An Israeli newspaper reported that a commander in the pro-regime coalition said to Reuters that the Syrian military recently deployed additional air defenses near the border with Israel amid heightened tensions over Iran’s presence in Syria.
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 Golan Heights.
