Trump Blames Syria about Russian Aircraft Falling in the Mediterranean

US President Donald Trump said Syria was a shooter of Russian military aircraft that crashed in the Mediterranean Sea. Trump's statement contradicts the Russian Government which previously accused Israel of being the source of the incident.

"It sounds to me, and in my opinion, based on the fact review, that Syria shot down Russian planes. And I understand that around 14 people were killed and that was very sad but that was what happened, "Trump said as quoted by Reuters.



Trump added that his party was currently trying to "clean up" Syria from the Islamic State (IS) group.

"We have done extraordinary work in Syria and in the region eradicated ISIS, that's why we are there. And we almost finished the job, "he said.

Regardless of Trump's assumption, the Russian Defense Ministry will steadily retaliate against Israel's actions which are alleged to have carried out hostile actions against his country.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, IL-20 military aircraft, in which there were 15 soldiers, crashed because of Syrian anti-fighter aircraft gunfire which was the Red Bear State's ally.

Although actually because of Syria, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Israel must take responsibility. This is because at the time of the incident, Israeli fighter jets were carrying out air strikes on Syria.

Therefore, Russian aircraft near the Israeli attack area did not have time to escape. The plane was finally hit by a shot and then fell.

Russian aircraft lost from unintentional radar shot by Syria

Russian Ilyushin Il-20 reconnaissance military aircraft that disappeared from radar late Monday (09/17/2018) was accidentally shot down by its own ally, Syria.

The news was revealed by a US official who understood the incident, as reported by CNN Tuesday (9/18/2018).

The anonymous official said the fall of Il-20 after the Syrian defense system made a counter-attack on Israeli fighter jets.

Four F-16 fighter jets held attacks in Latakia Province. When replying to that, the Il-20 aircraft carrying 14 personnel was hit.

Washington understands the incident after Syria broadcast an international radio frequency call for rescue requests.

The US then received a message directly from a country regarding the type of aircraft being shot and the shooting situation.

The official did not explain which country gave the aircraft details. However, the strong suspicion that the country that described it was Russia.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that the Soviet-made aircraft disappeared in the Mediterranean Sea, 35 kilometers from the Syrian coast.

The plane was shot at 11:00 p.m. local time. The Kremlin official said, the fall of Il-20 was an "unexpected critical incident".

In his statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense said there was a country that helped Israel attack Latakia which is the base of President Bashar al-Assad.

One of them is France. Moscow said there were missiles fired from their destroyer, The Auvergne.

Paris denied the allegations. While the US said they also did not launch any missiles to Syria.

The loss of IL-20 came hours after Russia guaranteed that it would not carry out attacks in Idlib Province.

In a meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for one hour, the two agreed to form a demilitarized zone.

In the 15-20 kilometer wide zone, communication lines will be established between the remaining rebel groups and the Syrian government on 1 October 15.

Putin said, the effort was expected to make radical groups such as the Al-Nusra Front to leave the Idlib.

Russia intervened to assist the Assad regime in the Syrian conflict in 2015. Together with Damascus, they intend to attack Idlib which is the rebel's last base.

Sighting to the Armory, Israel Attack Syria

Sighting to the Armory, Israel Attack Syria

Israel attacked Syria again on Saturday (9/15) last night. One area near the airport in Damascus was the target of this attack.

According to Syrian state media reports a number of Israeli missiles successfully prevented Syrian air defense. "Our air defense system foils Israeli missile aggression," the SANA news agency quoted a military source as saying on Sunday (9/16).

Meanwhile, the leader of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in the UK said yesterday's missile attack targeted weapons depots in the airport area.

The place is known to have just brought weapons to the Iranian or Lebanese Hezbollah militia. Even so, the Israeli military spokesman has not commented on the foreign report.

A separate statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was still working to prevent the enemy, so his country armed itself with sophisticated weapons.

"Our red line is as sharp as before and our determination to target it is stronger than before," Netanyahu said as quoted by Haaretz page on Sunday (9/16).

In early September, Syrian state media reported Israeli jets attacking military targets in the northwest Syrian city of Hama with a target of Iranian positions there.

