Its attached map, which has not yet been published, specifies how far away the IRGC and the Shi’ite militias, including Hezbollah, must stay from the Israeli border. In September, Haaretz reported that Israel wanted them kept 50 to 60 kilometers away, but the Russians initially agreed to only five kilometers.
The new map reflects a complicated compromise. In most areas it will apparently keep the Shi’ites 20 kilometers from the border, but in some places the distance will shrink to just five kilometers. Add in the fact that no timetable for removing foreign forces from Syria is even visible on the horizon, and Israel’s concerns are understandable.
