IDF probes organized border probes on Syrian frontier, warns of smuggling surge

A series of unusual incidents deep in Syrian territory is being assessed by the IDF as a possible organized effort to test response times, drawing comparisons to Gaza kite tactics. The new brigade commander faces a shifting reality, with authorities warning of a dire smuggling scenario: the army prepares for 500 trucks but 1,500 may arrive. The IDF estimates capability exists but questions adversary intent, while Golan residents remain skeptical.
