Putin agrees to keep deconfliction mechanism in place
Israel likes to attack Syria, and while officials will mostly claim its about Iran, such strikes continue with alarming regularity, the only pause being when Israel is unsure if Russia is still comfortable with them.
This summer Russia suggested they wanted to slow down Israels attacks, but today Israels Housing Minister reported that theyve come to an understanding whereby Putin will keep a deconfliction mechanism in place, and allow Israel to strike Syria with no response.
Details are not offered, as Israel tries to spin this as them getting everything they wanted at no cost. Russia has long had conditions on Israels attacks, however, and its unlikely that those arent still in place.
In particular, Russia has long warned Israel to keep its warplanes away from Russian bases, and thats likely still part of the understanding. Russia has also been bolstering Syrian air defenses, a process which may be ongoing.
With a public imprimatur, Israel will probably increase strikes once again, though as in the past this is likely to mostly involve targeting Shiite militias.

I can recall in the mid 70s in Chicago a synogogue near lakefront on north side that had a sign, "SAVE SOVIET JEWS". ;)

They wanted Egyptian jews too, to work as trash collectors and sewer maintenance. Search on Lavon Affair.

That is some good stuff, Dak.
I was reading some and find that those Jews were all involved in Zionist activity.
If you will recall, Arafat said the main problem in Israel was the Zionists.
When I worked for Illinois State Highways we had this big shot engineer who wrote an Op-Ed for the Chicago Tribune which was titled, I Am A Zionist.
He was in the yard one time. His car was dirty and I wrote WASH ME on it. When he saw it he started jumping up and down and screaming.
They made the yard toady wash his car. ROTFLMAO!
