Reuters: Israel goes on high alert over Syria as Trump quits Iran deal
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel has instructed local authorities in the Israeli-held Golan Heights to “unlock and ready (bomb) shelters” after identifying what the military described on Tuesday as “irregular activity of Iranian forces in Syria”.
The announcement came minutes before U.S. President Donald Trump declared he was withdrawing from the 2015 international nuclear deal with Iran, a move that has stirred concern about a possible regional flare-up.

Israel is pushing Iran to commit forces before it is ready to use surrogates. Each successful attack is a loss of face. First class tactics.
