Iranian troops are now stationed directly on Israel’s northern border with Syria. Iran and Hezbollah have had a clear change in strategy, with Iran openly implementing an anti-Israel strategy on Israel’s borders. "Alongside Iran's direct guidance of Hezbollah's actions in the north and Hamas' in the south, Iran is trying to also to develop a third front on the Golan Heights via the thousands of Hezbollah fighters who are in southern Syria and over which Iran holds direct command," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the start of his weekly cabinet meeting Sunday.

UN Peacekeepers Flee Syria to Israel

UNDOF checkpoint

The United Nations has ordered its peacekeepers to abandon positions in Syria and flee to Israel in the face of terrorists. This decision comes after the Al-Nusra Front, a UN-designated terrorist group, in August seized the Quneitra crossing into Syria from Israel and kidnapped more than 40 Fijian UNDOF troops which they later released. The same rebel group also clashed with 75 Filipino members of the force, who fled to a nearby outpost. Rebel forces are still in control of the Quneitra crossing and most of the 510 square km (196 square miles) of the Syrian side of the 1974 ceasefire line, forcing both Syrian government forces and civilians from the area.
