>Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria
That's a mouthful.
>Russia has “run out of patience” with Israel in Syria and is planning a shift in its policies toward Israeli sorties over the country, according to the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat which cited an unnamed “well-informed” Russian source.
>Asharq Al-Awsat cited an unnamed Russian source as saying that following talks with Washington, Moscow had got the impression that “Washington does not welcome the continuous Israeli raids,” and thus believes it has the freedom to act more aggressively
I'm not saying that unknown source if bs, but they may pick their words differently and shift the emphasis on different things to play for the ear of the Arabic newspaper.
But the facts seems to be that in that attack almost all rockets were intercepted, so they really do something.
>the Russians were now supplying Syrian forces with more advanced anti-missile systems and know-how
They themselves won't face another major player in the area, just as how they don't face Turkish forces.
Nevertheless the relations with Israel, and the possibly growing influence of Iran nearby is another layer of the issue and the excitement. And another loop on the "how the Syrian situation can be resolved" Gordian knot.
