Israel's military chief has issued a stern warning to Syrian leader Bashar Assad after an Israeli military jeep came under fire from Syrian forces early Tuesday. Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz said on Tuesday that Israel will not allow the Golan Heights "to become a comfortable sphere for Assad to operate from." He said that if the situation deteriorates further, Assad "will have to
bear the consequences."

n this picture taken on Thursday May 23, 2013, Israeli soldiers patrol their side near the southern Lebanese-Israeli border of Hamames village, Lebanon. In the eerily quiet south, the Hezbollah battle in the Syrian town of Qusair seems far away as most residents of towns and villages nervously watch Israeli army patrols drive along the border, their bases tucked away just behind a metal fence. Hezbollah's very public _ and bloody _ foray into Syria's war emboldened the group's critics in the Arab world and its Western-backed political opponents in Lebanon, futher fragmenting the national unity that was last forged by Hezbollah when it fought Israel to a standstill in 2006.
