Unless both sides start to escalate. Two dying empires showing off, not good

Support in form of more advanced weapons, such as newest SAM system a.s.o, that could be the answer from Russia

Our journalist is speculating on the raid. They estimate that it will be 2-4 days campaign.

Here's a thought that I see very unlikely

Russia send 2-3 division of their most modern fighers to assisst Assad in defending Syria against an attack.

Edit:

Have just been talking with some of my friends on Facebook. They are from or live in Israel

They are afraid that Syria would attack them. Have also been told that the authorities in Haifa have tested the alarm and tested the shelters so they are ready if needed.
