Yesterday, the IDF exposed an Iranian-led Syrian attack along the Alpha Line.
But what exactly is the Alpha Line?
@LTCJonathan is here to set the facts straight about one of the most contested locations in the world: the Israel-Syria border.
1077
Israel and Iran don't share a border.
In fact, Tehran is 1,000 miles from Jerusalem.
So why did an Iranian-led Syrian squad plant this IED on the Israel-Syria border?
Because Iran's terror knows no border.
Luckily, we're here to stop them.
1078
What Iran & Syria did: placed improvised explosive devices by the Alpha Line to hit Israeli troops.
What we did: just struck Iranian Quds Force & Syrian Armed Forces targets in Syria.
We stand prepared to operate against Iranian entrenchment in Syria.
1079
We just exposed a number of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) near the Israeli side of the Alpha Line on the southern Golan Heights.
We hold the Syrian regime responsible for all events in Syria and will not tolerate any violation of our sovereignty.

The IDF sends its condolences to the families of the Multinational Force & Observers (MFO) personnel from @USNationalGuard, @armeedeterre & @ArmadaCR who died in a helicopter crash today.
This event is a tragedy for the MFO, who work to promote stability between Israel & Egypt.

Islamic Jihad in Gaza commander Baha Abu al-Ata was a ticking time bomb.
One year ago, the IDF targeted him in a surgical strike & put an end to his terror.
