Analysis: Don’t Underestimate Syria’s Military, Yaakov Katz (Jerusalem Post)
Excerpts;
Since the Second Lebanon War, Syria has established new commando units and is said to have increased urban and guerrilla warfare training.
“Syria saw the difficulty the IDF had during the fighting inside the southern Lebanese villages and now the military there wants to draw us – in the event of a war – into battles in built-up areas where they think they will have the upper hand,” explained a source in the IDF Northern Command.
According to Yiftah Shapir – a researcher with the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University – the Syrian military plans to use short-range Katyushas alongside the long-range ballistic Scuds in any future conflict with Israel.

Commentary;
What does this mean; “it was unable to rise to the challenge he posed to its Jewish nature and to Zionism”?
Does this mean that Israel’s political leaders are incapable and have insufficient erudition to present and prove Jews’ ownership of and eternal divine legacy to Eretz Yisrael?
