A US online newspaper published that militia fighters linked to Iran have been dressing up in Syrian army uniforms to travel across the Middle East’s war zones without being targeted by Israel, according to reports.
As Israel and Russia allegedly hammered out an agreement to ensure that fighters linked to Iran do not operate near Israel’s border, Tehran announced last week that its fighters aren’t going anywhere because they have permission from the Syrian regime to operate in the country. But instead of facing off against Israel’s military, who has been pummeling Iranian targets in Syria with strikes for weeks, the Iranian-linked fighters have reportedly been switching uniforms with troops linked to Syrian Government in an attempt to avoid attacks and make the Israelis believe the Iranians left the border region. The move appears to be a deliberate attempt by the Syrian regime to trick Israel, who is insisting that Iran should not gain a permanent foothold in Syria.
