Israel has set up a joint mechanism with the Russian military to coordinate their operations in Syria and avoid any accidental confrontations, a senior Israel military official said Thursday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of military regulations, said that teams headed by each of the militaries' deputy chiefs will hold their first meeting in two weeks and will discuss coordination of aerial, naval and electromagnetic operations around Syria.

Wow, this has to be awkward. Russia is allied with Syria which is allied with Hezbollah, who wants to kill all Israelis. You’d need to keep a list of players in front of you at all times.
So, an Israeli is captured by Hezbollah and Israel seeks Russia’s help getting him back. How would that work out? And, what would be the potential fallout from the various outcomes?
The events occurring in the Middle East now...like deja vu, I’ve heard these headlines before, but they weren’t headlines. It was an older pastor talking about end times when I was a kid.
Sounds like a deal.....
Who says Obama isn’t a uniter? Israel and Russia working together and Obama helped make it happen...
Whoa! This is huge!
Therefore, Syria defending Palestine for pan Arab nationalist reasons is a dead ideology. Syria's Assad's ruling clique is Alawite Shia and the Sunnis Arabs are trying to genocide them so why defend them? Putin could tell Assad by recognizing Israel it would catch Washington and Europe off guard who now call him a monster. Suddenly he is a peace maker.
Russia remains in Syria to protect Alawites and Christians (they tend to live near each other in defensible mountain positions) and Russia controls Syria's export pipelines from Iraq and Iran and cuts off the Saudi Gulf Arab pipelines.
I doubt it’s anything that far reaching. More like neither side wants to get in a shooting war with each other over the skies of Syria. Just enough cooperation to stay out of each other’s way.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Your “Older Pastor” and I have read the same Book! :-)
If Russia is fighting along side Hesbollah...doesnt it naturally follow that Russia would extend its Air Force to cover their homeland of Lebanon?
If Russia is fighting along side Hesbollah? I discount that Debka article. I just read that Hesbollah is withdrawing from Syria probably to get out of the Russian’s way.
Wow! .. is right.
How do you “coordinate” with an enemy and NOT GIVE AWAY IMPORTANT SECRETS THE ENEMY WILL BE ABLE TO USE AGAINST YOU ..??
I came to the same conclusion.
Russia may end up in a better position to keep those dogs on a leash. Sort of like the way China has some influence over the rabid North Korea. I have no doubt the Israelis brought those legitimate concerns to the table. Certainly Israel has learned that we are both ineffectual and untrustworthy. They may just be making the best of a bad deal.
Perhaps. Maybe Pootie doesn’t want Damascus to fall because he wants to stop the end times....he is very rich and living the high life! :-)
The end times would be a buzz-kill for him... :-)
This Syria news is like major stuff and I am hearing NOTHING from the press. Is the press waiting to get the official Obama spin before they start reporting?
I agree also, all
And I trust Netanyahu - one hellava lot more than our Pres-ent.Putin has been calling for a long time for the other world leaders to step up and stop this wholesale slaughter of Christians by ‘bummer’s friends..
None have.
So, he’s going to do it...with Netanyahu’s blessing
“bummer’s teeth are grinding...a lovely sound.
