Times Of Israel: Killing of Syria agent could mark new phase in Israeli campaign against Iran
Military experts say alleged Israeli assassination of former Syrian Druze lawmaker could send a message against Iranian entrenchment in neighboring Syria
The death of a former Syrian Druze lawmaker, allegedly by Israeli sniper fire, could mark a new phase in Israel’s war against Iranian entrenchment in neighboring Syria.
Syria’s state-run news agency said that Midhat as-Saleh was fatally shot Saturday in Ain Eltinah, a village along the Israeli frontier in the Golan Heights where he ran a Syrian government office.
Israeli media said Saleh had been assisting the Iranian military against Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces declined to comment, but if the Syrian claim is true, it would mark the first time that Israeli snipers are known to have killed an Iran-linked target across the border.
Israel has said it will not tolerate a permanent Iranian military presence in Syria and has acknowledged carrying out scores of airstrikes on alleged Iranian arms shipments and military targets in Syria in recent years.

I love my apartheid state.
Israel can not sustain such actions indefinitely. Iran might ultimately be too much for Israel to handle, without nukes.
