Ten anti-personnel mines were thrown by Syrians into Israel on Saturday afternoon. The mines were identified by a routine military patrol and sappers were alerted to the scene to neutralize the explosives.
While the army is still investigating who is behind the incident, one of the possibilities it is likely to consider is involvement on the part of the Resistance Committees for the Liberation of the Golan Heights. A Syrian source told Ynet that the resistance group was founded with the aim of launching "a guerrilla war" in the Golan, with Syrian gunmen planning to infiltrate Israel to perpetrate attacks. Syria drew its conclusions from last summer’s war in Lebanon, and it was likely the group would operate parallel to the Hezbollah terror organization.
The army insists the Syrian government is responsible for its border, even if the incident was a local initiative. This would mean that two terrorist organizations directly supported by the Syrian government are now operating against Israel. One, Hezbollah, is increasingly becoming an Iranian puppet group, which makes it all the more likely that the Resistance Committees for the Liberation of the Golan Heights will become the new Syrian toy. Although clearly in baby shoes for now, this group has the potential to grow in power. At (read: War) increasingly likely.
