So all Russian super duper systems are not protecting even the capital? What they are doing there then?
- Israel bombs Assad:
- Thats because SAM systems were old!

- Ummm, thats because Assad had not S-300!

Nailed Him
IDF Sergeant Rotem, she caught and prevented suicide bomber in April 2014. one month later at the same checkpoint, she caught a terrorist armed with a knife and prevented a disaster again.
I've already replied here:

Kids who know nothing about the air defence are drawing such pics:
However they miss one important fact. The earth is not flat. Its round. And SAMs cant hit targets below the horizon. The range of horizon is determined by this formula:
S=3.6*sqrt(h)
S - range in km, h - jets altitude in meters.
If jet is flying at 50 m then S-400 will see it only from 25 km. Thats the major reason why air force always prevails since 1980-es.

Although the Israeli defense establishment has refused to address reports about the assassination of arch-terrorist Samir Kuntar and 10 other Hezbollah operatives overnight Sunday, it is evident that only with accurate information in real time could the hit have been done.
Security officials have explained in the past that intelligence forces' ability to locate a meeting of several senior terrorists in one place is the result of praiseworthy and consistent intelligence work, including quality teamwork.
In the past, when Major General Aviv Kochavi served as the Military Intelligence Director he taught his subordinates the need for close and methodical surveillance, emphasizing the importance of human efforts along with technological equipment.
Even today, when Maj. Gen. Kochavi serves as IDF Northern Command Head, he has maintained close ties with intelligence men and especially his replacement, Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi, regarding the close surveillance of terrorist chiefs in the Syrian Golan area.
In the last few years these terror chiefs have been organizing cells active in both gathering information and recruiting fighters against Israel and against so-called Syrian rebels.
Nearly a year ago, a number of senior Hezbollah operatives in the Syrian Golan were eliminated in an IAF strike, including Jihad Mughniyeh and an Iranian field commander under the overall command of Samir Kuntar.

I'd say Israeli intelligence is even more efficient than US one comparing the resources aviable for booth.Israel is an intelligence power and they can almost match the U.S/U.K in intelligence capabilities/gathering(especially in the middle east). This incident once again proved this. Kudos.
if russians didn't stop israel, than hezbollah might retreat their fighters from syria which will force russians to send their fighters in the battleground..

well for that they sent a commando unit inside Israel and fired those missiles, the attack as I believe happened inside Israel territory.
BIH.
