Israel Rushing Reinforcements To Golan Heights As Syria’s Fighting Escalates
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
DAMASCUS/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Israel rushed to send reinforcements to the Golan Heights as they border Syria, where Islamic rebels rapidly gain territory, threatening long-time Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad’s grip on power.
The Israel Defense Forces said Friday that due to the ongoing internal conflict in Syria, it is sending aerial and ground forces to the Golan Heights.
“Following a situation assessment in the Northern Command, it was decided to reinforce the 210th Division in the Golan Heights with additional armor and artillery troops,” the IDF stressed in a statement seen by Worthy News.
The IDF warned that it will “not tolerate threats” near the Israeli border.
It added that the IDF continues “its non-intervention policy in the Syrian conflict while reacting firmly to cases in which Israeli sovereignty or civilians are threatened.”
HUMANITARIAN AID
Israel will also “provide Syrian civilians with humanitarian aid as needed,” the IDF added on social media platform X.
The announcement came while earlier on Friday, local armed groups were seen clashing with Syrian forces in Daraa, as well as in Nawa, about 8 miles (13 kilometers) from Israel.
The rebels captured the cities of Hama and Aleppo within a week and freed prisoners from Hama’s central prison.
“Our forces entered Hama central prison and liberated hundreds of prisoners,” said Hassan Abdel Ghani, a leader from the rebel factions’ military operations unit.
Hundreds of people are believed to have been killed and injured in the recent fighting amid mounting fears among minority Christians that the country will face anarchy with Islamic forces roaming the streets.
Back in Israel, the political-security cabinet announced that it would meet on both Saturday evening and Sunday to deal “mainly with Syria” as fighting rapidly escalates.
