PanARMENIAN.Net – The Israeli cabinet authorized on Wednesday, August 28 a partial call-up of army reservists amid growing expectations of a foreign military strike on neighbouring Syria, army radio reported, according to AFP.
The unspecified number of troops are attached to units stationed in the north of the country, which borders both Lebanon and the Golan Heights, seized from Syria in the 1967 Six-Day War, the report said.
Meanwhile Russia will send two ships to the east Mediterranean to strengthen its naval presence because of the “well-known situation” there, Reuters said citing Interfax news agency, referring to the Syria crisis.
The agency quoted a source in the armed forces’ general staff as saying an anti-submarine vessel and a missile cruiser would be sent in the coming days because the situation “required us to make some adjustments” in the naval force. The Defense Ministry was not immediately available for comment.
