Syrian internal security troops force their way into IDF checkpoint in southern Syria.

Syrian internal security troops force their way into an Israeli checkpoint established by the IDF in Southern syria.

They chanted Anti Jewish slogans.
"Oh Kahyber Jews the Army of Mohammed shall return".
They chanted that at the IDF??? Just when the Big Turban is trying to soothe the world with the idea that really they’re just like conservative Americans with tans — perfectly civilized and trustworthy — at this moment they remind the IDF and the world that pious Muslims think Mohammed wiping out the Jewish tribes of the Khaybar oasis in 628 AD, killing all the males from puberty on and taking the females into slavery was a good thing.. Clearly Allah wants Hayat Tahrir ak Sham/Al Nusra to be punished in all the ways, like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Mad Mullahs, because he inspired them to the uttermost depths of stupidity.
This was the same place where the three Syrian civilians got shot by the IDF just moments earlier.
If they got shot by the IDF, very probably they were not at all civilians moments before they were.
This marks a shift, where the Syrian internal security forces take on an active role and openly disregard the Israeli Military Forces.
Arrest them, O IDF. Let “interim President” al Sharaa horsetrade to get them back.



The perspective from Israel:
IDF confirms opening fire on ‘suspects’ in Syria

[IsraelTimes] The IDF confirms opening fire on suspects at the entrance to the southern Syrian town of Khan Arnabeh a short while ago.

According to the military, riots erupted as troops operated in the area, during which “several suspects approached the forces and posed a threat to them.”

The IDF says troops fired warning shots in the air, and after the suspects continued to approach, the soldiers fired at the legs of two “main instigators.”
That’s ok, then. It sounds like they weren’t at all impressed by the scary chanting, and the idiots got to enjoy being shot at, and probably hit…
The riot dispersed shortly afterward, the army adds.
Being shot at at fairly close range does rather get the attention, I hear — that whiff of grapeshot thingy.
Troops then withdrew from the area.

According to Syrian media, Syrians had protested in the area after the IDF set up a checkpoint on a major highway.

Footage shows armed members of Syria’s internal security forces in pickup trucks passing by the IDF troops on the highway following the incident.
