I agree it would be a missile type attack if it was warranted, but there's something I don't understand.
Back a few years ago, when either Hezbollah or Hamas (not sure which) kidnapped that Israeli soldier, the IAF bombed the main airport runways in Beirut, blew up bridges that crossed from Lebanon into Syria also. When Israeli intelligence discovered Assad was at his vacation home in NW Syria, the IAF flew in low ands fast, causing several sonic booms directly over his house. Letting him know they better not take that soldier to Syria. All aircraft returned safely.
When the Israeli's discovered the nuclear facility the Syrians were building, the IAF flew in and took it out. Again, all aircraft returned safely.
We don't want to expose American pilots to the so called Syrian air defense sytems, and yet the Israelis, don't have much problem with this sytem at all. What do they know, that we don't?
