Iran said to be building military facilities in Syria near to Russian positions
[IsraelTimes] Tehran's gambit is apparently based on assessment that Israel wouldn't dare strike for fear of tangling with Moscow

As it works intensively to deepen its military presence in Syria, Iran is building military facilities very close to Russian forces there, The Times of Israel has learned.

The construction of these facilities is being carried out secretively, and in some cases it has begun under the guise of residential building for civilians, and only later revealed as facilities for accommodating Shi’ite fighters deployed by Iran, well-placed sources told The Times of Israel, insisting on anonymity.
