Media: Russian Su-34 escorted over Israeli F-16 over Lebanon
We remind you that there is an agreement between Moscow and Jerusalem on the de-escalation of conflicts near the airspace of Israel.
According to the Israeli edition, the F-16 of the Israeli Air Force, when meeting with the Su-34, had to change course and step aside. Personnel with the actions of Russian fighters over the Lebanese city of Tripoli were posted on social networks along with reports of confrontation, while the Israeli fighters themselves are not visible on them.
At the moment, neither Israel nor Russia have confirmed, but have not refuted the data on the air support of the aircraft.
According to Hadashot, Russian aircraft may have taken part in exercises from the coast of Lebanon and Syria, and may have been forced to land because of bad weather conditions.
Some Lebanese media write that everything was the opposite: when Russian Su-34 appeared in Lebanese airspace, the Israeli Air Force sent two F-16 fighter jets to the flight area, which tried to intercept the Russian Aerospace Forces, but were forced to retreat.
