the same target.
In 2018, an F-16 crashed in northern Israel after it was struck by an S-200 missile fired by Syrian forces during an Israeli operation. Syrian missiles have also landed in Israel in recent years, including this year when shrapnel from one missile hit northern Tel Aviv, and when another errant interceptor missile landed close to the Dimona nuclear site in the Negev Desert.
Iran is a top priority for Israel’s military, and Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi has set aside an additional defense budget for war readiness and military exercises. The IAF has also resumed intensive training for scenarios in which Iran’s nuclear facilities are targeted.

In an attempt to challenge Israeli jets, Iran has changed the deployment of its anti-aircraft missile batteries, separating their radars from the missile launchers. Such a move forces more Israeli jets to take part in any possible operation against the country’s nuclear program.
The Israel Air Force understands that the Islamic Republic’s defense industry is robust. While it might not have an air force, its drone capabilities are worrisome and pose a major threat to Israel and other regional countries, as seen by the 2019 Aramco attack and the recent deadly Mercer Street attack earlier this year.
Defense officials have identified an increased amount of Iranian drones in the hands of Hezbollah, Hamas, and other terrorist groups.
Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah have all used weaponized drones to carry out attacks after they invested in drone capabilities.
Drones have breached Israeli airspace in recent years, leading the IDF to scramble jets or fire missiles. Hamas used Iranian drones during the last war in May, and several Iranian drones tried to breach Israeli airspace in the North of the country.
Following the Mercer Street attack, Defense Minister Benny Gantz warned that Iran has used its drones in several attacks, and that is “exactly why we must act now against Iran. Iran not only strives to gain nuclear capabilities, but it is also sparking a dangerous arms race and sowing instability in the Middle East via terrorist militias armed with hundreds of UAVs, in Iran, Yemen, Iraq and other countries.”
Warning that the threat posed by Iran is “not a future threat but a tangible and immediate one,” Gantz vowed that Israel will work to remove any threat against Israeli citizens and interests.
Iranian air defenses tried to shoot down Israeli fighter jets over Syria
IDF says unsuccessful attempt two years ago resulted in no damage to planes or casualties for Air Force in what appears to be the first direct military confrontation between the two enemy countries
It was reported on Monday that during an airstrike by Israeli fighter jets in Syria about two years ago, Iranian air defenses attempted to shoot down one of the planes.
The attempt was unsuccessful and resulted in no causalities on the Israeli side, with the Iranian battery destroyed. It appears the attempted attack was the first military confrontation between the two enemy states.

Earlier Monday, the Syrian government said Israel carried out an attack in southern Syria in a frontier zone where Israel has long been concerned about the presence of Iran-backed groups.
The Israeli military declined to comment.
A Syrian foreign ministry source said Israel had committed "a new aggression in the southern region" at dawn, the Syrian state news agency SANA reported. It did not say what was hit or whether there were any casualties.
Israel has mounted regular strikes against what it has described as Iranian-linked targets in Syria, where Tehran-backed forces including Lebanon's Hezbollah have deployed in support of President Bashar al-Assad during Syria's war.

A pro-Assad source familiar with the incident said an Israeli drone had struck several sites including a base operated by Hezbollah in al Baath city in Quneitra province and a second target. A third missile hit a reconnaissance tower near a Syrian army base, the source said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based organization which reports on the war, said an Israeli aircraft had fired rockets at two positions held by Syrian government forces and their allies in Quneitra province.
The attack had caused material damage and there was no information yet about casualties, it said.
Syria was discussed last week at a meeting in Sochi between Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Assad's most powerful ally.

Bennett told his cabinet on Sunday the two secured "stable and good" understandings over Syria - an allusion to deconfliction efforts with Russian forces amid continued Israeli airstrikes on suspected Iranian assets.
They also discussed Iran's nuclear program, according to Bennett's office.
Assad recovered control of the Quneitra area from rebel forces in 2018.
Syria affirmed its right to respond to the attacks, the foreign ministry source quoted by SANA said.

Been hearing this a lot over the past few years. Do you suppose they might be of the 3rd Khordad family of something on their chassis like 9th Dey or Hael or combo of those and more?

No,its just repeating the same tired old crap.
You dont bring in one solitary sam system,you bring in an entire battery ie 6 tels+long range radar+a command post and all of the secure communications gear that goes with it,plus tel reloaders and various other assorted vehicles,and I`ve no doubt that theres a literal sh!tload more other things that I`m missing out.You cant really do transfers like this covertly.
Doing this sort of thing is really only feasible once syria has been stabilized to a certain point militarily,its not there yet,and tha the us occupation forces have left and that the israelis are left with no doubts that any attacks on transfers of this sort of equipment would be met with the harshest of responses.

Actually, the Zionists have 7 major airbases in Occupied Palestine and now with massive introduction of drones, precision missiles and loitering munitions in Hezbollah and Axis of Resistance hands, all can be shut down in the first strike and incapacitated with delayed action cluster bomblets and runaway denial munitions. That is the reason the Zionists have signed defence arrangements with Greece and British colony of Cyprus for landing rights to their airforce in case of war.
The Zionist pinprick "attacks" on Syria by standoff missiles are only for domestic consumption and have no real military value as Iranian influence in Syria is now irreversible.

Would need a OTH seeker missile since Israel drops bombs over Lebanon. The issue here is Israel will then begin using other aircraft as shields And you run the risk of what happened when Syrian S-200 shot down a Russian spy plane that Israel used as a cover off of Lebanon coast.
So in reality not a lot of options for Iran. If it decides to target the bombs itself then it becomes a rising cost since Israel can release 20-30 bombs and Iran has to spend more and more funds intercepting them. Even with Iranian lower cost of materials, it’s a losing proposition over time.
Thus the only viable alternative is to hit ONE Israeli jet and either kill pilot or take him alive as POW. This will create enough deterrence to prevent future strikes for a period of time as Israeli public will start to turn on government if pilots lives Become at risk.
Not quite. At least one Iranian AD tech/soldier was killed at T4 a couple years ago. A video of his martyrdom was published and posted here by @yavar , in the video you can even see he met Gen Hajizadeh at one point. There was rumors around the same time that Iran had unloaded an AD system to defend T4.
Again impossible to verify if he died in an Iranian AD system or a Syrian one. But his field expertise was Iranian AD systems. So it’s possible this actually happened rather than a pure psychops campaign.

Unless evidence is provided, it's basically an unsubstantiated claim by a zionist news outlet which does not even mention any sources. I know about the AD martyr but he could have been martyred inside the hangar that was struck, and not necessarily while manning a SAM system. His mission there could have consisted in advising or instructing Syrians, observing enemy air force tactics on local radars and surveillance systems etc.
