The Israeli Defense Minister’s statements came in response to the allegations that stated that Russia may close the Russian airspace to the Israeli air force.

Lieberman said, “We will not allow Syria to be turned into an advanced Iranian base against the state of Israel and we are continuing to work. Therefore, we have every means and potentials to deter this risk.”

According to Reuters, the Israeli army will continue to rely on the coordination with the Russian military command in Syria in order to avoid collisions in the Syrian airspace.

In a telephone conversation with Avigdor Lieberman, the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that as a result of the irresponsible actions of the Israeli air force, a tragedy that led to killing 15 Russian soldiers has occurred after the Russian IL-20 aircraft was landed in Syria.
