Their concerns are not unfounded. In a short documentary aired on Israel’s Channel 2, wounded Syrian fighters being treated in an Israeli hospital said they would not protect the Druze, adding that Nusra Front fighters would probably kill the Druze if they entered their areas.
Claiming to be fighters with the Free Syrian Army, they freely admitted to fighting alongside Nusra Front in the south, hailing the fighters as “strong and heroic”.
[...]
According to Tobias Lang, a researcher on religious minorities in the region, Israel has never had a strong interest in helping the Druze of Syria.

Syrian rebels strengthen hold over Israel border region
Senior Israeli official says rebels currently don’t pose a threat to Israeli security.

Syrian rebel groups strengthened their hold over the Syrian side of the Quneitra Crossing — located on the frontier between Syrian and Israeli controlled parts of the Golan Heights – over the weekend and managed to repel attacks by Syrian forces loyal to President Bashar Assad.
The rebels kidnapped dozens of Fiji soldiers, members of the UN observer force stationed in the Golan Heights and are maintaining a siege on a second UN stronghold manned by Philippine soldiers. Officials in the Israeli security services said that it is a relatively moderate militia, the Free Syria Army, that controls the Syrian side of the border crossing, and that the Nusra Front, which is affiliated with Al-Qaida currently pose no threat. Despite this, Israeli forces in the Golan Heights are on relatively high alert due to the recent developments.
Some 300 members from different groups participated in the taking of the Quneitra Crossing. This varied force was led by the Free Syria Army and with only a small number of Nusra Front members. The government forces that held the crossing before sustained losses in life and retreated to the north to areas controlled by the government. Over the weekend the Syrian army conducted several artillery barrages on the crossing area and tried to retake the area unsuccessfully. Israeli security officials characterized this attempt as "pathetic.”

  Ce qui contredit tous les autres rapports, qui eux assurent que les rebelles ne sont composés que de membres d’al-Nosra.

  Les islamistes du Front al-Nosra, la branche syrienne d’al-Qaïda, ont attaqué les casques bleus de l’ONU sur le plateau du Golan, en Syrie, hier samedi. Encerclés sur leur base depuis 48 heures, les soldats ont riposté. Les 75 Philippins de la Force des Nations unies pour le désengagement sur le Golan (UNDOF) ont pu être évacués et sont sains et saufs, ont indiqué dimanche des porte-parole de l’armée philippine.
  Le face-à-face durait depuis 48 heures entre les casques bleus de l’ONU retranchés sur leurs bases et les combattants d’Al-Nosra, appuyés par d’autres groupes armés.

  D’après les responsables israéliens, la prise du poste frontière par les rebelles ne constitue pas un danger immédiat pour l’Etat hébreu. Plusieurs médias arabes indiquent que l’image des autorités israéliennes auprès des villages situés à l’est de la ligne de démarcation s’est améliorée au cours des deux dernières années, notamment après la construction d’un hôpital de campagne. Des centaines de blessés syriens y ont été soignées. Le poste frontière est aujourd’hui aux mains de plusieurs groupes jugés plus modérés et moins enclins à la confrontation avec Israël. Le Front Al-Nosra – qui les avait aidés à s’emparer du poste frontière – a été progressivement écarté de la zone.

  Concernant les « rebelles » qui combattent à Quneitra, une version plus en phase avec la plupart des rapports,

  ... Israel’s attitude wavered as #Jabhat_al-Nusra, whose leader, Abu Muhammad al-Jolani, takes his name from the Israeli-occupied Heights, bested the more moderate Free Syrian Army in Syria’s south. Now that the Islamists have taken over the Quneitra crossing, the Israeli government may be tacitly approving of Mr Assad’s bombing of rebel positions inside the narrow demilitarised zone. “It’s in Israel’s interest that Assad controls the gate and not radical Islamist groups,” says Kobi Marom, a retired Israeli brigadier, watching from a hill above Quneitra.

  Rebels seize most of Syria’s Golan truce line
  ▻http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2014/09/13/NGO-Rebels-seize-most-of-Syrian-side-of-Golan-truce-line.html
  Al-Qaeda-led rebels have seized most of the Syrian side of the armistice line with Israel on the Golan Heights, a monitoring group said on Saturday.
  #Al-Qaeda affiliate #Al-Nusra Front and its allies launched a major offensive against government forces in Quneitra province last month, capturing the sole crossing point over the armistice line to the Israeli-occupied sector of the strategic plateau.
  “The regime is on the retreat before the advancing rebels,” Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
  “The regime has now lost control of about 80 percent of towns and villages in Quneitra province.”
