“Moscow imposed on Tel Aviv a military coordination in advance for any military operation carried against Syrian military targets or against Hezbollah in Syria, to prevent any fatal accident. Senior military officers on both sides will maintain regular meetings and contacts to allow a smooth Russian military presence in Syria. Above all, Russia would like to avoid shooting down an Israeli jet in case one of its officers is hit by mistake while present in a convoy or in special mission. Israel and Russia will also coordinate naval operations off the coast of Syria, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, where there is a large Russian naval base”, said a decision-maker source in Damascus.You can bet that every weapons convoy to Hezbullah will now include a Russian officer.
According to the source, quoting a Russian envoy that referred details of the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “the promenade era of Israel over the sky of Syria is ending. Israel agreed to stop hitting any military target or convoy on Syrian land under any excuses or without prior coordination with the liaison officers that will be established starting form next October. President Putin opposed the U.S President Barack Obama when he decided to hit President al-Assad. Therefore, Netanyahu’s national security concern would be Russia’s priority. None the less, Putin confirmed that Israel has the right to hit any military convoy leaving Syria and entering the Lebanese soil if suspected of carrying weapons to Hezbollah ».One has to wonder whether hitting such weapons convoys once they are in Lebanon is too late. That has been the presumed value all along of hitting them while they are still in Syria.“Russia is becoming the guarantor and the coordinator of rival parties and countries, like Hezbollah, Syria and Israel as well as the striking force against extremist groups the Levant, like Jabhat al-Nusra (al-Qaeda in Sham) and the group called “Islanic State” (IS). Hezbollah agreed to limit all military activities in Syria without hitting Israel as long as the Russian forces are present on the ground and Israel won’t hit Hezbollah in Syria” confirmed the source.
But the Russian intervention imposed a forced rhythm on the United States and Europe to change the rules of the game. The international focus needs to be orientated toward the fight against terrorism and not to change Assad. With or without the Syrian President, ISIS and al-Qaeda have no intention to leave the country. Therefore, the U.S current method used to contain extremists by adopting a soft approach is not successful. Russia believes a more rough methods are required and is preparing to carry more raids in one single month, equivalent to nearly a year of airstrikes carried by the coalition against terrorists”, said the source.In other words, because Obama never had a real policy, Russia will now 'have' to impose one. #ThanksObama.
Its not going to get any nicer.
Someone remind me: is Russia Gog or Magog?
So, this is how the shooting part of WWIII begins.
Good luck, I’d bet on the IAF pilots in close air.
Another move on the chessboard by the Russians.
Meanwhile, Obama is trying to play tiddlywinks with two of his pawns.
What a game.
what’s the story to anyone who knows?
who has the bigger and/or better air force?
The IAF had no problems shooting down Ivan piloted Egyptian MIGs during the 1960s/70s.

Seems like the Bible's prophecies continue to unfold in real time.

Very inaccurate headline.
Israel agreed to stop hitting any military target or convoy on Syrian land under any excuses or without prior coordination.
Putin confirmed that Israel has the right to hit any military convoy leaving Syria and entering the Lebanese soil if suspected of carrying weapons to Hezbollah
Well I guess the jews will have to nuke Iran AND RUSSIA.
OH WELL.
“According to this story (translated from an Arabic original here), “
Does anybody think Bibi would actually agree to this?
What? ø being upstaged for the end of the world? This cannot stand.
Neither. Kingdom of the North.
Thanks. Knew I was missing something.
Who is China? They are about to be in the ME in Syria next to Israel. (Gee, nothing could go wrong here.)

I suspect the take of the Arabic website. That the IAF pilots would be shot down is an assumption, historically Russian pilots flying for Syria and Egypt have not fared well.
