Either Israel has unequivocally proven that Syria is 100% responsible for the grave error... which seems unlikely given its been less than 24 hours.
Or it isn't in Russia's interest to publicly fall out with Israel right now.
Putin and Netanyahu have been very cosy of late, while Israel has been allowed to bomb Iranian forces in Syria with Russia turning a blind eye.
So whatever they got cooking, it's worth Putin publically swallowing a bitter pill over.
His people won't be happy with this at all.
