Not watching Fox. Can you tell me why removing land mines is allegedly not a good thing?

Removing mines on your side of the border is the way to open the gates to invade the other guy. If you are intending to stay put, you would leave the mines for protection. By taking them out, you lower your defenses a bit to enable you to invade the other guy at a moments notice.

This is a clear sign that Syria intends to invade Israel, or is threatining to do so.

If the other side is removing their own mines, it is often a prelude to a massive assault. You really don't want your own anti tank defenses killing your own tanks.

Big question is, if this is true, what will Israel do?

I haven't watched Fox since Friday's Special Report. But in response to your question as John123 posted out here earlier.

"More importantly, Israel can now cross the border into Syria."

That's probably why it's not a widely reported event. It would be suicide on Syria's part. 

Of course Syria may just be clearing land for gardening. :-)
