Israeli Likud Minister Yuval Steinitz will tell the United States, Russia and other world powers Israel will not tolerate Iranian forces near its border, the Jerusalem Times reported on Tuesday.
Steinitz made the remark as Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, flew to New York to address the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday.

“In all of our discussions, first and foremost with the United States, but also with Russia and the rest of the world powers, we must make sure that the Iranian forces will stay in Iran,” Steinitz told Israel’s Army Radio.

“Nobody wants to see Russian forces in the area of the Golan Heights, but we definitely don’t want to see Iranian forces near Israel,” he added.

Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria during the Six Day War in June, 1967. The territory was officially annexed in 1981.

Israel fired on Syrian forces in the Quneitra region over the weekend when errant mortar fire landed in the captured territory.

Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said on Monday Syria had crossed a “red line” in its battle with proxy forces attempting to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria.

“Israel does not intend to ignore these incidents. We see the Syrian government as responsible for what happens in Syrian territory,” Yaalon said.

Preparations for Ground Invasion of Syria
In August it was reported that Israel is preparing for a possible ground invasion of Syria.

The Israelis began large division-scale training in the occupied Golan Heights in mid-August under the pretext ISIS may invade and also citing the presence of Hezbollah fighters in Syria.

Israel and Hezbollah fought a war in 2006 in Lebanon, northern Israel and the Golan Heights. Some analysts consider the 34-day war as the first Iran-Israel proxy conflict.

“In the scenarios envisioned by the IDF, heavily-armed terrorist cells would infiltrate the Israeli side of the Golan and attack Jewish and Druze villages there, necessitating a strong Israeli response in Syria,” Israel Today reported on August 17.

The announcement of invasion preparations coincide with the possibility Israel may move its borders east “to protect the Druze and other non-hostile populations that are today threatened by the Islamists,” the website reported.

On Tuesday Israel Today reported the country “fears unintentional exchanges of fire between its own forces and the Russian military in Syria. Such a flare-up between Israeli and Iranian forces could give Tehran the excuse it needs to launch a long-range missile assault on the Jewish state.”

The Kuwaiti newspaper Alrai has cited “official sources” as saying Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Russia have launched a “joint operations room” to coordinate their campaign to defeat the Islamic State.

The Times of Israel reported on Saturday:

The newspaper quotes official sources as saying that each party will be responsible for particular areas of Syria, with Russia operating in Latakia, Hama and some parts of the Aleppo province, while Iran will be defending the capital Damascus and down to Quneitra on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights. The report also states that some 100 Iranian special forces trained in urban warfare have arrived in Damascus

Israel claims the Syrian Army has received “substantial support” from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and “most notably fellow Iranian client Hezbollah,” the paramilitary group formed after Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982.

The Kuwaiti report also said the Syrian military has given dozens of Soviet-era tanks tanks to Hezbollah.

The Times of Israel reiterated the possibility Israel may conduct ground operations in the Golan and Syria.

Hezbollah is waiting for you in syria

Well it seems they arent given any chance....

And nobody will give them a chance. That's not how the world works.

If they want a chance, they'll have to make it themselves.

If they want a chance, they'll have to make it themselves.

and when some do people label them

THAT is also not how the world works....It is more like the strong bully the weak - shamelessness at its best

Point is that when a large segment of society voices its dissatisfaction against government

What percentage of Syrian population showed their 'dissatisfaction'? Do you have any evidence to prove they were the majority? An armed opposition is not a proof of that. In a country of 23 million, even if 5 million are against regime, they can create a huge armed group. What percentage of Syrians want Assad to be toppled militarily? How does that give right to foreigners to arm, fund and send terrorists to Syria? Based on that logic, Iran has a right to send arms to all kinds of Pakistani militants if we don't like its gov.

Here's a recent poll conducted in Syria. It speaks a lot.

All kinds of interventions aside, who advised Syrian Leader Bashar Al-Assad to massacre civilians who demanded change in Syrian leadership?

You condemn Saudi Arabian leadership setup, yet you fail to see the same in Syria. First, Hafez Al-Assad ruled Syria for 30 years and then his son Bashar Al-Assad came to power and rules Syria with iron fist. Point is that when a large segment of society voices its dissatisfaction against government, it is the responsibility of the government to pay attention and address its concerns instead of ordering the army to attack it.

