Since the recent regime change in Syria, Israel has been carrying out more and more airstrikes against targets across the nation. The latest was today in Adra, a town in the metro Damascus area, where an Israeli drone killed at least 17 people, mostly civilians.
Details are still emerging over the latest attack. Israel has not commented on it at all, but the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said they believed the attack was targeting a weapons depot in the industrial part of Adra.
Israel has made one of its priorities since the ouster of the Assad government attacking Syria’s military infrastructure. Israeli ground forces have also invaded additional territory in the Quneitra and Daraa Provinces, capturing villages.
Exactly where Israel is going to land on Syria is unclear. Though they cheered the ouster of President Assad and quickly made contact with the new Islamist government, the repeated airstrikes and concern about Turkey’s influence suggests they aren’t looking at Syria as a suddenly friendly neighbor.
Israeli FM Gideon Sa’ar over the weekend condemned the new Syrian Islamists as lacking legitimacy, saying as far as Israel is concerned they’re a “gang – not a legitimate government,” and attacked them for their “extreme ideologies.”
In the end, Israel’s stance toward Syria may not have changed dramatically with the regime change. Airstrikes are continuing apace, civilian bystanders are being killed, and while the new government talks of not being an enemy to Israel, that doesn’t seem to mean much in terms of slowing the rate of strikes.
Civil war, war with Turkey? More genocide?
Turks will never face them in war. These two only believe in murdering the weak, the innocent and the feeble.
But retaliation against the drone attack will be seen as anti semtic terrorism.
"Israeli FM Sa’ar denies Syrian government’s legitimacy, calls regime ‘a gang – not a government’"
What happened to " We prefer ISIS" ?
Syria cant change,improve ,become different enough for the thugs.Another thug will occupy the position from where lecturing,hectoring and blathering are done to the rest of the world regarding what the world should do for Israel to move the goal post to the next locus.
Israel is in for a big surprise and a rude awakening. Arabs are finally beginning to clean house. Once that's done overrunning Israel is just a matter of time.
I would not be so sure of that. They are so deceptive, no one can trust anyone.
There are some indications that things are copming to a head. For example, the head of Syria met with Libyan officials and they are saying positive things. Both countries have been failed states so they have an incentive to change that. In addition, the PA has been targeting and killing Palestinian resistance fighters in the West Bank. This will come to a head at some point especially once Abbas passes from the scene, or if a Barghouti is released from Israel as part of a prisoner release agreement. I don't discount things getting worse before they get better.
Sorry I don't see much evidence of it. And Trump already promised that he will support Israel "Ueber Alles".
In the long run it would only be just that there finally comes a reckoning for Israel and the US but karma takes time. The universe operates on a different timeline than we mortals down here.
On that level I agree. I, for one am content with doing my job and leaving the results to God. As for the indicators that it will happen in a few short years is actually there. Arabs are getting tired of continued, death and destruction. Population is young and future looks bleak so more will take things into their own hands. Non state actors have shown Israel can be fought and defeated. The west is also changing. The genocide in Gaza contributed to the loss of Harris. It's anecdotal but the transformation Candace Owens has gone through on Gaza is being repeated throughout the country. Things are happening fast but not as fast as we would like to see.
That should not come as a surprise, it was to be expected, the parties of the conflict are a bunch of deceptive criminals, it will make a bloody civil war slaughter inevitable.
Why else would the Israelis bomb the Syrian infrastructure?
Israel has done a good job of exposing the BALL-LESS, COMPROMISED and BLACKMAILED "leaders" of the impotent USA government! May they and their MASTER Nutty Yahoo burn in Hell!
They don’t believe in burning in hell. They believe in reign in hell.
