Israel has increased the number of times it sends
fighter jets to the Syrian border, 'in preparation' for a possible
confrontation.
As the Israeli military has been put on high alert along the
northern border, a senior war ministry official revealed that
the air force has slightly increased the number of times it dispatches
jets to the northern border, with planes being sent almost every
day.
"It's not a significant increase, but whenever there is
a tense period, there is an increase," the official told
The Jerusalem Post.
Intelligence officials, however, attributed Syrian military movements
near the border more to nervousness than the likelihood of conflict.

Officials said Thursday that Israeli forces would be kept on
high alert along the border due to an increase in cross-border
tension.
The London-based daily Al-Quds al-Arabi had earlier reported
that Syria had massed its troops and tanks along the Lebanese
border and recruited reserve forces in preparation for a possible
Israeli attack.
Syria, however, denied the allegation, saying despite indications
that Israel is preparing a military assault against Syria, Damascus
"is not massing forces [along the border]".
