AFTER REPORTED RUSSIA DEAL, ISRAEL STILL FACES MAJOR CHALLENGES IN SYRIA

While Iranian-backed forces will be banned from operating near the border, Tehran will still have a free hand to build-up military infrastructure outside the "buffer zone."

After years of lobbying to restrict Iran's military build-up in Syria, Israel appears to have persuaded Russia, the major player in the arena, to abide by one of its key demands. To this end, Moscow reportedly has agreed to prevent Iranian-backed forces, including Hezbollah, from operating in close proximity to the Golan Heights border, a condition that will, apparently, apply to an anticipated offensive by Syrian troops to take back rebel-held territory in the area.

China has branded as "irresponsible" US comments that it is intimidating its neighbours with its military deployment in the South China Sea.

A top Chinese general said China had the right to deploy troops and weapons "on its own territory".

Earlier US Defence Secretary James Mattis said Beijing's actions called into question its broader goals.
