With ISIS continuing to hold the upper hand in Syria and Iraq, it appears that the terrorist network is planning what military strategists call a pincer movement to attack the Israeli homeland from the north and south. Three Syrian rebel groups switched loyalties to gain ISIS support for attacks on the Israeli occupied Golan Heights, according to a report by the Fiscal Times. ISIS is now able to coordinate with Egyptian ISIS-aligned terror group Ansar Bait al-Maqdis in Sinai to simultaneously pressure Israel's northern and southern borders...
Although the U.S. led Coalition Joint Task Force named "Operation Inherent Resolve" claims to have impacted ISIS command and control, resupply and maneuvering in Iraq and Syria, the number of ISIS fighters is still growing rapidly. No one is claiming that the bombing has slowed down ISIS recruiting of foreign fighters...
ISIS has been criticized by many Arabs and Sunni extremists for fighting Muslims instead of making war on Israel. A coordinated attack on Israel would be a PR bonanza for ISIS's popularity and undoubtedly would spur recruitment and funding efforts. Most of ISIS's top military commanders are former senior officers in Saddam Hussein's million man army. Facing the U.S. in the 1991 First Gulf War, Saddam hurled hundreds of Scud missiles at Israel in an effort to inflame the entire Middle East by goading the Jewish State into the Gulf War.

A bridge too far?

@#$%^&*!
“They’ve got us surrounded, the poor bastards.”
Israel cannot expect the US to help.
A lot of sand is going to be turned to glass ...
I’ll stock up on popcorn if it looks like a go.
Not too many historians among that group.
Do it...ISIS.....DO IT!
That is going to be a short offensive. ISIS has no air support to speak of, they will be shredded by the Israeli’s (not that I am complaining)..
Israel is well prepared.
ISIS has faced battlefield setbacks and the Egyptian jihadists face off the Egyptian army.
Logistical coordination among Islamic terrorists is still decades away.
Hey Barry, if this happens how are you going to blame this on the Jews?
This would not be the first time...
“When Joab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Syrians. The rest of his men he put in the charge of Abishai his brother, and he arrayed them against the Ammonites. And he said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me, but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you. Be of good courage, and let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.” So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him. And when the Ammonites saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.” (II Samuel 10:9-14 ESV)
Israeli response will be Kurdish to the power of 9 on steriods. Better get those virgins ready in jihadi paradise.
This would be an excellent opportunity for Israel to obliterate ISIS with unbridled viciousness. Then the rest of the world could become engaged with ISIS as a matter of sympathy and sit with how comfortable they might be with that sentiment.
An imaginary one, maybe. The current spin on things includes — Israel is backing ISIS against Assad, in order to get split the regimes in Syria and Iran and get a peace treaty before giving back the Golan; that the FSA has been expensively trained and armed by Obama/McCain/Soros/Bildebergers and joined ISIS en masse; and that the US is attacking ISIS when it really should be letting it run wild.
Israel won’t be giving back the Golan again, they’ve made that mistake before. The Yarmouk brigade realigned, which it has done before, at least twice in about a year, and has a bunch of so-called Palestinians living in its area.

Estimated 2,500 Palestinians killed in Syria conflict
(Iran’s source sez 1000, which means they’re responsible for the deaths)

Nobody can give a sane reason why the US supported, and still supports, driving Assad out of power in Syria. Look at the map. With Assad gone, ISIS has a corridor to the Med and real easy access to destabilizing Lebanon. How does that help the US, Israel, or what’s left of civilization in Europe? It’s a policy that benefits no one but Saudi Arabia, the country that has never seemed willing and/or able to fight their own wars.
The world will find a way to blame Israel for retaliating against ISIS. BOTOH - ISIS will be shredded. Goldfish do not attack sharks. Also, latest news: the planner of the attack that killed 130 kids in Pakistan has been killed.
If they can find one idiot among them who knows how to read, they should point him to the history of the Six Day War.. Israel will be prepared. We’ll be seeing scenes like the Highway of Death from the first Iraq war. Who will shed a tear? Hopefully instead of vehicles, we’ll be seeing bodies stacked as high as they can be stacked and for unlimited miles.
No, no, no ... I'm sure Obastard cares about Israel, just not in the way you would think he should. I'm sure he is in constant contact with ISIS about their coordinated attack and how he can run some type of interference for them. UN condemnation for Israel attacking Mooslimes and denying their "right of return" or some such BS.
