In the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, people support Syria's Assad regime.
Israel annexed the Golan in 1981, but people in four villages on Syria's border are predominately Druze Arabs.
Many retain their Syrian citizenship and support an anti-Israeli alliance made up of Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah.
Israel has attacked Hezbollah and Iranian targets in Syria dozens of times since 2011, but the fear now is that the Golan Heights could become a new frontline.
