ANALYSIS: Hurricane Is Approaching Israel, Experts Say
"...a huge storm is brewing on Israel’s horizon.
With all eyes on the escalating conflict between the Trump administration and Iran over the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the Obama administration-brokered nuclear deal with Iran, a huge storm is brewing on Israel’s horizon, according to Middle East experts.

Western Journalism has been reporting on this “approaching hurricane,” as Israeli military expert Alex Fishman calls the rapidly increasing Iranian non-nuclear threat to Israel, from the moment Iran started to carve out a land corridor which will connect Tehran to the Syrian Golan Heights on the other side of Israel’s northeastern border.

Fishman thinks that the atmosphere President Donald Trump created against Iran’s dealing with the JCPOA is only adding “fuel to the fire,” and that if there will be no change in the game currently played by Iran and the international community, there  will always  be a major conflict between Israel and Iran.

The commentator revealed that Iran is planning to build an air base for the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps near Damascus, something that is against the spirit of the nuclear agreement.

He added and reported that the Assad regime in Syria is conducting talks with Iran regarding an autonomic Iranian military pier in the Tartus port and the creation of an Iranian division on Syrian soil.

The Tartus port at the Mediterranean has been leased from Syria by the Russian military, and creating a separate pier for the Iranians would require President Vladimir Putin’s approval.

Since the government in Jerusalem no longer believes diplomatic pressure on the Islamic Republic will change Iran’s behavior, tougher measures are needed to ensure the IRGC will not cross Israel’s red lines in Syria and Lebanon.

For this reason, Israel is frantically trying to persuade the Russians and the U.S. to take measures that will thwart Iran’s plan to turn Syria into another client state from which Israel will be attacked in the near future which will be very bad.

Israel make it clear to the Russians and the Trump administration that the current developments involving Iran in Syria are unacceptable to the Jewish state. The pattern in Israel’s recent military actions in Syria indicate the Israeli Defense Forces will act alone to stop Iran from taking over Syria and to embolden its proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The Israeli military has already carried out hundreds of actions in Syria and this week, IDF Chief of Staff Gaby Eisenkot revealed. those strikes were meant to prevent Hezbollah from obtaining precision-guided Iranian weapons and ammunition.

“We consider accurate munitions to be a very severe strategic threat to the State of Israel. We’ve been dealing with the aspiration to reach this capability for years now and have worked to prevent it, so far successfully. At present, there are no precision-guided munitions threatening Israel’s strategic locations,” the IDF chief of staff told YNet.

“The IDF is working around the clock to allow Israel’s citizens to live in security. Our forces operate overtly and covertly every night to complete their missions,” Eisenkot said, while adding that the public and media is only aware of a minuscule number of these operations.

Eisenkot’s admission of Israel’s direct involvement in Syria is confirmed by a video posted by Syrian opponents of the Assad regime, which indicated Israel is directly assisting moderate rebel groups who are fighting the Iranian-backed pro-Assad coalition.

The images show fighters from the Free Syrian Army’s Ahrar Nuwi Brigades using Israeli rockets against Khalid bin al-Walid Army, the local ISIS branch on the Syrian Golan Heights.
