Israeli official: we'll make Assad fall if he responds to attack

On the morning of Shavuos, two mortar shells fell on the Israeli – Syrian border in the Hermon area, as a result of the Civil War in Syria, probably a leakage.

With this in mind it was decided to close the Hermon space to travelers. An announcement was delivered to UN forces in the region.

At the same time, the newspaper Al - Hayat reported that Iran had persuaded Assad to open a front against Israel and allow Hezbollah to open a front against Israel on the Golan Heights. Iranian officials told the newspaper that Tehran persuaded Assad to "open the door to all interested Arab forces to fight Israel in the Golan Heights and turn it into a conflict front."

A senior Israeli official told the New York Times that Israel might continue to attack in Syria to prevent the transfer of advanced weapons to Hezbollah.

He warned Syrian President Bashar Assad, that if he would respond to such attacks, Israel may act to topple his regime. The Israeli official's identity was not given, but the newspaper reported that he initiated the conversation with the reporter.

In the afternoon, the Internet fell in Syria, according to a report by U.S. surveillance company. In addition, in Damascus, phone lines are not working. This is the sixth time since the outbreak of the civil war that such disconnection takes place.
