(Ha'aretz) - Amos Harel Israeli defense officials are concerned about the attempts of terror organizations, apparently with Syrian encouragement, to "heat up" the border between Israel and Jordan, especially near the northern section of the Jordanian border near Syria. About two weeks ago, Jordanian soldiers killed two armed men who were about to cross into Israeli territory. A senior military source said the terror squad was trained in a camp operated by one of the terror groups in Syria, from where it also received its orders for the infiltration mission. The squad belongs to an organization that is not well known to Israeli intelligence, but is apparently an extremist Islamic group.
