Even as they’re consumed with the jihad against Assad and the Shi’ites in Syria, the Sunni Islamic jihadists there are thinking ahead to the next battle — the one against the Jews, whom the Qur’an designates as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82). “Security experts told The Tower that the Islamists will eventually attack Israel – it is a question of if rather than when.” That is indeed so.
“Islamist Rebel Flags Spotted Along Syria-Israel Border,” The Tower, May 9, 2014 (thanks to Maxwell):
Israeli soldiers patrolling the Golan Heights can now see Islamist flags flying on the Syrian side of the border, The Tower has learned. Islamist groups have taken up positions to the south of Quneitra, the largest Syrian town close to Israel, particularly in the area of Kudneh.
“A-Raya flags with the Islamic credo were spotted on the border several times. It’s not clear whether these flags belong to the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front or the even-more-radical Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS),” said The Israel Project’s Defense Analyst Stephane Cohen.
Security experts told The Tower that the Islamists will eventually attack Israel – it is a question of if rather than when. There is a difference of opinion, however, as to why they have not launched serious attacks until now. Some say it is simply that the opportunity has not yet arisen. Others maintain these groups, although radical, have a strategic consideration in not striking Israel for the time being.
Right now, they argue, the Islamists are focusing on one thing only – toppling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, even if it means teaming up with non-radicals.
The Syrian Revolutionaries Front, part of the FSA, joined up with the Nusra Front in the past few weeks to capture strategic hilltops from the regime in southwestern Quneitra province overlooking the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, according to two representatives of the Western-backed rebels who are with the fighters.
Israel is not the only target for these extremists, many of whom hail from other parts of the Middle East, Europe and North America – as many as 11,000. Western countries fear these so-called citizen jihadists will return home even more radicalized and ready to carry out acts of terror in the West.

Shouldn’t the statement be “when rather than if”?
nothosaur says
Exactly. “Question of when rather than if.” That is more appropriate in this context.
Reality Check says
Muhammad must have been really mad at the Jews to start preaching such an intense hatred against them. What happened? Did they laugh him out of the place he hoped to take among them?
Jack Diamond says
Muhammad’s claim was to be the Seal of the Prophets and the only legitimate intercessor between Allah and men. His Islam abrogates, steals, appropriates the Jewish (and Christian) religions. Yes, Muhammad was ridiculed by the Jews, rightfully so, and his claims challenged but the hatred and enmity are foundational and have to be to justify Islam’s claim.
Sam Solomon (a professor of Shari’a before leaving Islam) and Elias Al-Maqdisi in “Al-Yahud, Eternal Islamic Enmity and the Jews” say: “according to the Qur’an, Judaism as a religion is an innovation, so is Christianity, and both are in violation of that which Allah revealed to the Children of Israel concerning ‘monotheism’. Second, the Jews and Christians were and are in reality ‘Muslims’ since all the Jewish patriarchs and prophets including Jesus were Muslims who preached Islam from the outset, their main purpose being foretelling of the coming of Muhammad as the Seal of the Prophets…
“according to Islam everything and anything important or relevant was incorporated from previous scriptures into the Qur’an. As all these previous books have been tampered with by its followers, Allah has abrogated them upon arrival of the Qur’an…in returning non-Muslims to the fold (everyone is born a Muslim) they have been saved from rebelling against Allah…the Jews are the biggest blockage, the worst enemies of Muhammad, the worst offenders against Allah…
“once Muhammad announced his mission in Mecca to ‘bring back Monotheism’ the die was cast that his retroactive claim to the Islamic origin of monotheism, the doctrine of Fitrah (we are all born Muslims), would be in direct and mortal conflict with the previous revelations by the Jewish Patriarchs and Christian Apostles, including Jesus. This is the inescapable motive for enmity toward those to whom the true original revelations had been given…(Islam) was always meant to be a claim that Islamic monotheism predated Judeo Christian monotheism and that there was never such a thing as Judaism or Christianity but only people called Jews and Christians and even they were all Muslims. It became essential, having claimed the roots of Judeo Christian monotheism itself, to redirect the earlier revelations in order to supplant this claim. He accomplished this by retroactively declaring all mankind to have also been Muslim by nature from the time of Adam. He disenfranchised the Jews and Christians of previous centuries…as ‘only the custodians’ of the earlier revelations and unfaithful custodians at that…by removing references to Muhammad as the Seal of the Prophets bringing down Allah’s permanent wrath upon themselves. “

