Pro-Assad commander reveals plan to Reuters days after Israel launches
surprise drill in north, as regime forces fight to clear out remaining
rebel pockets in southern Syria

The Syrian military recently deployed additional air defenses near the
border with Israel amid heightened tensions over Iran’s presence in Syria,
a commander in the pro-regime coalition told the Reuters news agency
Tuesday.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/syrian-military-reinforcing-its-air-defenses-near-israeli-golan-report/

Syrian dictator Bashar Assad’s forces also planned to set up more anti-aircraft weapons in the area in coming days, said the officer, who
was identified as a non-Syrian who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The deployment was announced days after the Israel Defense Forces launched
a surprise exercise on the Israeli Golan Heights.

The military said the exercise was not tied to current events but was “planned in advance as part of the 2018 training schedule.”

According to the Reuters report, the air defense reinforcement included
the deployment of a Russian-made Pantsir S-1 system, also known as a
SA-22, which the commander said was meant to “renew the air defense system against Israel in the first degree.”

The Israeli Air Force destroyed a SA-22 air defense system last month
after Iranian forces launched 32 rockets at Israeli military positions on
the Golan Heights, the army said at the time.

After weeks of threats and in retaliation for Israeli preemptive strikes,
on May 10, the IRGC’s al-Quds Force launched 32 rockets at Israel’s
forward defensive line on the Golan Heights border, the IDF said. Four of
them were shot down; the rest fell short of Israeli territory. In
response, over the next two hours Israeli jets fired dozens of missiles at Iranian targets in Syria and destroyed a number of Syrian air defense
systems.

Israel also destroyed a significant amount of Syrian anti-aircraft weapons
in February after an Iranian drone carrying explosives briefly entered
Israeli airspace before it was shot down. Israel immediately launched a counterattack on the T-4 air base in central Syria from which the drone
had been piloted. One Israeli F-16 fighter jet was shot down by Syrian air defenses in the exchange.

In both cases, Israel fired on the Syrian air defense systems that
attacked IAF jets. Last month, a senior air force official said the
military would not attack those anti-aircraft batteries that refrain from targeting Israeli planes.

“All batteries that fire on Israeli aircraft will be destroyed. All
batteries that do not fire on us will not be destroyed,” he said.

The pro-regime commander’s comments came as Assad and his allies prepared
to move in on the remaining pockets of rebel resistance in southwestern
Syria, as the country’s civil war begins to come to a close.

Throughout the conflict, which has killed approximately half a million
people and driven nearly a million out of their homes, Israel has waged a relatively quiet campaign against Iran’s military presence in Syria.

Israel fears that as the civil war winds down, Iran, whose forces and
Shiite proxies have backed Assad, will entrench militarily in Syria and
turn its focus — and missiles — toward Israel.

As a result, Israel has vowed not to tolerate any Iranian forces in Syria.

Diplomatically, in recent weeks, Israel has stepped up its negotiations
with Russia, and to a lesser extent the United States, in order to secure
an Iranian withdrawal from Syria.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also traveled to Germany, France and the
UK last week to try to get support for this position.

According to reports, Moscow is prepared to force Iran to pull its forces
from the area closest to the border. Israel has rebuffed the offer,
calling for Iran to pull out of Syria entirely.

On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Iranian-backed forces stationed on the Golan border, including from the Hezbollah terror group,
had begun posing as Syrian military units, in a ploy to try to stave off pressure from Israel.

Multiple Syrian rebel commanders told the American newspaper that Lebanese Hezbollah troops and other Iranian-backed militias withdrew from the Daraa
and Quneitra provinces in Syria’s southwest near Israel, but later
returned dressed in Syrian military uniforms and under the regime flag.

One commander told the paper that the convoys were returning equipped with rockets and missiles.

“It’s a camouflage,” Ahmad Azam, a commander with the rebel Salvation Army, a rebel group based in Quneitra told the Wall Street Journal. “They
are leaving… in their Hezbollah uniform and they are returning in regime vehicles and dressed in regular [Syrian] army uniforms.”

### - "don't fire on us and we wont fire on you" - basically means for
assad to ignore an impending israeli attack via syrian airspace upon
iranian installations sited in syria!?

iran came to syria's support/aid in fighting-off the rebels in a civil war started by the west in an effort to over-through his government, so can't
see old assad suddenly turning on iran now by 'giving' israel permission
to do anything they want and they wont try to stop them in a "don't fire
on us and we wont fire on you" agreement?? it's nuts! it's like israel
thumbing their noses at syria & iran both! knowing that they'll never
agree!

and thus basically means; look out syria, because under those conditions
israel is shortly gonna kick the livin' snot outta both syria AND iran
under the guise of getting iran outta syria!

