Troops Leave Israeli Border to Defense Damascus - Middle East - News - Israel National News


Syrian President Bashar Assad has pulled troops from the Israeli border to defend Damascus against rebels, the Israeli army intelligence chief said Tuesday. *

"The Syrian military is acting very brutally, which shows the regime is desperate. Its control of Damascus is getting weaker," Major-General Aviv Kochavi told a parliamentary committee, according to a Knesset spokesman whose remarks were reported by Reuters.

"Assad has moved many of his forces that were in the Golan Heights to the conflict areas," Kochavi said. "He's not afraid of Israel at this point, but primarily wants to bolster his forces around Damascus."

Al-Assad IS getting desperate. There's no telling what he'll do next.

Desperate people do desperate things. Does he have control over the people moving his WMD? Not trying to set a conspiracy theory, but this should be watched perhaps.

I hope Israel watches Assad more closely. He may be pulling Syrian troops from the Golan Heights because he might be considering a chemical attack against the Golan Heights.

That thought crossed my mind as well.

This action should be watched. The Russians in December 2011 sent Assad 3,000,000 gas masks. Russia is purely evil. Assad's military, their familes and allies I wonder if he has 3,000,000 followers. I heard somewhere Israel has enough gas masks only for 50% of its population. I feel like Assad is plotting something horrific.

Whatever Assad is plotting will explode on his own face...no worries....
Dictators NEVER learn from past history of other dictators before them.....
May The Lord of Israel defend Israel

Assad isn't going to waste valuable weapons attacking Israel when they could be used against his own hostile populace, not to mention that starting a war with Israel would spell certain doom for him. In any case, events in Syria are certainly getting crazy.
