U.S. Weaponry Is Turning Syria Into Proxy War With Russia
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Insurgent commanders say that since Russia began air attacks in support of the Syrian government, they are receiving for the first time bountiful supplies of powerful American-made antitank missiles.
With the enhanced insurgent firepower and with Russia steadily raising the number of airstrikes against the government’s opponents, the Syrian conflict is edging closer to an all-out proxy war between the United States and Russia.
The increased levels of support have raised morale on both sides of the conflict, broadening war aims and hardening political positions, making a diplomatic settlement all the more unlikely.

Syrian civil war now a proxy war between US Russia
There has been a proxy war going on for over two years now. I've been saying it myself for that long. People denied it vehemently back then, but it was clear to anyone researching the issue in depth.

Report: Israeli Air Force attacked Hezbollah targets in Syria
Israeli fighter jets penetrated Syrian airspace and attacked numerous Hezbollah targets in the South of Syria, according to Syrian media Saturday.
Estimated targets included a weapons convoy destined for Hezbollah fighters traveling through Syria. According to reports, up to a dozen Israeli war planes conducted the mission close to the Lebenon-Syria border in the Qalamoun Mountains region.
Defense officials declined to comment on the report.
This would be the first attack attributed to Israel since Russia began operating in the area.
