5 Super Israeli Weapons of War That ISIS Should Seriously Fear
Back in 2014, as Islamic radicals were still on a tear taking large swathes of Iraq and Syria, Israeli strategists worried that Israel could become the next target of groups like Islamic State (IS) and the al-Nusra Front.
Such a battle seems unlikely. Israel must prepare for conflict with Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah, while IS is busy trying to hold on to its conquered territories—and battling the Iraqi and Syrian governments, as well as the Kurds and any other groups they have antagonized.
Yet the ignominious withdrawal of the forty-year-old plus UN peacekeeping mission on the Golan Heights, after rebels fought and kidnapped Fijian and Filipino peacekeepers back in 2014, means there is no longer a buffer zone between the Jewish state and jihadi groups who are ideologically compelled to destroy it.
