Syrian military documents exposed by Sky News Arabic uncover years of covert dialogue between Israel and Assad's regime, mediated through an enigmatic agent known as "Musa."
Secret Channel Between Sworn Enemies
A series of classified Syrian military documents, bearing official insignia, detail how an Israeli operative codenamed "Moses" delivered high-level messages directly to Syria's defense leadership and President Assad himself. This communication channel operated during periods of intense regional tension.
"The documents, while still pending full verification, contain military markings consistent with authentic Syrian defense correspondence," stated Sky News Arabic in their exclusive report.

The communications primarily focused on Israeli warnings about Iranian arms shipments through Syrian territory.
Messages reveal explicit details about specific military strikes, including:
- The targeted bombing of Al-Qutayfah weapons depot near Damascus
- Surveillance of Iranian weapons movement through Russian Hmeimim airbase
- Concerns about weapons smuggling disguised as earthquake aid
- Strikes on Syria's Division 4 headquarters following Iran's 2023 attack
Timeline of Secret Diplomacy
Intelligence exchanges date back to at least 2022, when Israel warned Damascus about Iranian weapons convoys along the Syria-Iraq border. One particularly direct message to Assad concluded with the warning: "The choice is yours."
