Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, while in Shanghai, was given a sharp dressing-down by Russian President Vladimir Putin, a warning that Russia would not tolerate further Israeli attacks on Damascus and would respond.
Putin did not say how, but he did announce he had ordered the acceleration of highly advanced Russian weapons supplies to Syria.
Israeli Debkafile’s military sources disclosed that the Russian leader was referring to S-300 anti-air systems and the nuclear-capable 9K720 Iskander (NATO named SS-26 Stone) surface missiles, which are precise enough to hit a target within a 5-7 meter radius at a distance of 280 kilometers.
In his phone call to Netanyahu, the Russian leader advised the prime minister to make sure to keep this in mind.
Since Syrian air defense teams have already trained in Russia on the handling of the S-300 interceptor batteries, they can go into service as soon as they are landed by one of Russia’s daily airlifts to Syria. Russian air defense officials will supervise their deployment and prepare them for operation.
Moscow is retaliating not just for Israel’s air operations against Syria but in anticipation of the Obama administration’s impending decision to send the first US arms shipments to the Syrian rebels.
Intelligence agencies in Moscow and the Middle-East take it for granted that by the time Washington goes public on this decision, some of the Syrian rebel factions will already be armed with American weapons.
That the measure was in the works was signified by the introduction Monday by chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Bob Menendez of legislation allowing the US to provide arms and military training to the Syrian rebels.
US military instructors have been working with Syrian rebels at training camps in Jordan and Turkey for some months. So putting the arms in their hands only awaited a decision in Washington, the Israeli website alleged.
Putin’s message to Netanyahu was intended to reach a wider audience than Jerusalem, such as Barack Obama in Washington and President Xi Jinping in Beijing ahead of Netanyahu’s talks there Tuesday.

The Title of this News Article is slightly misleading, Russia is the Biblical Gog, Chief Prince or Captain, and Magog with be under that leadership. Magog is the Biblical Germanic Empire, with many other EU countries, with the Biblical Gomer or France, the Cimmerians to her east. Many Bible translators refer to the lands immediately surrounding Israel as the Gog, Magog and Gomer entities. but if you follow their progression over the years you will see that Historians correctly identify them as further North, to the East and West of Europe, Josephus confirms it also. Russia indeed is the Guardian to the Arab countries, or Emirates, and she supplies them with weapons, especially Syria, because of her Geological position, relative to Israel. Russia also supplies arms to Iran and Irans army, Hezbollah and the Gaza, along with the UN because the UN is the smoke screen for the EU. Turkey is not aligned to Russia, and she will disappear along with Damascus, in the near future…. Russia will indeed with all her Bands, invade the Land of Israel to her detriment!
