Wolfgang Jilke of the UN’s forces (UNDOF) in the Golan Heights asserts Syrian buildup doesn’t exceed the agreed-to limits. Jilke confirms that Syria repairs border fortifications and increased the number of troops to 40% of the maximum allowed level.
Beyond the UNDOF-controlled area, Syria conducts large-scale military exercises, purchased large quantities of advanced anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles, and manufactures SCUD’s that target every town in Israel.
Days before the 1967 war, Egypt – just like Syria now – observed the cease-fire limits on the military presence in border areas. Syria can unleash thousands of missiles at Israel any moment.
