Yes, Israel is going to generously "defend" a village that is outside of the UN Disengagement Zone, governed by Syria, against jihadis. Their jihadis of course.That's called a foot in the door......... link From the above linked article

In a highly unusual move, Israel on Friday said it would defend the Syrian Druze village Hader, hours after a terrorist killed nine people in a suicide bombing just across the border that then sparked clashes between Syrian government forces and rebels. In a series of tweets, the army’s Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee said the IDF is prepared to “support the village residents and work to prevent any harm or the occupation of the village, out of a commitment to the Druze population.” The statement said top military brass on Friday morning were assessing the escalating situation across the border.Earlier, Syrian state news agency SANA said a jihadist fighter detonated the bomb Friday morning on the outskirts of Hader, in the northern countryside of Quneitra near the Israeli border.“A suicide bomber from Al-Nusra Front detonated a car bomb in the midst of the homes of citizens on the outskirts of Hader, killing nine people and injuring at least 23,” the agency said.

This is not an unusual move. This is a calculated move. Hader

Hader (Arabic: حضر‎‎, also spelt Hadar) is a village in southern Syria, administratively part of the Khan Arnabah Subdistrict of the Quneitra Governorate, in the portion of the province still under Syrian control. The town is located just outside the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force Zone
