Euphrates Post reports that the Russian military arrived on Saturday along with their special forces units and anti-aircraft defense systems.

The newspaper states, citing its sources, that the Russian military intend to deploy S-300 air-defense systems in the area.

Earlier, the Iranian forces withdrew from the Tiyas (T4) military airbase which was their main stronghold.

Israeli authorities expressed condolence over the death of 15 Russian soldiers and blamed the Syrian military forces for the incident. In addition, Jerusalem assured that it will continue bombing the Iranian armed forces located near the Israeli border in Syria.
