The continued spillover of the fighting in Syria into Israel has caused the IDF to change the rules of engagement along the Syrian border.

According to a Channel 2 News report on Friday, the new orders instruct soldiers to respond if fire from Syria is dangerous and persistent.

The report noted that while Israel wants to avoid such confrontation with Syria as much as possible, the main concern is that Islamist elements are contained along the Syrian border.

At the beginning of the week, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz warned that Syria's civil war might soon become "an Israeli matter” if military spillover continues. Gantz made the comments during a visit to the northern border, and Channel 2 News noted that during his visit he could hear cries of "Allahu Akbar" coming from the Syrian side of the border.

There have been several instances over the past few days of the Syrian civil war spilling over into Israel.

Just who do the Syrians think they are? Gazinians with impunity to launch rockets all day and night?

“... the main concern is that Islamist elements are contained along the Syrian border.”

Heck, Israel is surrounded and outnumbered by them. But at least they have the enemy right where they want them! Nuke the subhuman troglodytes, Bibi!

Chairman Obama’s dream of a muslim brotherhood caliphate from Morocco to Iran cannot happen as long as Israel exists.
