SYRIA RAIDS ISRAEL - Where Is It Leading? - Robert C Boraker - November 1966

Terrorist activities and border clashes are flaring again between Syria and Israel. How long can the UN police forces prevent a full-scale war? Jerusalem, Jordan. The Middle East is ready to explode at any moment. World leaders fear recent skirmishes between Israel and Syria could rupture the delicate fabric of Middle East peace and security. The situation is precarious! On the same day I arrived here in Jerusalem, the local newspaper Jerusalem Star blazed forth the headline, "Explosive Situation." Since then, the United Nations have intervened to save the peace. Syria suddenly became involved with internal strife within its own government. But at any moment, fresh border clashes could inflame this Middle Eastern tinderbox into a major conflict. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
