(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser - The Iranians are trying to turn Syria into a base from which they can threaten Israel in a much easier way than they can from far away in Iran. They are trying to introduce elements to make it possible to threaten Israel in three ways: The first is by improving the capabilities of Hizbullah. The main focus in this respect is to try to enable Hizbullah to have weapons that are more precisely guided. Israel is trying to prevent that from happening. Second, they were trying to build, until recently, a base for carrying out terror attacks against Israel from the areas adjacent to the border in the Golan Heights. Third, the Iranians are trying to build a base inside Syria itself from which they can attack Israel using their various military capabilities, and use Syria as a place for the production of weapons that they cannot produce in Iran. All of these are direct threats for Israel. From an interview with i24news on April 23, 2018. The writer was head of the Research Division of IDF Military Intelligence.2018-04-25 00:00:00Full Article
