Tensions between Israel and Syria continued over the following months.
On January 31, Israel attacked the Syrian village of Tawfik, overlooking the Sea of Galilee, claiming that it had been used by the Syrian army to bombard Israeli villages in the Galilee.
Three Israeli soldiers were killed in the operation.
The raid led to the outbreak of the Rotem Crisis, during which Egypt had deployed its armed forces on Israel's undefended southern border, catching Israel off guard.
Laskov later described the crisis as the most dramatic of his tenure as IDF Chief of the General Staff.
