Member of Knesset Sharren Haskel, who serves on the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, has sent a letter to the Committee Chairman Avi Dichter, requesting an urgent tour of the northern border in order to ascertain the readiness of the Israel Defense Forces and the home front.
Haskel wrote, "Following the IDF's actions in Syria last night, the escalation of tension in the Golan Heights and the continued Iranian threats to the existence of the State of Israel, we must act under the assumption that the tension on the northern border is liable to worsen."
