The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and the Russian Military Police have established a joint observation post along the front with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, according to footage that surfaced online on March 13.
The post was apparently established to help de-escalate tensions on the front, which surged after the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip on October 7. Russian troops manning the joint post reportedly served beforehand in the special military operation zone in Ukraine.
Israel has significantly escalated its attacks on Syria since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, mainly targeting SAA sites and personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other affiliated forces.
Just a day before the joint Syrian-Russian post was opened, the IsraelI Defense Forces (IDF) struck two SAA sites in the countryside of the southern governorate of al-Qunitra where Hezbollah personnel were allegedly deployed.
The Russian Military Police began increasing its presence along the Golan front last December to de-escalate tensions caused by the Israeli war on Gaza. Russian military helicopters also began to patrol the front on a regular basis.
Russia is clearly worried of the Israel escalation against Syria. While the IDF has so far limited its operations against the country to air and missile strikes, the possibility of a more serious Israeli attack, like a limited ground incursion, can’t be ruled out.
In recent months, the IDF blew up several minefields along the Golan front. The latest one was in fact cleared on March 12.
Israel has clearly failed to defeat the Hamas Movement in Gaza. It is also failing to deter Hezbollah in Lebanon and can’t afford a direct confrontation with Iran. Faced with these failures, the Israeli leadership could see in war-torn Syria an easy target to make up for its defeat. This would be however a mistake no less costly than the ones the IDF made in Gaza and Lebanon before.

its air defenses they need permission to use not police watching the rockets fly past
the russian guards are there to protect israelis against saa
look at the chemtrail haze in the picture, they’re both captured governments, but with a different theater act for their populace.
what a joke. israel isn’t loosing on any fronts
israel is “loosing” alright. that’s why we see them fighting among themselves like the low-life criminals they are.
regime change is coming to isreal. even the usadmin is calling for it so soon the un will be calling for it too. that’s a major loss right there. the isreali apartheid regime thought the world was ready for their barbarism. they were wrong, due to their backward thinking. the world has seen enough of fake religious fanatics.
with new hyper-sonic missiles and precision drones coupled with asymmetric warfare israel/globalists will have their hands full for a long time and the globalist plans of controlling the mid-east will fail
when russia ever fired a single rocket against israel ? please remind me.
svet sa rúti do záhuby!!! ak sa to teraz nepodarí zastaviť kým je ešte čas tak nás čaká veľmi zlé obdobie!!! rusko by mali vyzvať čínu aby sa zapojila do mierových aktivít na strane rf!!! čím skôr sa tak stane tým skôr môže nastať mier!!! svetu mier!!!
an attack on syria for more land is on the cards. it always was, as syria and other neighbours of the isreali apartheid regime are presently occupying their ‘greater isreal’. it’s interesting to note that the russian forces are taking more of an active role with syria’s struggle against isreali land pirates and warmongers. maybe we shall see some russian tech take care of the western tech coming from the land of warmongers?.
russia ? protecting syria against israel ? oh really ? just fyi, on september 17, 2018, a syrian s-200 system launched a missile on israeli jet which used russian il-20m as a shield. s-200 locked on to a russian il-20m signals and killed 15 russian crew members. since then, russia banned syrian operators from firing missiles and not a single missile was fired against israeli target for 6 years already. that’s true and anybody who says anything else is a damned liar.
that was then. this is now. lots more training can be done in 8 years. the russian admin and the isreali apartheid regime have some sort of agreement going on. any agreement made with the isreali apartheid regime doesn’t usually last too long. the apartheid regime will break their agreement in ukraine, if they haven’t already.
russia has a dirty deal with netanyahu. ask putin for details.
there are plenty of pictures of putin giving freemason handshakes with assad (very odd way to shake a hand). “hidden hand” signs, etc.
the russians turn off their air defenses in syria when the israelis want to kill the irgc members,
iranians have never learned from their past history in dealing with russians.
