The Israeli army is reportedly preparing to interfere in Syrian internal affairs, increasing the number of its troops along Israel's border with Syria.
According to Israeli sources, the Israeli military is preparing for different scenarios in Syria, including military intervention, following a possible regime change in the country.
Tel Aviv has recently increased troop levels along its border with Syria, while many view as evidence supporting the theory that Tel Aviv is preparing to intervene in Syria, Israeli military officials claim that the surge in troops aims to secure the occupied Golan Heights in the event of a Syrian attack on Israeli targets.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March and according to the UN, 5,000 people have been killed in the country over the past nine months.
While the West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of the killings, Damascus blames ''outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups'' for the unrest that erupted in mid-March, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has repeatedly accused Israel, Turkey and a number of Western countries of fueling unrest in his country by funding and arming government opponents.
In interviews with Israeli news outlets over the past few months, the Syrian opposition members have clearly expressed their vision for the future of Syria and their interest in establishing relations with the Tel Aviv regime.
However, Syrian people have repeatedly expressed solidarity with the government. Figures show that during the past weeks, about 12 million people have demonstrated in support of President Assad and his reform program.
