Ibrahim al-Amin, editor-in-chief of the Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, said that Russia instructed its military off the coast of Syria "to prepare for a serious confrontation."
He noted that Iran, in parallel, was on high alert of its navy, air force and its rocket systems, and that Syrian army forces not involved in the war with the rebels were at the ready. At the same time Hezbollah, according to Al-Amin, established a war room monitoring all its rocket systems, and called for all Hezbollah members to man their stations. (Roi Kais)
