Both Israel and Jordan fear that Iranian militias reach the border and become assimilated by the Assad regime.

When JTA repeated the term Syrian Palestinian, it gave its approval to a regime of repression against an entire underclass of Syrian residents forever prevented by government fiat from attaining normalcy.

Militias fighting alongside the Syrian army closed all roads leading from Damascus to Dara'a and nearby villages.

The IDF stressed in a statement that there was no danger of intelligence information from the aircraft leaking to the Syrians.

Lavrov failed to mention that the original layout for the "de-escalation zone" at Israel's doorstep had been designed by Russia, Turkey, and Iran, and authorized an Iranian military presence some three miles away from Israel's Golan Heights border.
