Iran Builds Facilities in Syria Close to Russian Bases to Avoid Being Attacked
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Iran is building military facilities and bases very close to Russian forces in Syria to keep them from being attacked by Israel, Israeli security sources said. Israel has learned that the Russians do not favor this activity and it is not being coordinated with Russia, as it potentially turns the nearby Russian forces into de facto human shields. The facilities were built under the guise of residential buildings for civilians, but were facilities to accommodate Iran's Shiite terrorist arm deployed in Syria.
