Local Editor

The "Israeli" army deployed an Iron Dome anti-rocket battery in the Haifa area early Friday morning.

According to the "Jerusalem Post" "Israeli" daily, the army's decision came "amid heightened tensions in the North stemming from the ongoing Syrian civil war".

The "Israeli" army Spokesman's Office stated that Iron Dome batteries are redeployed periodically in accordance with appraisals of the security situation.

Meanwhile, "Israeli" Chief of Staff Lt.- Gen. Benny Gantz told pilots receiving their wings, "The region is shaking, from south to north. Syria is hemorrhaging blood."
"In the face of this changing reality, we must be prepared, coordinated and alert, more than ever. You, the graduates, have from now on an inseparable part in safeguarding our readiness against these challenges," he added.

Gantz further stated that "all fronts - from south to north - are turbulent.In the face of a changing reality, we are required to be more prepared than ever."
Hours earlier, the Zionist entity's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and War Minister Moshe Ya'alon observed a Golani Brigade war drill on the occupied Golan Heights on Wednesday.

"An exercise on the Golan Heights is not just a theoretical exercise," Netanyahu said after watching a brief part of the drill on the central Golan. "The situation around us has changed swiftly. It is volatile and dynamic, and we need to be prepared accordingly."

The daily further commented: "While a few months ago there was concern...that a rebel victory in Syria could bring al-Qaeda forces precariously close to "Israel's" border, there is now increasing concern of an Iranian victory in Syria, and its negative implications for "Israel"."

"I want to tell you from experience that battle is the kingdom of uncertainty - regardless of how much training and preparation," Netanyahu said, and hoped that Tel Aviv "won't be tested".
