Brig. Gen. Tamir Hyman, commander of the IDF 36th Division: ”The events unfolding beyond the border increase the likelihood of terror attacks. That, in turn, necessitates preparations as far as infrastructure, training and deployment.  Terror organizations may seek to exploit a situation of instability and lack of governability that may develop on the Syrian side of the border. Now its quiet, but we’re preparing for the worst-case scenario.”
