Other countries are watching.
Russia is the protector of Syria(the West has been unable to depose Assad in Syria bc of President Putin's support). If Israel continues to attack Syria and Russia does nothing, it'll undermine the confidence of other countries that look up to Russia for protection against Western imperialism.
For illustration..Nigeria wants to move away from the Western sphere of influence but she knows she'll be attacked by the West...when Nigeria sees what the West does in Syria, Nigeria wouldn't want to be another Syria.
Provide weapons for Syrians and upgrade its air defense systems. Fine tune it's capability and capacity for retaliatory strikes and weak countries (like Nigeria) that are unable to protect themselves will do away with fear.

At least 2 or 3 retaliatory strikes against Israel to send the right message.
It has happened before. It should happen again.

Eritrea is proving to be one of the best Military forces in Africa and can be made better by their allegiance to Russia.
Unfortunately my country's military is full of corrupt individuals, who rather watch soldiers die than give them proper arms.
