over two hundred targets over the last year and a half we've had these really defense minister avigdor lieberman in the policy very clearly that yes it targets what they perceive to be weapons shipments anything that threatens the state of israel's security all countries are involved in syria these days maryam and israel's interests concerned really a security concern is the presence of iranian forces this is why it's also had intensive negotiations with russia and also why we've had reports confirmed coming out recently that israel was supporting rebels in the southern area in that our province which recently of course the government took back for the sole purpose of making sure that iranian forces would not get close to its borders there's debate going on between the israelis as well they want to iranian forces fully out of syria and of course iran is saying that's not going to happen because they're there at the invitation of damascus so it is a very complicated picture when it comes to syria mariam and we keep talking about this looming offensive in live but you know when you look at the big

alexander moore and his contribution was highly appreciated by the israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman. who sides peeled to russia with a request to help find the remains of israeli servicemen located at specific coordinates in syria the search was organized after russia agreed the operation. with our syrian partners. and this special search operation was conducted in a comedy area controlled by isis. terrorists who suddenly attacked the russian servicemen involved in the search operation. one russian officer. was wounded. despite that russia was ready to carry on with the operation and in view of the above the hostile actions committed by the israeli air force against the russian aleutian aisle twenty aircraft crossed the line of civilized relations. the objective data the september seventeenth incident that was presented to you today shows that the military leadership reserve either has no appreciation for the level of relations with russia or has no control over individual commands or commanding officers who understood that their actions would lead to true. or right so you've just b

russian defense ministry has spoken on the telephone expressing his anger to israeli counterpart avigdor lieberman also the israeli ambassador here gary coren has been summons to the ministry of foreign affairs however we have seen a different tone being taken from the kremlin a different tone being taken by vladimir putin who has just called this. a tragic chain of events and doesn't want it to be compared to the incidents some years ago where turkey shot down a russian jet that suggest that brought me putin keeping his eye on the broader architecture of the russia israel relationship doesn't want to escalate this further and he's choosing slightly more measured language suggesting he thinks that things have worked pretty well with israel up until this point and he views this as a kind of temporary blip and he wants to move on. all right we can now go live to occupy the streets and speak to our correspondent there imran khan the statement coming out from the israeli military iran is also echoing that that tone of containment and slightly conciliatory tone insofar as they regretted the incident. t

question of what was the point, i mean, i'm very mindful that in recent days your defence minister, avigdor liebermaneen having de facto negotiation with hamas, admittedly through a third party, the egyptians, looking for some sort of long—term truce arrangement, which according to the hebrew press could involve the wider reopening of the border crossings, we've seen some of that already, a resolution of the important issue of captive soldiers and missing people that israel wants returned, and then a wider agreement on infrastructure in gaza, foreign funding of sea ports and shipping lanes, and all sorts of things. basically you describe, on the one hand, hamas as an intolerable terrorist organisation intent on your destruction, and then, after a flareup of violence, you end up talking to them and looking to do some sort of truce arrangement with them. it doesn't make sense. well, first of all, i invite you to the middle east. you will understand that many things don't make sense in our region. that's unfortunate, because you cannot predict everything that will happen with those people. if you've got

been a conversation between the russian defense minister sergei sure who and his counterparts avigdor lieberman in israel in which russia said israel was to blame for this we're getting words you like hostile provocative irresponsible that's the kind of language being thrown around by the russian defense ministry the kremlin has spoken as well. the spokesperson. dmitri peskov has basically said that the russian defense minister has given a comprehensive account of what's happened but at the moment the kremlin is not echoing kind the. of language that we've heard from the ministry of defense basically saying that it is very concerned by the incident and has transmitted the feelings of condolence to the families of those who've lost their loved ones in this incident but it seems judging by this early reaction from the kremlin that write to me a person might not want to exacerbate any kind of rift with israel and might want to play this one down rory chalons live in moscow thank you very much now we're going to go to our correspondent stephanie decker she is in taqiyya in southern turkey very clos
