Israel is getting "ready" for the Syrian problem to possibly enter Israel.
They are even "preparing" for non-terrorist civilians to attack.
(this is emphasized more than one time in the article .. at the beginning and at the end)
They seem pretty certain that Assad will fall soon.
The IDF may soon face assaults from Syrian civilians who may not be military in nature, but perhaps just regular "refugees".
Israel says it has not noticed any buildup along its' border with Syria.
A bit ironic too is the picture (in the article) of a smiling Assad waving to what appears to be thousands of supporters !
What will Israel do with non-terrorist civilians who are captured ?

IDF bracing for all 'post-Assad' scenarios
in Syria
Military also preparing for possible attack in Golan Heights on Israeli targets by Syrian civilians, without any real involvement of terrorist
groups.
The IDF is preparing for the disintegration of President Bashar Assad's regime in Syria and taking steps that include stepping up situation
assessment efforts and making necessary adjustments in scenarios for which the army must prepare on the northern front.
Last week it was reported that the number of soldiers who have deserted the Syrian army passed the 10,000 mark. This news follows related
developments, such as the high number of Syrian draftees who are failing to show up for their military service, as signs of the regime's collapse in
the near future.
At the same time, in monitoring events along Israel's border with Syria, the IDF has not seen any signs of a change in the deployment of Syrian
forces near the frontier. Despite sightings of refugees attempting to flee Syria, primarily toward Turkey and Lebanon, there have been no attempts by
refugees to flee to Israeli territory.
The IDF is also preparing for a possible attack in the Golan Heights on Israeli targets by Syrian civilians, without any real involvement of
terrorist groups.
Is Israel ready for a multiple front conflict ?