That’s why it was a huge miscalculation of the part of Israel and the US, who have decided to side with Al-Qaeda in their fight against Assad because, essentially, Assad = Iran.
The choice was: Al-Qaeda / Iran, and we picked Al-Qaeda because Iran is seen as a strategic threat to Israel and Saudi Arabia. BIG mistake–we did the same mistake when we supported the mujahedin against the Soviets.
RonaldB says
“The choice was: Al-Qaeda / Iran, and we picked Al-Qaeda because Iran is seen as a strategic threat to Israel and Saudi Arabia. BIG mistake”
Maybe. It was a big mistake for the US to get involved period.
Israel had its own calculations. Israel and Saudi Arabia see Iran as by far the biggest threat in the region. Also, Israel has to go on the assumption there will be an open conflict with Iran at some point in the future.
The Syria of Assad had a coherent army which was capable of attacking Israel, though not successfully. In case of a conflict with Iran, Israel would have to divert military assets to safeguard or neutralize the Syrian army.
However, if jihadists overthrew the government of Assad, however fervid the jihadist sentiment of the victors, they would not compose a cohesive army. They might try to infiltrate Israel, but the problem would simply be protecting the border, a task that could be carried out by Israel’s home guard. Israel’s military assets would be free to fight Iran.
Saudi Arabia seems to have expected the US to strike Assad’s forces on the pretext of retaliating for the use of chemical weapons, and cause the Syrian government to topple immediately, before it became a jihadist cause. Saudi Arabia is disgusted with the US for dithering around without coming down on one side or another, and allowing the country to become an incubator for jihadists….because jihadists see the toppling of the Saudi government as being almost as important as the destruction of Israel.
The blundering interventions of the US are unlikely to do anyone any good, except maybe al-qaeda. If Israel sees the toppling of the Syrian government as crucial, then Israel is close enough to do the job itself, directly or indirectly. The US has no business whatsoever in participating in an area of which it has only the dimmest understanding.

Even if the jihadists in Syria join their forces with thoses of Hezbollah and Hamas along with the PIJ they are all fated to loses and loses hard. For eventhrough by may not know it they are striving against the Will of God. For the God of the Bible has declared in in His Word, the Bible that all ofthis land that is now the State of Israel belongs tothe Jewish people. As seen in Geneis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4.
Thus since they are working against God’s Will that makes them wicked. So,as just stated, if all the members of all these Islamic terror groups join force to destory Israel they will not only lose but also be punished for it. For the Bible teaches in Proverbs 11:21. “Though hand join in hand the wicked shall not go unpunished.” [KJV] As for forming an alliance against Israel, the Bible teaches in Psalm 83:3-5. “They have taken crafty counsel against they people, and consulted against they hidden ones. They have siad, Come and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent; they are confederate against thee. ” Further in verses 15-18 of this same chapter explains just how this works out in the end. For these verses read “So persecte them with thy storm. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek they name, O Lord. Let them be troubled forever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish. That men may know that thou, whose name is JE-HO-VAH, art the most high over all the earth.” [KJV] The reader should well understand this is the Jehovah of the Bible Who is the One True God Who stands with Israel and not the false god ,Allah the god of Islam. For inspite of what the apologists for Islam claim the God of the Bible and the god of Islam are not the same. This I had exposed in detail in some of my other postings. In short, the jihadists are fated to lose in the Islamic quest to destroy the State of Israel.
Walter Sieruk says
The jihadists in Syria along the members of Hezbollah, Hamas and the PIJ to have one way that they can convince the God of the Bible to change His Mind in His upholding Israel and then turn His back on Israel and thus have that nation be no more. That way is for them to chan ge the laws of astrophysics, including that of the sun, the moon and the stars. For God has declared in the Bible in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, which gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me saiththe Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.”

