I've Been Thinking:

Israel has declared the entire region of the Golan Height where it abuts Syria a closed military zone.

There are two reasons for the closure.

# 1: In the aftermath of the increased number of massacres of Druze in Syria, their family and outside sympathizers have organized protests on the Israeli side of the border in the hope of influencing Israel to intervene stop the massacres in Syria.
The closure will keep people safely away from a hot border. The protesters are targets for al Qaeda, al Nusra and ISIS rebels.

# 2: Israel is expecting a massive exodus of Druze and other Syrians as the massacres continue. When that happens the area must be free of civilians in order to properly facilitate the escape of these Syrians seeking refuge and safety in Israel.

I know - it sounds preposterous. But yes, thousands of Syrians have already sought safety in Israel. More are on the way.
