An Israel Air Force airstrike on a Russian airbase in Syria on Oct. 3, aimed at preventing Iranian arms from reaching Hezbollah, suggests that Vladimir Putin's regime plays a key logistical role in helping Iran arm the Lebanese Shiite terrorist organization.

Syrian state TV reported that the Israelis targeted a warehouse on the base, timing the strike to coincide with the arrival of an Iranian 747 cargo plane operated by Qeshm Fars Company [QESHM].
