Is Assad really this confident in global anti-Israel diplomacy and Russian anti-aircraft weapons? Really?

In related news, the Lebanese An-Nahar newspaper reported Sunday that there were rumors in Syria of partial recruitment of reserves. While the report’s veracity could not be confirmed, the paper emphasized that it was unclear whether the recruitment was in any way related to the alleged IAF flyover.

In other Syrian fly-over news, it’s quite certain that if this is even close to true* then this is almost certainly false. Turkey has as much to lose from an Iranian bomb as any country other than Israel and America.
