The Russians deployed several S-400s in Damascus a few years ago, those can intercept most planes and remotely launched large missiles. I don't know about the whole "Lebanon retaliating" thing tho, considering that last bombing was from Israelis jets in Lebanese airspace attacking that air field.

yeah, like i said, its not like lebanon or syria are much of a threat but they have said they'd retaliate. cnn has a piece speculating what might be used and their best guesses were air launched american jassm missiles or european storm shadow missiles since they are newer and more difficult to intercept than tomahawks and can still be fired at pretty much any target in syria from outside it's borders.