Bashar would really make his father proud. He is alive because Russians and Iranians (your nation) came to his aid to save his sorry @ss. I hope that a Republican President comes and smokes this piece of shit.

What you wish means little on the ground. Despite the huge propaganda that tells the story that protests were fully 'peaceful' in Syria in the beginning, on the fifth day that protests started in Syria, terrorists attacked a gov building and killed 5 policemen. When a 'peaceful' protest starts like this, it's not hard to guess how it goes on. Syria had always a problem with its Muslim brotherhood terrorists for decades, just like Egypt and Jordan. Assad did a mistake of releasing many terrorists from prisons in 2011 to appease some protesters, now those released prisoners are leaders and members of various terrorist groups in Syria, from ISIS to Nusra and Islamic front.

There is only one country which benefits from this situation and that is Israel. They can add more land and for how long have we been hearing of greater Israel? From river Euphrates to Nile. Even though that is not the actual Holy land but thats what they think it is according to their book. I still remember a statement that I heard. USA formed in the womb of Britain and Israel is forming in womb of USA. Lets face it they are achieving all their targets that our religion has already told us about and that is because we are divided. Israel will reach its glory once before everything comes to an end.

You will get an idea from images of country-wide mass protests that took place just before the starting phase of civil war.

An armed opposition is not a proof of that. In a country of 23 million, even if 5 million are against regime, they can create a huge armed group. What percentage of Syrians want Assad to be toppled militarily? How does that give right to foreigners to arm, fund and send terrorists to Syria? Based on that logic, Iran has a right to send arms to all kinds of Pakistani militants if we don't like its gov.

About half of the country?

From a Syrian:

The conflict in Syria began as a protest against the corruption that blighted every aspect of people’s lives and the lack of freedom; the people demanded radical reforms in how Syria was governed.

The lack of response to these demands was followed by severe and sustained military action against those who protested, and this violence drove some in the opposition to seek help from foreign governments in the region.

Here's a recent poll conducted in Syria. It speaks a lot.

Take this poll with a grain of salt when millions of Syrians are in refugee camps and thousands are fighting Syrian government.

I am simply pointing out Bashar Al-Assad's role in recent Syrian mess. His thirst for power have led to destruction of much of the nation and loss of many lives. Shame on him and those who support him.

As for that attack, a corrupt regime can easily stage it.

Say what you want but the Syrian war is the craziest I have seen in my lifetime. Just look at the number of nations involved, including all the members of the UNSC bar China!
This hasn't been seen since the days of the Soviet Afghan war.

I doubt it. Israel is very very small geographically, it'll take only one nuclear tip missile to erase Israel from the face of the earth. Even if Israels dome shield blocks 99 of 100 incoming missiles, just ONE is all it'll take.

Poor Syrian people lost every thing
I have 4 friends there, now no contact with any of them.

Well, when you try to play big power games without being up to par with bigger powers, then that's what happens. You still remember when Assad was openly supporting terrorists groups against British and U.S forces in Iraq just less than a decade ago?? Now that the tables have turned, why should you be surprised? He is simply getting what he deserves. In fact he deserves more than this. Play with fire, you will eventually get burn(except you are a big power, then you can still come out unscathed, not so for small weak powers).

What has a Hong Konger(or whatever they call them.lol) got to do with being hostile towards Israel?lol

Anyway i'm surprised you don't know Israel is the only Nuclear power in the middle east. Plus Israel is by far the most advanced military power in the region, any country that dares Israel will only end up like Syria: i.e losing its land to Israel forever. So before any country in the region dares Israel, it better be prepared for this. Israel might be a small country, but they outdo all middle eastern countries in almost every field one can think of, be it development/productivity/innovation wise, you name it.

So if anything its Israel who will be doing the 'nuking'.

Good that we're staying out of this one.

The opportunity to test weapons platforms isn't worth getting involved in something as insane as this.

The IS are basically suicide bombers by mentality, and they believe that these are the "end times". They are currently seizing territory not because of strategic reasons, but due to end times prophecies.

The second they get their hands on a nuke, they are going to launch it. At least Assad cares about his own survival, which limits his options if he gets his hands on a nuke. The IS doesn't.

Can you expand on how would they get the nukes? Just speculate.

AFAIK only countries which have nukes are US, UK, Russia, France, China, Pakistan, India, Israel and may be N. Korea

Have their been any statements from ISIS regarding this?
