The French intelligence online bulletin reported on the existence of a secret agreement between Russia and Israel on a "code of conduct" in the airspace of Syria aimed at reducing the likelihood of conflict between the two countries. The translation of the article, distributed by closed subscription, is published by the Russian military blog bmpd, which is maintained by specialists of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST).
The bulletin notes that in recent months, the Israeli Air Force has increased the number of strikes on Syrian territory mainly in order to interrupt the supply lines of the Hezbollah movement with modern weapons. Israeli official structures do not comment on reports of these strikes, while Moscow, which regularly speaks about the actions of the Western coalition air force, does not react to the flights of Israeli aircraft.
According to the sources of the bulletin in Russia and Israel, there is a secret agreement between the parties. The relevant negotiations were held in March 2016. On the Israeli side, the negotiations were conducted by President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chief of the General Staff of the Air Force Amir Eshel, and on the Russian side - President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
As noted in the publication, the goal of the Israelis is to prevent the supply of weapons, especially guided missiles and positioning systems, to Lebanon and the Golan Heights to Shiite armed groups. Moscow first of all received strict Israeli neutrality during the conflict between Damascus and Syrian militants.
Russia and Israel have been maintaining contacts at the highest military level since autumn 2015. On September 21, 2015, against the background of the deployment of the Russian group in Syria, the Chiefs of Staff of the two countries Valery Gerasimov and Gadi Eisenkot held talks, combined with Netanyahu's visit to Russia.
Following this meeting, a joint commission was established, co-chaired by the deputy chiefs of the General Staff of both countries. The press reported on the training of air force officers of the two countries to ensure security in the sky of Syria.
