Russia asked Israel to refrain from airstrikes near its air base in Syria, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin's envoy to Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev. Last month, state media in Syria reported on an Israeli airstrike in the port city of Latakia, one of the bastions of control of Syrian President Bashar Assad, who is supported by Russia. The city is close to the Russian base. "Israel did attack from the air in the vicinity of the base," Lavrentiev said in an interview with the Russian news agency RIA. "Our army informed Israeli officials that such actions, which could endanger the lives of army personnel, are unacceptable."
