An Iranian supported Shi'a militia, Al-Nujaba, says it formed the
"Golan Liberation Army" to fight Israel, the Middle East Media
Research Institute (MEMRI) reports.
"This army has been trained and has detailed plans. If the Syria
regime asks us to, we are ready to act to liberate the Golan [from Israel]
along with our allies," Al-Nujaba spokesman Hashem Al-Mousawi said in
a March 8 interview with Iran's Tasnim news agency.
Al-Mousawi also admitted that the new militant group is "part of
the PMU [Popular Mobilization Units]," an Iraqi-backed umbrella
organization comprised of numerous Shi'a militias, including some with
close ties to Iran. The Golan Liberation Army emerged from the Iranian led
"resistance" axis and consists of "special forces who have
received training and equipment," he said.
"Iran is the only country that has helped us," Al-Mousawi
said, "and sent us its military advisors, led by Qassem
Soleimani."
Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps'
(IRGC) Quds Force, is tasked with advancing Iran's regional expansion and
terrorist networks. Since September 2015, Iran increased its forces in
Syria from hundreds to thousands to support Hizballah terrorists acting at
Iran's behest in propping up the Bashar al-Assad regime.
Despite Iran's commitment to Syria, the Islamic Republic is establishing
terrorist networks in the Golan Heights, using Hizballah, Druze, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)
operatives to target Israel. The new Golan Liberation Army shows that Iran
is now diverting Iraqi militia assets from fighting ISIS to confront the
Jewish state.
Soleimani's Quds Force financed most of the Iraqi-Shi'ite militias and
provided them with weapons specifically to target American soldiers. With
Hizballah's assistance, the Quds Force supplied terrorists with powerful
explosive devices that killed numerous American and coalition troops in
Iraq.
Israel is very concerned with the establishment of Iranian-led terrorist bases in the Golan Heights.
Hizballah openly seeks to consolidate its presence in the region and launch
attacks against Israel from a new front in a future war.
