สรุป
- อิสราเอลใช้เครื่องบิน 4 ลำ ไปปฏิบัติการในซีเรีย
- ซีเรียตรวจจับได้ยิง  SA-5 ไป แต่ไม่ได้ระบุว่ากี่ลูก แต่ไม่ใช่ลูกเดียวแน่ๆ
- ฝั่งอิสราเอลบอกว่า  SA-5 พลาดเป้าหมายหมด (ระยะไม่ถึง วืด ถูกแจม ไม่มีหลักฐาน) แต่มีอยู่หนึ่งลูกพุ่งไปทางเขตแดนของอิสราเอล ระบบเตือนภัยต่างๆ ทำงาน การที่ SA-5 มีลำตัวและหัวรบขนาดใหญ่ ทำให้ถูกมองว่าเป็นภัยคุกคามไม่ต่างจากพวก ballistic missile หรือจรวด scud โดยเขาไม่สนว่าจะเป็น Sam หรือไม่ ต้องยิงให้ร่วงสถานเดียว และยังบอกอีกว่า  software ของจรวด Arrow มีความยืดหยุ่นเพียงพอที่จะรับมือกับภัยคุกคามได้หลายรูปแบบ


According to a Syrian government account, the incident began at around 0240 h local time on the morning of 17 March, when four Israeli combat aircraft crossed the Lebanese border into Syrian airspace in the vicinity of Al-Burayj in Homs province and targeted a military site near Palmyra, 140 km to the east.

The Syrian military claimed it responded by shooting down one of the aircraft, but no evidence subsequently emerged to corroborate this claim.

Israeli officials confirmed later that day that Syria had launched SAMs at IAF jets operating inside Syria, but said none of the aircraft were endangered and one of the missiles was intercepted.

The official added that the Syrian military launched a volley of SA-5 SAMs in the direction of the aircraft, which were probably out of range at the time. One of the missiles was heading for Israeli territory, triggering warning sirens in the Jordan Valley, at which point the IAF shot it down with an Arrow 2 missile, a type developed to intercept ballistic missiles.

Speaking with reporters on Monday, the officer explained that the Syrian SAM launched against Israeli fighter aircraft “behaved like a ballistic threat [with] an altitude, range and ballistic trajectory” that mimicked the Scud-class targets that the Arrow 2 interceptor was designed to kill.

Defensenews.com reported that experts had wondered why Israel would launch Arrow against a missile headed for distant aircraft and ostensibly posing no threat to the homeland. They noted that the SA-5 is designed to either hit enemy aircraft or self-explode after a few seconds of engine burn.

However, it was later surmised that the Syrian-launched SA-5 could have been very old, and therefore did not self-destruct as designed. Since it remained in one piece, "all the weight was in the front and it represented a stable body, large wings and a tail … all the characteristics of a ballistic missile trajectory,” Uzi Rubin, a former director of Israel Missile Defense Organization, told Defensenews. It therefore looked like a Scud – and so the Arrow downed it.

“It wasn’t a Scud-class ballistic threat," the IAF officer acknowledged. "But from our perspective, it doesn’t matter if it was a SAM. Once it behaved like a ballistic missile weighing tons and with a warhead of hundreds of kilograms, we couldn’t allow it to threaten our cities and towns.”

Former Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ehud Barak leveled criticism of the usage of the Arrow system, indicating that Israel should have preserved its longstanding policy of ambiguity regarding periodic strike operations in Syria. However, the senior IAF officer waved off Barak's remarks, saying that Israeli air defenders didn’t think twice about acting against the approaching threat.

“No doubt about it, our mission is to detect and engage this threat," the officer said, "and that’s exactly what we did Friday morning. The mission of our air defense forces, under my responsibility, is to defend the people of Israel. And that was the case last week when Syria launched a missile that was seen as a ballistic threat to Israel.”

"Apparently the software of the Arrow system is flexible enough to cope with unexpected situations," he added. “It’s an impressive achievement for which we all should be very proud" – and thankful, it might be added.
