Israel ordered a small-scale mobilization of reservists on Wednesday and strengthened its missile defenses as precautions against possible Syrian attack should Western powers carry out threatened strikes on Syria.
But an Israeli official briefed on a meeting of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet said the Jewish state believed the probability of it be targeted by Syria, its northern neighbor and long-time foe, was low
Israel Radio said mobilization of several hundred troops in intelligence and air defense had been authorized.
Army Radio reported the military was using all of its missile defenses, which include the short-range Iron Dome, the mid-range Patriot and the long-range Arrow II.
Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel sought to stay out of the Syrian crisis but would respond forcefully to any attempt to attack it.....snip~

It appears Israel is telling all that they would prefer to stay out of the mix.....and that they do not want any involvement. Once again.....showing they will stay their hand, and play defense. I don't think Assad will fire on Israel. Hezbollah, that's a different story. Still.....the Israelis are proactive. Looking out for their citizens. Thoughts upon the matter?
