The Golan has been quiet since 1973.
Here s What You Need to Remember: With Iranian and Hezbollah troops now in Syria, the IDF was already reckoning on the possibility of the Golan Heights becoming yet another war zone on Israel’s frontier. That fact that the Syrian army might join in the digging probably won’t be much of a shock.
First, it was Hamas, and then Hezbollah.
Now, Syria is threatening to undermine Israel with tunnels.
In fact, a Syrian general claims that the Syrian Civil War has turned Syrian soldiers into “experts” at digging holes in the ground. I can tell you that as experts on tunnel warfare, we have made large strides during this crisis, throughout the years of the war,” Brigadier-General Lu ayy Shehadeh told Hezbollah TV network Al-Manar.
