Unconfirmed reports say that Russian gave Israel codes for Iran and Syrian AD so they can jam these system with perfect efficiency giving them immunity to bomb both the countries .Plus since both countries share their operation Intel , the Israeli can bomb whatever they want and whenever they want.
There is confusion as to where the bombing happened. Was it near Damascus or was it near Palmyra? I believe it was near Damascus, and the reason being that if the Israeli jets were shot down, the pilots would fall in territories controlled by the "moderate" terrorists who are aided by Israel.
The other confusion is whether Israel used drones or fighter jets. Syria reports shooting down Israeli drones while Israel reports shooting down Syria SAM. If the Israelis did shoot down a SAM, I wonder how it missed the fighter jet being chased, a much bigger target, and got the SAM. Israelis shooting down a SAM would be much more believable if it were chasing an Israeli drone. A few Israeli-made drones were shot down by Abkhazian Air Defense during the Russo-Georgian War. Interestingly, Israel has been cooperating with Russia and helping Russia perfect its drones.
Now, there is a political angle to it. Netanyahu was very excited when Trump won. He imagined that he finally had the protection of Big Uncle and he could expand on his ambitions to build settlements in illegally occupied territories. However, Trump rapped Netanyahu in the knuckles and told him to hold off on his plans. So, now, it is an opportunity for Israel to provoke some kind of a retaliation from Russia, so that it can go back to looking like a victim and crying to Big Uncle in the event it gets badly mauled by Russia. Russia, for its part, does not want to increase the number of fronts it is fighting on. Russia has achieved some major victories over the past one year, and on the verge of finishing off whatever ISIS is left east of Palmyra. Once the rear is cleared, Russia can concentrate on pushing back the "moderate" terrorists out of southern Syria, where, either they will get into Jordan, or get into Israel. As it has happened many times in history, Israel might end up consumed in the flames it has stoked. These "moderate" terrorists might become Israel's Frankenstein.

could be a fake story..Its not possible to mutually giving up the intel gatherings, Israel is good enough to spy and gather intel in both Syria and Iran ..They don't need Russian support
They have only cooperation in Syrian theater to avert any misfiring against each other,
Both US and Israel next to zero penetration within Iran. Whatever penetration they have, would be through third party sources, mainly Russia.
