Senior Iranian and Hezbollah figures killed in an airstrike in Syria this weekend were likely planning an 'imminent' attack on Israel, security sources have claimed.
Six Iranian army chiefs died alongside five Hezbollah militants after an Israeli helicopter fired rockets at a convoy in the Golan Heights region on Sunday.
Among those killed was Iranian General Mohammed Allahdadi, as well as commander Abu Ali Tabatabai, who is known to have worked with both Hezbollah and Iran.
Today Major General Eyal Ben Reuven, a former deputy head in the Israeli Defense Forces, accused the senior military figures of meeting to plot an attack on Israel.
He added that the commanders' decision to meet in Syria could mean that a 'high-level' and 'sophisticated' attack on Israel's northern border is 'imminent'.
Research group The Israel Project came to a similar conclusion, saying that the presence of Tabatabai 'probably indicates operations aimed at overrunning Israeli border towns.'
The warnings come just a week after Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah, warned that the group 'is ready and prepared for a confrontation in the Galilee and beyond the Galilee.'

Iran has also promised a 'crushing response' to the weekend strike, without laying out exactly what action will be taken.
General Mohammad Ali Jafari, head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, said: 'These martyrdoms proved the need to stick with jihad. The Zionists must await ruinous thunderbolts.
'The Revolutionary Guards will fight to the end of the Zionist regime... We will not rest easy until this epitome of vice is totally deleted from the region's geopolitics.'
Israeli troops have been marshalled along the country's northern border, while an Iron Dome missile launcher has been deployed...

They won’t get anywhere, against Israel.
Friends of mine are visiting Israel and have cut short their trip on the advice of the American embassy. Not sure why this isn’t getting more press.
Because 95% of the press is against Israel and for the Islamic murderers.
The Iranians will need to bring their own body bags,and lots of them.
They won’t get anywhere, against Israel.
Where will Obama stand? I wouldn’t feel confident that he will stand with Israel~ at all!
Iran knews if they are ever going to do it there will never be better time than with Obama as US President.
Iran is not stupid but then, they may be crazy.
If history is any indication, Iran will be making a big mistake. If by any chance, Iran should begin to succeed, I have no doubt that Israel would use nuclear weapons rather than be destroyed.
Israel being very serious. Roads being shut down, Iron Dome fired up.
May be truth to a secret deal Obama made to allow Iran in Syria. Israelis were apparently left out of the deal.
Time to bring in the B-52s via Diego Garcia and send Iran and Hezbollah back to the dark ages from which they come...................Oh wait!
That’s right, we have a traitor in the presidential office...don’t hold your breath folks!
doubtful the IslamoNazis will be that reckless
but if they try invading,
they can be given a nice quick one-way ticket to Alluh (in Hell)
To our shame and humiliation we must remember whose side our Dear Leader will stand us on.
Does Obama have anything under control?
Seems like nobody’s at the helm,foreign policy wise.
How do they plan on attacking? Tanks? Aircraft? That won’t work. Which leaves missiles. Israel already withstood that attack, twice. We know they won’t attack Jerusalem. Good luck with Galilee. They will never get across the border.
Unless they have tunnels from Lebanon that Israel doesn’t know about as well as coordination between Gaza and the west bank to attack, this is going to be an epic fail.
With luck, Israel will take its free shot after that.
Isaiah 17?
Unfortunately, you are 100% correct.
