In wake of border clashes, Assad, Netanyahu swap barbs | The Times of Israel
"Syrian President Bashar Assad has made a “serious decision” to open a front with Israel along the Golan Heights, he said in an interview published Monday. Shortly thereafter, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned in a public statement that “any who threaten to harm, or harm, Israel will be harmed.”

In an interview with Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar, Assad said his country’s military action against Israel would be substantial, sustained and effective, not a “random firing of mortars” across the border."

" DEBKAfile: The Syrian ruler was confirming that serious joint preparations were afoot by Syria, Iran and Hizballah to attack Israel from the Golan."
