Russia to continue military coordination with Israel in Syria

Russia has announced plans to continue its military coordination with Israel over Syria, despite Moscow's unhappiness with Israeli statements about its invasion of Ukraine.
"Our military officials discuss the practical issues of this substantively on a daily basis. This mechanism has proven to be useful and will continue to work," said Russia's embassy in Israel.
But while voicing support for Israel's security needs, it also reiterated opposition to violations of Syrian sovereignty.
Asked about prospects for continued coordination with Russia over Syria, the Israeli military said only that its forces "will act when needed to counter threats, defend the people of Israel and our sovereignty".
