Center S (Центр С in Cyrillic script) was a secret, joint, Russian–Syrian signals intelligence 'spy' post near al-Harra in southwestern Syria close to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.[1]
Presumably existing since before 2006, it was over-run by Free Syrian Army rebels on 5 October 2014 during the Daraa offensive (October 2014).[1][2] It was recaptured by the Syrian Arab Army during the 2018 Southern Syria offensive.
