Unusual activity has been reported on the Syrian side of Israel’s northern frontier along the Golan Heights, including helicopter activity and the movement of tanks and troops. Syria massing troops along its southern border is nothing out of the ordinary, particularly since Israel launched a major airstrike on its territory Sept. 6. But the Israelis appear to be a lot more concerned than usual about Syrian intentions as of late.
When Israel scrambled its warplanes Sept. 27 for the third time in the past two weeks, Stratfor saw a pressing need to investigate why the Israelis are so spooked about a Syrian reprisal for the Sept. 6 Israeli airstrike, and why Israel has gone out of its way to reassure the Syrians that it is not looking for a fight.
