Video footage surfaced last week showing the
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) treating a wounded anti-Assad Syrian rebel,
following a UN report at the end of last year which found that the IDF
and the Syrian rebels (including ISIS) were in regular contact. The Times of Israel reported on this latest video in an article titled,IDF posts footage of medics saving Syrian rebel in Golan:
“The IDF on Saturday
released rare footage of its medics performing a life-saving procedure
on one of the most severely wounded Syrian combatants medical personnel
have encountered in the Golan Heights… The man, a Syrian rebel who

war in 2011, the IDF has treated an estimated 1,600 non-combatants and
anti-Assad rebels… Although Israel’s treatment of militants from Syria —
many of whom are believed to belong to Islamist organizations such as

view.”
The Times of Israel tries to spin Israel’s
assistance to the Syrian rebels as purely “from a humanitarian point of

Ministry in Israel, wrote an article in 1982 which was published in a
journal of the World Zionist Organisation titled: “A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties”. In it, Yinon outlines that the “dissolution of Syria and Iraq” are “Israel’s primary” objectives in the region:
