IDF units on Mount Hermon which borders Syria, are preparing to encounter Iranian- backed terrorist attacks, a senior military source told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.
According to the source, units operating under the command of the Mount Hermon Territorial Brigade have been training to respond to a “combined terrorist attack” that could involve border bombs, rockets, an attempted kidnapping of soldiers and possible anti-tank missile fire.
“There is someone who gets up every morning and asks, how can I carry out an attack on Israel? Most of the time, they run into great difficulties,” the source said.
The terrorists, he stressed, are being orchestrated by the Iranian- led radical axis, which currently controls just one small area bordering Israel, in and around the Syrian Druse village of Khadr.
A variety of Sunni rebels have control of all other areas bordering Israel. On a daily basis, rebel battalions based in nearby abandoned villages such as Bijan, exchange fire with pro-Assad military forces based in Khadr, as the Hermon Brigade watches from the mountain peaks above.
