A series of reports from the United Nations have confirmed that Israeli security forces have given significant assistance to Syrian opposition groups, specifically during the past 18 months as the war on Syria rages. Some reports detail western support as far back as 4 years.
The UN’s Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights has provided numerous details proving Israel’s strong cooperation with Syrian insurgents, including the Syrian al-Qaeda group Jabhat al-Nusra.
The reports document a number of instances where Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) had dealings with “armed members of the opposition”, often crossing the disputed Israeli-Syrian border, spanning 18 months from March 2013 to December 2014.
The specific groups involved are not identified for each occurrence but it is clear that they are among the various militants groups fighting against the Syrian Army and President Bashar Al-Assad, and not just refugees.
“UNDOF sporadically observed armed members of the opposition interacting with IDF across the ceasefire line in the vicinity of United Nations position 85,” as quoted from the most recent report.
One of the more explicit allegations documents 59 incidents at ‘Position 85′ (see map) alone, where UN staff “observed armed members of the opposition transferring 89 wounded persons from the Bravo side across the ceasefire line to IDF and IDF on the Alpha side handing over 19 treated and 2 deceased individuals to the armed members of the opposition on the Bravo side”, which is noted in the June 10, 2014 report.

On Sunday, a United Nations panel investigating war crimes in Syria said in a report that ISIS militants have been receiving “external support” in the last four years.
“They did not fall from the sky. They have been entering Syria with external support in the last four years,” said Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, chair of the inquiry, adding sarcastically that the presence of ISIS was not a “big discovery.”
Assad was speaking to members of the ruling Baath party, just days after US President Barack Obama rejected any alliance with the Syrian president against the jihadists.
