There have also been tensions in the deconfliction mechanism between Israel and Russia in Syria, where the Russian military maintains a presence. Israel is attacking Iranian targets in Syria who may attempt to establish themselves on Israel’s northern border or transfer weapons to Hezbollah.
In August, the Russian military in Syria announced that its air defense systems had shot down 22 of the 24 missiles launched by Israel into Syria. Two weeks later, a Russian-made missile launched from Syria landed in central Israel.
