I24NEWS: The Russians have been steadily gaining control over the Syrian Golan Heights region in recent weeks, establishing their own strong militia in the area, Hebrew-language outlet N12 reported Friday.
Taking control over three Syrian provinces adjacent to the Israeli border -- Daraa, Quneitra and Jabal al-Druze -- the Russian-backed militia may prove to become a safe zone cushion to Israel's northeastern border.
This recent development is a positive turn of events as far as Israel is concerned
