Yesterday, Wednesday, September 20, an Israeli force covered with heavy weapons entered Syrian territory in an unprecedented step since 1967.
According to what Al-Rasd's Facebook page reported, citing private sources in the Syrian Golan, the IDF deliberately opened the gate separating Majdal Shams from Syrian lands in the Golan Heights.
The sources explained that the Israeli force entered a depth of tens of meters, reinforced with tanks and bulldozers.
The sources emphasized that this step, and from this gate in particular, had not been entered since the 1967 war, during the stay in Syrian territory, bulldozers built a road from the gate, and remained dozens of meters deep with the tanks.
The video showed the movement of Israeli military vehicles, including tanks and armored vehicles, inside Syrian territory without any reaction from the Syrian army.
Israel states that it will not allow Iran to settle in its northern borders and establish Hezbollah 2 in Syria.
In recent years, Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes and missiles in Syria, which it says are directed against the Iranian presence.
The American magazine Newsweek revealed an intelligence document that said Iran had prepared an armed unit consisting of thousands of fighters from several nationalities, capable of carrying out attacks against American forces in Syria and Israel.
An official in an intelligence agency affiliated with a US-allied country said that the division, which Iran called "Imam Hussein", is linked to the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and has strong capabilities.
The official added that Imam Hussein's armed division carried out attacks with precision guided weapons, attack and spy drones, and small arms against the American military garrison in southeastern Syria in the al-Tanf region, in October 2021.
The official confirmed that the division launched attacks against Israel in January 2019, using surface-to-surface missiles, a rocket attack in June 2019 and an attempted drone strike in August 2019, which the Israeli military reportedly intercepted.
According to the document, additional attacks are planned against the two allies, while an intelligence source noted that the division is preparing and mobilizing capabilities so that they can pose a threat to the American forces in Syria and Israel.
