The firing of the anti-aircraft missile is not the first instance of wild behavior by Syria. Despite relying on older munitions acquired from Russia, the missiles pose a credible danger beyond their alleged use in self-defense. Examples from this weekend, 2017, 2019, and 2020 highlight the threat that Syria's ad hoc use of such weaponry poses for the entire region.
It is time for Israel to receive a wake-up call. Scolding and condemnation of the country by Western authorities eager to maintain positive relations are simply not enough. The authorities in Israel continue to act provocatively, using only force and violence to achieve their goals. The world must wake up to this reality.
