I am not drawing parallels at all; Israel has to defend themselves;
But as ISIS is defeated, rolled back, beaten... Hezbollah and Iran “possibly expanding”, Israel is becoming more active.
I follow the situation, Netanyahu has met with Putin 4 times in the last year, that’s nothing to sneeze at, imagine if Pres. Trump met with any foreign leader that often.

Couldn’t find that exact figure, 4 times in the last year but I do think it’s often reported on. Putin in fact, gave Netanyahu some special Holy writings not too long ago. I’m sure people remember that, a Bible, Torah, Talmud, something.
Israeli political and military leaders went directly to Moscow for a meeting just before Putin kicked it in Syria
Expect that certain agreements and deconfliction procedures were agreed regarding Israeli involvement vs Russian Air Force over Syrian airspace
