Sympathetic to the nation of Israel he worked his way up inside the Syrian government to become the Chief Advisor to the Minister of Defense. A lot of intel was sent to Israel, but one move I like most. On a tour of Syrian soldiers in the field he noted that everyone was standing in the hot desert sun. So he ordered clumps of trees to be planted around the area of the Golan Heights to shade the troops.
When Israel was attacked, Israeli pilots simply bombed every group of trees.
