Report: Syria bans Iran from using its hangars after Israeli strikes
2018-05-29
A wise decision for a country with limited oil revenues and already-horrendous post-war expenses.
[IsraelTimes] Highly irregular decision follows meeting between Assad and Putin in Russia, according to Zaman Al Wasl news site, citing 'well-informed' source

The Syrian air force has forbidden Iranian forces and their allied Shiite militias from using its aircraft hangars and other facilities on its military bases, in light of repeated Israeli attacks, a Syrian news outlet reported on Sunday.

According to Zaman al-Wasl, an investigative news site generally seen as supportive of the Syrian opposition, the head of the Syrian air force, Maj. Gen. Ahmad Balloul, ordered that the country’s air bases be restricted to Syrian troops alone. The decision was made sometime in the past two weeks, though the report did not specify when.
