Israel army ‘assisting UN forces in repelling attack’ in Syria
The Israeli army says its soldiers were assisting United Nations peacekeeping forces in the Syrian-controlled part of the Golan Heights in repelling an attack “by armed individualsâ€.
“A short while ago, an attack was carried out by armed individuals at a UN post in the Hader area in Syria,†the army said in a statement, referring to a town on the edge of the UN-patrolled buffer zone in the Golan Heights.
“The [Israeli army] is currently assisting the UN forces in repelling the attack.
Israel has shored up its troops in the occupied Golan Heights. I guess making sure the rebels don't get any ideas of liberating the Golan Heights now they have momentum.
And likely also in reaction the latest UNGA resolution on the Golan Heights 4 days ago.

Editing more in.
From 2012 to 2018, the eastern half of the Golan Heights became a scene of repeated battles between the Syrian Army, rebel factions of the Syrian opposition (including the United States-backed Southern Front) as well as various jihadist organizations such as al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant -affiliated Khalid ibn al-Walid Army. In July 2018, the Syrian government regained full control over the eastern Golan Heights.
It was probably just some Jihadists, may be why Israel is being careful in saying "armed individuals".
