They are preparing for Assad to leave Syria for good and they don't trust the Iranians to form peaceful relations anytime soon with the Hezbollah militia in the area! The same as it ever was! [:o)]

Tel Aviv ? Israel is planning to establish a Syrian army in the southern region of Syria on the border with the Golan Heights and Jordan to stop Iranian expansion, according to informed Israeli sources.

The idea for the ?South Syria Army?, which will be affiliated with Israel, is based on a close model of the South Lebanon Army that Israel founded and supported during the 1970?s. The South Lebanon Army was led by Saad Haddad and later on by Antoine Lahad.

The sources said that the idea is beginning to form in accordance with the US-Russian agreement to a ceasefire in southern Syria and prevent Iranian troops, ?Hezbollah? and other regime affiliated militias from controlling the region.

Israel considers Daraa, Suwayda and other areas on the border with the Golan Heights as political and security interests. Tel Aviv has allies there, including the Druze ?Fursan al-Joulan militia? and some sides that claim to be part of the Free Syrian Army.

    Just as they did in Lebanon. They formed a so called Christian Militia. The women and children in the Palestinian refugee camps were butchered and Lebanon had more territory seized illegally and made part of Israel. Any organisation that is formed will be a front for the theft of land from Syria.
