The monitoring group said that the strikes were supported by planes believed to be Israeli and that Syrian air defenses and Russian forces were “confronting” the missiles for over 40 minutes. Rybar said that some of Israel’s cruise missiles were shot down by Russian antiaircraft fire from Russia’s nearby base but that others hit a warehouse used by Syrian and Iranian forces.

For all that bluster about red lines, when stuff at a Russian airbase is hit by western weapons, it's radio silence from the Kremlin. I'm hoping to hell after the elections in a month that Biden will authorize use of US and European missiles against military targets in Russia.

Or just give them to Ukraine and let them use as they see fit within the bounds of rules of war.
