Russian military personnel said they are assisting Syrian forces patrolling the Golan area in the Quneitra field near the “Bravo Line” that separates Syrian and Israeli forces.
“The most important thing is the work of the personnel. We are conducting joint exercises, which include evacuations, transferring reinforcements and repelling attacks,” the commander of one of the Russian brigades said in an interview with TASS. “Our mission is to monitor the ceasefire, show the Russian military presence and protect the Russian army,” he added.
It is noteworthy that the Russian military police guarantee security in the area after expelling the armed groups from the Quneitra camp. Russian forces deployed 5 observation points near the withdrawal line, which was previously monitored by the UN peacekeepers.
The Russian newspaper “Nizafismaya Gazeta” reported on what it said was a “trap prepared by Damascus and Tehran” for Moscow. In an article, he said that the visit of the new Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal al-Miqdad to Iran, his first trip abroad in this situation, showed the priorities of the foreign policy of Damascus.
In Tehran, the Syrian Foreign Minister received a promise from President Hassan Rouhani that the Syrian government would continue to receive the necessary assistance until such time as all the lands were returned to his control, including the Golan Heights, which are occupied by Israel. .
According to the newspaper, “Rouhani’s words about the Golan could only worry Israelis. Especially since this Syrian region has become, in recent months, a source of problems for the Jewish state.” “The issue is not limited to Iran. On December 9, Israeli law enforcement forces were forced to use force to disperse protests in the Golan. At night, Druze community leaders asked residents of the villages of Majdal Shams, Baqatha and Masada to demonstrate against plans by the Israeli authorities to erect a monument, “he added. Wind generation towers in the region “.
He cited the expert from the Russian Council on International Affairs, Kirill Simeonov, that Al-Miqdad’s visit to Iran demonstrated who he is, in fact, the most important ally of official Damascus. Furthermore, the Syrian leadership has shown that it plans to remain an integral component of the Iranian “axis of resistance” in the future.
Simonov expressed confidence in this, saying: “It is almost impossible to expect changes in this approach, and it is unlikely that Iran itself will reconsider its relations with the Syrian Arab Republic.” “Iran will prefer, as in the past, to maintain its military presence in Syria, including on the Israeli border,” he added.
