Syrian army chief visits Quneitra, Syrian Golan
2015-01-12
[Ynet]. The Syrian army's chief of staff, General Ali Abdullah Ayyoub, went on an unexpected tour of the Quneitra area and the Syrian Golan Heights this week amid the cold and snowy weather.
Did he have any Russians with him, perchance?
The army commander arrived in the area to "assess the troops' preparedness," or rather the preparedness of the troops still left in the area after the Syrian regime lost most of the control of the border area and large parts of Quneitra to al-Qaeda rebel group al-Nusra
...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant...
 Front.

During the tour of several Syrian army posts in Quneitra, Ayyoub was surveying the area accompanied by the Syrian army's top brass.
