It has long been my observation that the Russian government doesn’t boast on such matters, so I reckon that what they said is what happened.

Since my comment was in response to an article containing “the Pentagon said”, it is reflective of that fact.
It should be self-evident, that there is highly likely not one department/ministry/institution/organization, whose verbal effusions can be taken at face value.
Not here, not there, not anywhere.
That’s why the Universe is providing – free of charge – ‘Critical Thinking’, as without such, it is impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to say.

Most Israeli action in Syria has been against Iranian targets and not Syrian government targets.
When Israel has hit Syrian government targets (intentionally or otherwise) Syria has done very little to hit back and only have done so in an extremely limited way as they know the risks (military and diplomatic) associated with directly taking on Israel.

True you should be very sceptical but you should also be when it comes to Russian government statements as well.

Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium; atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant. (To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace.) –Tacitus

Witnesses of the alleged chemical attack in Douma, including 11-year-old Hassan Diab and hospital staff, told reporters at The Hague that the White Helmets video used as a pretext for a US-led strike on Syria was, in fact, staged.
“We were at the basement and we heard people shouting that we needed to go to a hospital. We went through a tunnel. At the hospital they started pouring cold water on me,” the boy told the press conference, gathered by Russia’s mission at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in The Hague.

“… And as has been reported by various websites and blogs, had the missiles hit a chemical weapons facility, the resulting explosions, releasing huge amounts of CW gases, would have killed tens of thousands of civilians and made even bigger war criminals of the US-led trio than all the supposed CW releases of the Syrian government against Syrians since 2011 …”
Sorry, slipped up in my excitement to be the first to post here 🙂 though I came second in the end – here is my correction:
“… And as has been reported by various websites and blogs, had the missiles hit a chemical weapons facility, the resulting explosions, releasing huge amounts of CW gases, would have killed tens of thousands of civilians and made even bigger war criminals of the US-led trio than all the supposed CW releases of the Syrian government against Syrians made that government and President Bashar al Assad war criminals since 2011 …”

It is completly controlled by the US and its vassals. Russia or Syria get no justice there.
George Monbiot, in a recent off guardian piece said in 2003 the OPCW was a tool of the USA basically so that they do have to get rid of their chemical weapons. Add Israel to the mix.
