On August 8, two Russian army companies of Ingushet troops from the northern Caucasus set up a command post in the Syrian village of Tal al-Shahm. It is only 13 km from Israel’s Golan border.
Its commander, Col. Alexei Kozin, has thus taken charge of Syria’s border with Israel. Its been reported that his task is to set up multiple control checkpoints along that border.
This border area was designated as one of four de-escalation zones agreed on between Presidents Trump and Vladimir Putin at a meeting in Hamburg in July.
But there is Israeli skepticism about the prospect of Russian troops keeping Syrian, Iranian and Hizballah troops at bay from its northern border. Israel will soon find several hostile forces sitting pretty just across its border and far too close for safety.
These are Signs of the Last Days prophecies pointing to the Ezekiel Prophecy foretelling that Russia called Magog, along with Iran called Persia, will attempt to invade Israel in the Last Days on the mountains of Israel; a tipping point event rolling the world further into Last Days Apocalyptic Prophecy fulfillment.