In the previous month, in August, Syrian chemical weapons development scientist Aziz Asber was killed with his personal driver when the car he was driving exploded in a city near Masyaf, northwest Syria. State media accused the Israeli attack of Aziz's death.

Several strikes near Masyaf have also been linked to Israel in recent years, including on July 22. In May, Israel said it attacked almost all Iranian military infrastructure in Syria.

The attack targeted Israeli-controlled areas in the broad military exchanges that had existed between the two hostile countries.

Earlier Israel admitted to carrying out airstrikes in Syria aimed at reducing the capacity of Iranian troops and allies, including the Lebanese Shiite group which supports Assad in the country's seven-year civil war.

Senior Israeli officials noted that the Israeli military had attacked more than 200 targets and fired 800 missiles and mortars during the past year and a half.

Germany Willing to Help Redevelop Syria

Germany Willing to Help Redevelop Syria

Germany is ready to contribute to rebuilding Syria if a political solution is found in the form of political change in the country, affirmed the German Foreign Minister, Heiko Maas, Friday (09/14)

A few hours before meeting his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Berlin, Maas responded to Russian President Vladimir Putin's request in August for Europe to help with reconstruction in Syria. "If there is a political solution in Syria that leads to free elections, then we are ready to take responsibility for reconstruction," wrote Maas on Twitter.

"It is in our interest that Syria be a stable country. For that, reconstruction is needed. And we have an important role in that."

At the same time, Maas also underlined the request for government in Berlin for Moscow to use its influence to make Syrian President Bashar al-Assad withdraw from Idlib.

Idlib is an area that Syria wants to recapture with the help of its allies. Currently, Idlib is still controlled by opposition militias who oppose the government of Bashar al-Assad. Idlib is the only area that is outside the control of the Syrian Government.

The Russian-backed Assad regime mobilized soldiers around Idlib in recent weeks. This situation sparked fears of an air and land attack.

During a visit to Berlin last August, Putin had asked Europe to fund the reconstruction of Syria to allow millions of refugees to return. "We need to strengthen humanitarian efforts in the Syrian conflict," he said.

Germany has been flooded with one million asylum seekers since 2015, most of whom fled the war in Syria and Iraq.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is now also preparing a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday (14/09) in Sochi. "The meeting is being prepared," said a Kremlin spokesman.

Turkey's top diplomat, Mevlut Cavusoglu, told reporters in Islamabad that the leaders would discuss the Syrian crisis later Monday.

360,000 people killed during the 7 years of the Syrian war

More than 360,000 people have been killed in Syria in the war for 7 years.

That was the statement from the Human Rights Monitoring Agency in Syria (SOHR) on Thursday (09/13/2018), as reported by AFP.

Meanwhile, the international community is concerned about the Syrian government attack on rebels in Idlib province which will be a major bloodbath.

Syrian War


So far, there were 364,792 people recorded as dead, of which one third were civilians.

The number of victims shows an increase of around 13,000 in the past six months.

In detail, the war killed 110,687 civilians, including more than 20,000 children and nearly 13,000 women.

More than 124,000 pro-government fighters have been killed, about half of them in government regime forces and the rest consisting of Syrian and foreign militias loyal to Assad.

Among them, there were 1,665 casualties from the Lebanese Hezbollah movement.

SOHR recorded the death of 64,000 people from hardline groups, including from the ISIS group and former Al-Qaeda affiliated factions.

As many as 64,800 members from other groups, including rebels, defected soldiers and the Kurdish faction, have also been killed since the war raged in 2011.

End of humanitarian assistance from Israel

Regarding humanitarian assistance, the Israeli military announced the end of operations on humanitarian and medical assistance for Syrian residents in the Golan Heights.

Israel has a policy of providing assistance to Syrian residents who reach the Golan armistice, without engaging in conflict.

"This humanitarian assistance has ended with the return of the Syrian regime in the southern part of Syria," said an Israeli military statement.

In the past five years, as many as 4,900 Syrian civilians, including 1,300 children, have been treated at Israeli hospitals.

About 7,000 Syrians were also treated in emergency hospitals near Holan's ceasefire line.

Food, medical equipment, medicines, tents, generators, fuel and clothing were given to them as part of "Operation Good Neighbor"
