The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the start of military air patrols along the disengagement line between Syria and the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel, in southern Syria.

The Deputy Head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation (affiliated with the Ministry of Defense), Admiral Vadim Kulit, stated that the Russian air forces began air patrols along the “Bravo Line” that divides the Golan Heights between Syria and Israel.

According to what was reported by the Russian news agency (TASS) yesterday evening, Thursday, January 18, the objective of the patrols is to monitor the situation along the disengagement line between the two sides.

Kulit said that the aviation units of the Russian Aerospace Forces organized air patrols along the disengagement line known as the “Bravo Line.”

The patrols came days after the Russian Defense Ministry announced the deployment of two new points in the occupied Syrian Golan to monitor the ceasefire between Syria and Israel.

On January 3, Admiral Vadim Kulit stated that his country had established two military points in southern Syria against the backdrop of increasing provocations in the “demilitarized zone.”

TASS reported at the time that the new points were stationed with units of the Russian military police to “monitor the ceasefire.”

After an absence of more than a year, Russia resumed its military patrols in southern Syria at the beginning of November 2023, as a Russian military patrol traveled south of Quneitra between Mualaqah and Ghadir al-Bustan, near the Safra company belonging to the 90th Brigade south of the governorate belonging to the regime’s army.
