AS 400 Range

It was reported over the weekend that a Hezbollah leader Samir Kantar and others were killed by an Israeli air strike on the building in Damascus.

It surprises me that with all the hype over the AS400 system that the Russians have installed and the previously well functioning Syrian air defence systems that if it was an Israeli air strike that there was no functioning air defence.

Can anyone shed any light?
