Islamic State Fighters Admit They Fear Israel: ‘These People Can Fight a Guerrilla War’

TEL AVIV – A German journalist who spent days with the Islamic State said that the only country in the Middle East that the jihadists fear is Israel because they know that the Jewish state’s “army is too strong for them.”

In an interview with the British Jewish News, Jurgen Todenhofer recalls the ten days spent behind enemy lines during which he spoke with ISIS fighters.

“The only country ISIS fears is Israel,” Todenhofer, a former member of the German parliament, said. “They told me they know the Israeli army is too strong for them.”

Todenhofer also said that ISIS is hoping to lure British and American forces into Syria and Iraq, areas where it thinks it has an advantage having captured huge swaths of land.

“They think they can defeat US and UK ground troops, who they say they have no experience in city guerrilla or terrorist strategies,” he told Jewish News. “But they know the Israelis are very tough as far as fighting against guerrillas and terrorists.”

“They are not scared of the British and the Americans, they are scared of the Israelis and told me the Israeli army is the real danger. We can’t defeat them with our current strategy. These people [the IDF] can fight a guerrilla war.”

That's because Israel has no pansy "rules of engagement". When they fight they fight to win.

12:57 is correct - we need to be more like this....

In 1775 we started a rebellion - against the crown that had soldiers fighting under rules of engagement...we won with that can of whoop-ass!

More accurate to write that Israel created and funded ISIS through the Obama Administration. ISIS does the bidding of Israel.

ISIS is the best thing that ever happened for Israel's goals in the region. Israel and Saudi Arabia are partners in the genocide of Shia Muslims.

You guys might want to bone up on the ways of Israeli intelligence. Mossad created ISIS and named it after the Egyptian goddess who the Talmudists worship.
