IDF: Syria has not mobilized reserves By Yuval Azoulay Syria has not mobilized its reserve forces, Military Intelligence officials said yesterday at a defense briefing. No irregular moves had taken place in recent days on the Syrian side of the border, the officials added, despite press reports to the contrary. Intelligence officials did say, however, that there were signs of "nervousness" and alertness on the Syrian Golan Heights - signs that also appeared last spring and continued into the summer. Defense officials attributed the Syrian alertness in the sector to widespread training exercises planned by the Israel Defense Forces for the near future. Advertisement Israeli military officials believe the Syrian army is continuing to train intensively, as it has since the Second Lebanon War, and that Iran continues to provide arms to Syria and Hezbollah.
