| Iranian Revolutionary Guards opposite IS troops on Golan Heights as tensions mount |
| 2017-03-11 |
| [Independent] Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Iran of using the Syrian civil war to "gain a foothold to fight Israel" amid fears over Iranian troops stationed along the border with the occupied Golan Heights. Tehran is supporting Bashar al-Assad with deployments of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), Basij militia and funding to allied militias including Hezbollah. The IRGC are now reported to be present in Syrian-government controlled territory along the 1967 ceasefire line in the Golan Heights, which has seen months of Israeli air strikes met with rockets fired towards the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). |

| #6 I actually subscribed to The Guardian just so I could be a pain in the ass to their lockstep leftardisms. They had a few good articles, so I said what the hell, maybe they are trying. Got the "g" bag and everything, even though I asked TWICE that they not spend their money on such BS swaggery. They said they would not send it, TWICE, but I got it anyway. Look for 'Soulless' comments, if they don't get disappeared. Barbara S. and I seem to have similar views. Sorry Barb, no offense intended. |

| #4 Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that the air strikes were in response to the rockets and other provocations. This makes it sound like the Israelis are starting the fights. This is the Independent, written for readers who think the Guardian is too right-wing. |

| #3 Lucky we didn't do "land for peace" with Syria a decade ago. |

| #1 a good chance to prevent any IRGC presence on Golan. Unmarked artillery and mortars |
