Israel is bolstering its forces on the once-quiet frontier with Syria where it believes Lebanese Hezbollah militants are preparing for the day when they could fight Israel.
Syria’s civil war has brought an end to decades of calm on the Golan Heights, a strip of land which Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war. Battles between rebels fighting against President Bashar Assad’s forces in Syrian villages nearby are being watched intensely by Israel’s military. […]
Among the rebels fighting the Syrian army are jihadi and Qaeda-linked groups, which Israel says are also a future threat to the Jewish state.
“We know they are busy now but once it ends they will turn their guns on us,” said the military source.
“We have learnt our lessons from Sinai,” the source said, referring to the Egyptian peninsula where Islamist militants have launched attacks on Egyptian soldiers and across the border at Israel amid deepening turmoil in Egypt.
“We’re not waiting for an attack (from Syria). We’re building the border fence, we have sent up tanks, more regiments, field intelligence … and increased observations.”