Let’s not forget that Muhammad died from a morsel of poisoned lamb offered to him by…a Jewish woman!

As recompense for wiping out her family. It took him 3 years to die, apparently, but he did die in extreme pain. Jewish life in Arabia was soon extinguished forever.
Jax Tolmen says
It’s always somewhat exciting when these moronic barbarians attack Israel – the ensuing slaughter is always entertaining. It is even more entertaining that they have to resort to hiding amongst civilians to stop the Israelis from utterly destroying them. It is even funnier when the ‘palestinians’ declare ‘victory’ despite losing 10 – 50 times as many fighters as Israel.
If Israel was beholden to the same ethics as it’s enemies, the dregs of Palestine would not exist and there would be no Jihad around the Jewish state. Unfortunately, Israel seems to be partially beholden to the currently militarily impotent Leftist West.

We are slowly but surely witnessing the war against Amalek. Al Quaida inspired Islamic Radicalism is surely Amalek. Very few understand or know, but those who do…. watch what happens. Events will be……..striking.

Oh I really hope the jihadis try something with IDF and a lot of “”Swedish” freedom fighters” get dealt with quick and efficently. It will save us a LOT in wellfare money!

If you want to help strengthen Israel, you might get some ideas on how to do it (and, along the way, gain some inspiration as to what might be possible in Sweden, for *Swedes*, if you start thinking laterally) by reading the stories you’ll find at the following links.

The thing is, that – like all* of us non-Muslim countries these days – Israel has a terrible Mohammedan Fifth Column problem.
But some of them are beginning to stand up to it.

More Farmers Taking Security into Their Own Hands
Geordie says
““Beyond the economic damage, we realize that the Arabs are using these thefts to do damage to the development of Jewish agriculture in Judea and Samaria,.. …”
I wonder if the IDF is making the same error as other nations. Depending on UAV’s for security rather than boots on the ground. A single stolen sheep is not worth launching a missile or scrambling a jet. 7.62 solution is not an option if there are no troops nearby. UAVs should supplement not replace troops/police.
inMAGICn says
Jihadis in Quneitra are not going to attack anybody without being seen. Quneitra and all of the Golan is overlooked by one Israeli base, observation post, fortified kibbutz, or monitoring station or another. Having been stung in the Golan in the Yom Kippur War, the Israelis keep a sharp eye out and have fortified the place to an amazing degree.
There is also a large UN presence, but, we know what they’re good for.
Geordie says
Good news! Now we will see how these evil scum should be dealt with. Let’s hope the video is posted to YouTube. Then again. It’s just not the same without the smell of cordite.
If I had not served in the British Army, the only other nation I would have fought for is Israel. Nice place, friendly people, just cause.

Have you ever thought about that If Muhammad was a false profit? What if the violence you do and/or preach is coming from Satan? Be careful cause one day you might wake up in hell and burn there for eternity.
Dr. Gonzalo de Porras says
Si finalmente ISIS o el FLS se les ocurriese atacar desde los Altos del Golán, posicones o territorios israeliés, tengo la convicción de que el Glorios Ejercito de Israel, rechazaria con exito el ataque y ocuparía la parte de los Altos del Golán situados en suelo sirio. El problema vendría a continuación pues no se sabe la posición que tomarían alginos paises musulmanes de la zona, aunque espero que tanto la ONU, como USA o la UE tendrían que reconocer que los “rebeldes sirios” son un peligro no solo para la misma Siria sino para todod el oriente medio.
