On Sunday, Israel may have been dragged into Syria's civil war. A stray mortar shell landed in Israel, hitting an Israeli military post. This forced Israel to fire anti-tank missiles as warning shots into Syria to show that Israel will not tolerate any of this. Israel is not the only country have the Syrian civil war spilling over into their borders. Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan are also being caught up in the conflict. Israel fears that this conflict will escalate because it claims the three Syrian tanks crossed into Israel earlier this month. "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet that Israel is 'closely monitoring' the border with Syria and is 'ready for any development.'" If Bashar Assad's regime were to collapse then the region would destabilize. This would allow many Islamic extremist groups, like Hezbollah, to gain access to weapons that could be used against Israel.
