IDF on Mount Hermon preparing for Iran-backed terrorism

IDF units on Mount Hermon, which borders Syria, are preparing to encounter Iranian-backed terror 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 terror 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. He stressed that the terrorists 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 Al-Khader.

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 Al-Bijan, exchange fire with pro-Assad military forces based in Al-Khader, as the Hermon Brigade watches from the mountain peaks above.

He won’t like the outcome. Israel will live forever, so it’s been written, so it’s been said, and so it will be.

It'd be time for Zer0 to draw another red line....but WTF - he's only got another 13 months or so to enjoy the gilded cage.

Priorities and all that sh*t......

I will stand with Christians and Jews should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

In fact I’ve been looking for a cross to wear. Never have worn one in my life but I want to be clear.
