Israel’s proxies in Syria to avenge Assad
By Syed Ali Hassan
Iran Daily’s correspondent in Pakistan
The considerable damage that Israel suffered during its wars on Gaza and Lebanon is now being avenged in Syria by using terrorists against Bashar al-Assad’s government. The secret preparation of this plot reportedly involved the delivery of weapons from Ukraine and the assembling of terrorists from countries like Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and South Asian nations in Turkey’s border towns.
This insidious operation went undetected by the intelligence agencies of three countries — Russia, Iran, and Syria. In this regard, Russia and Syria bear more responsibility than Iran due to the recent affinity of the former two. After admitting this intelligence failure, these three countries must change course to not rely solely on intelligence cooperation to prevent attacks on Syria’s territorial integrity. They should establish a joint intelligence system just like how the intelligence centers of Israel, the United States, France, and Britain are already working together in the region.
