Goffman said, in an interview with the Russian agency “TASS” on Friday, “During the last weeks, we have carried out several operations against Syrian fortifications, which were established directly on the border line and partly on our lands.”
He went on to explain: “That is why we attacked him. We carried out operations, and the military that attacked these points blew them up and immediately returned to their positions and did not stay there after the raids.”
Goffman indicated that the operation was carried out in two phases, where one point was destroyed during the first and two others in the second, highlighting that the raids “were carried out without direct combat confrontations.”
The 210th division commander stated that “Israel does not currently see any threat from Syria as a state,” but fears reinforcing the concentration of Lebanese “Hezbollah” fighters on the northern side of the Golan Heights.
He said: “The biggest threat I see when I look at the Syrian borders is the establishment of a front line by Iran and Hezbollah in southern Syria in front of Israel. This is the most important threat. We do not see a threat in Syria and Syria because it represents a country that has to work to rebuild itself. “
Since the 1967 war, Israel has occupied about two-thirds of the Golan Heights, which the relevant international resolutions consider Syrian territory, and in 1981 the Israeli government adopted a law imposing its sovereignty over the region, which is rejected by all the countries of the world except the United States.
