Russian MoD refuted information published by foreign media about deployment of 'a new Russian military base'

BUT WAIT...it was the Kurds that released the Information not foreign media...
Exclusive: Syrian Kurdish YPG aims to expand force to over 100,000 http://reut.rs/2ntagEL
Can't help but conclude: certainly nowhere near as 'dangerous' as exaggerated here.
Foremost: the Russian AD system in Syria is the Russian AD system in Syria - and not the battered remnants of whatever the Assadists like to call their AD system. And, Hezbollah is much too important for Israelis but to make them care about Russians.
BTW, the IASF air strike from Sunday actually targeted Almazza AB: nothing in Palmyra area. Almazza AB used to be outside the city, but that was 50 years ago: due to the explosive growth of Damascus, meanwhile it's de-facto in the downtown - and just 3-4km away from Bashar's palace.
