Was this another attempt to start a war… Syrian air defence missile explodes on Cyprus hillside near capital Nicosia ?

Israeli warplanes fired missiles targeting Syrian military positions in Homs and the Damascus outskirts overnight in an attack that killed at least four civilians and wounded another 21.

Mr Ozersay tweeted: "The first assessment is that a Russian-made missile, part of the air defense system, which was part of the air defense system that took place last night in the face of an air strike against Syria, completed its range and fell into our country after it missed."

Earlier, Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci said the incident was linked to military operations in the Middle East.

ETA - Intrigued, I used googlemaps to measure the distance from Damascus in Syria to the hillside just north of Nicosia in Cyprus where the missile exploded:

1) If the air attack was from Israel then why did the defence missile fire North West instead of South?

2) The distance between Damascus and Nicosia is 200 miles… which is 322 km (Skull&Bones identifier):

3) Here's where it gets interesting… if the Russian missile was part of the S400 missile system then NONE of the missile types have a range of 200 miles!!! If the missile was an S-200 instead, then that only has a maximum range of 160 nautical miles.

This means the missile could not have "run out of fuel", it was deliberately targeted at Nicosia… see link for range of each missile type.