(mmmmm 50-bucks... uuuggghhhhghghhh/drool ahahahha...)

Jeez Slider I didn't realise you were so hard up for cash. $50 is
nothing to me. Should be nothing to anyone who is in their 60's and
had their eye on the ball over their productive years (if you ever had
any productive years, which I doubt).

Sounds like you're starving, poor bugger :)

### - well not quite starving heh, i've a fixed low income which is almost enough to live on, and have also sold 10 books this month already for
example too; mana from heaven so to speak hah, as every now and then (and
quite frequently this month) a fiver literally drops into my lap
completely outta nowhere lol (10 books = approx. $90aus net royalties received...)

as for productive years heh; i didn't hoard money and pile it up like you
did; if & when i had money i spent/used it at the time/didn't hang-onto
it, anything surplus to requirements shared with those around me... the community i lived in nearly all living & existing from day to day like the
vast majority of peeps in this whole area of old london town... do you
even remember 'ordinary' people thang??

here's a nice movie for you mate; get yourself a little high on your fav.
smoke and enjoy a very strange little movie set in a future wherein no one
ever gets older than 25 and 'time' is the currency :)

people just living from day to day and paying their dues heh...

things look a bit different (and sometimes a lot clearer too) when ya
looks at things in 'that' light huh!

this is a free copy of it on youtube (albeit in reverse screen to
circumvent copyright regs etc)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9DgUkYNyPA

i.e., watch it in-light of what we're talking about above, and thus be
prepared to get 'extra-high' when a series of inner-realisations kick-in
as you're watching it, & afterwards too as the implications of it all
slowly sink in more & more... a highly enjoyable experience!

and then maybe also thereby gain a fleeting glimpse through yer' old mate slider's eyes for just a moment or 2 in the process, as from there you'll
be more able to likely approximate where i'm standing in relation to
yourself in all this...

sitting there with that 'century' or 2 on your arm!?

you fuckin' rich old bastard! lol

enjoy... :)

Fixed low income? Is that what you call the dole?

You don't read. I got into property when I was 18. That set me up
for life as far as my own property went - I have never since paid a
cent in rent to anyone. That's not "hoarding" - it's common sense,
which is not really so common.

I've had a great life spending a lot of money on me and mine. Travel,
cars, restaurants, drugs, good booze, books and muchos more. I've
stashed money like a manic prepper because who knows what's around the
corner? But I haven't done without. Because I invested in property
and I invested in my education mate, and I always had lots of nervous
energy.

Sure I remember ordinary people. I'm one of them.

Catch a recent movie called "Annihilation" for good SF. And another
with Joaquin Phoenix in it called "You were never really there" for
good noir mindfuck. Pirate them, you'll never get caught :)

### -in my book it's the same as plotting-up someplace and sitting on a
little pile that you're stuck now looking after in case it all gets away
again? you've nailed yourself down with it all! i.e., in chess you would
be classified as being: 'pinned/can't move' :)

### -right... and for ALL that, you still don't know wtf you're doing?? :)

oh you've been having a great time alright; pissing your one & only life
up some proverbial wall?

plus an sure it WAS fun! AT the time! only that's all like a dream by now
ain't it!

did any of it even really happen? - if you 'wanted' to waste a whole heap
of precious + irreplaceable time, then you've actually done quite well! -
but what about NOW??? what 'good' did all that ultimately DO for you... in
the NOW?

nada! - it 'could' even be said that you actually spent all those years... hiding?

from what... Reality perhaps? 'coz that's what people do alright! almost
any excuse!

Sure I remember ordinary people. I'm one of them.

### - no thang... you were never 'normal' sport...

plus you can thank your lucky stars you weren't!

i mean, hardly 'anyone' ever gets a break like that??

taking 'advantage' of that being the case might just be another something altogether though!

people more often 'resenting' their differences instead of celebrating
them?

(have to be very smart to do something like that old chum...)

here's a nice movie for you mate; get yourself a little high on your
fav.
smoke and enjoy a very strange little movie set in a future wherein no

### - we live on very small island here, and accordingly most (if not
nearly all by now) torrent sites have been universally blocked by law at
the exchange level? (yeah they've done that + are taking keen note of
anyone circumventing it too no doubt...)

such idealistic visions people once harboured of a totally free internet
eh?

up the revolution!? (yeah right up! right up the spout! hah!)

naw, they've got (and are getting) the whole thing completely sown up real tight, measured, plus bought & sold by the minute; the internet in the uk
has thus been effectively jailed for life for being a potential rebel, one that's now being slowly turned into just another sheriff's-man who's
collecting the fucking taxes FOR him! - truth being: it 'never' had a
chance!
