Iran is still trying to attack Israel - through Syria proxies

YNet has a fascinating article about an Israeli raid in Syria:

“In the past, if you had asked me whether I’d lead an operation like this, I’d have told you you’re way off,” admitted Lt. Col. (res.) Y., commander of the Alexandroni Reserve Brigade’s 7012nd Battalion. 

Just days earlier, he led his troops some 10 kilometers into Syrian territory in a covert overnight raid to arrest members of a terror cell operated by Iran’s Quds Force before they could carry out an attack on Israeli forces along the buffer zone. The operation remained classified until the team safely returned to Israeli territory.

Most of the article concentrates on the unqualified success of this complex raid: an entire Iranian cell arrested in their sleep and taken to Israel for interrogation without a single shot fired.  

But more interesting are the small details it mentions, like, "This was the second time in a week that an Iranian-led Syrian force had been captured." And this: "During the 12-day war with Iran...while the aerial battle raged, soldiers on the ground held the line against infiltration attempts and terror cells from Syria.

This isn't a story about how well Israeli forces are doing their jobs. it is a story that even in the new Syria, Iran still controls terror cells that are trying, seemingly daily, to attack Israel.

That is a story we are not hearing about in the news. The impression from the mainstream media is that Iran is quiet again, licking its wounds. But it still has proxies, even in Syria, and it is still trying to attack Israel using that proxy strategy it has used for decades.
