Israel has once again escalated its attacks against Syria despite engaging in a fierce war with Hamas in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip and border clashes with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The escalation began on July 9 when Israeli strikes hit the coastal town of Baniyas in the northern Tartus countryside. Hebrew media alleged that the attack targeted an air defense system belonging to Iran-backed forces. There were no casualties.
Later on the same day, an Israeli strike killed Hezbollah senior commander Yasser Qarnabash, a former bodyguard to the group’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, near the village of Saboura on the Syrian part of the Damascus-Beirut highway.
Another member of Hezbollah was reportedly killed in the same strike, and the Syrian driver was critically wounded. The member was a mid-ranking official involved in transporting weapons across the border on behalf of Hezbollah.
On July 10, The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that its tanks and artillery shelled sites of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the southern Syrian governorate of al-Quneitra that had violated the 1974 Agreement on Disengagement.
The shelling reportedly targeted the Diriyah Regiments in the southern countryside of al-Qunitra. There were no casualties.
On July 12, a rocket fired from southern Syria struck an open area in the southern part of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, causing no injuries.
In response, the IDF said that it struck an SAA post near the town of Tasil in the western Daraa countryside. Again, no casualties were reported.
The situation escalated further on July 13, when two Iranian-made Shahed-type suicide drones were shot down by Israeli fighter jets and Iron Dome air defense systems near the southernmost Israeli city of Eilat. Hebrew media reported that the drones were launched from Syria, which was later confirmed by the IDF.
Israel responded by launching a wave of strikes against Syria on July 14. The targets struck during the attack included a central SAA command center, infrastructure and air defense systems, according to the IDF.
Syrian state-run media said that a soldier was killed and three others were injured in the Israeli attack, which targeted military sites in southern Syria and a residential building in the Damascus suburb of Kafr Sousa.
The escalation reached another level on July 15 when a suspected Israeli strike near the village of Saboura on the Damascus-Beirut highway killed prominent Syrian businessman Mohammad Baraa Qatarji, who was sanctioned by the United States, and another unidentified man.
Qatarji had been sanctioned in 2018 by the US Treasury for facilitating “shipments of fuel and weapons to the Syrian regime.”
All in all, Israel appears to be escalating against Syria to make up for its failure in Gaza and on the border with Lebanon. Upcoming months could see more escalation on this front.

you don’t start more war when you are failing at war. you start more war because you are succeeding.
and they are succeding because states like syria are scared to fight back.
moron amerikan hillbilly imho expert at losing wars
netanyahoo starts more fights to maintain the crisis the keeps him out of jail. when syria starts knocking israeli f16 out of the sky you’re going to see israel fold up and collapse.
well the us knows all about failing at wars.
the snivelling and criminal jews can’t or dare not attack hezbollah as being a too hard nut to crack and the jews, snivelling cowards chooses syria in order to hide their own inability to win against hamas or hezbollah and put together syria with iraqi/houthis resistense . cowards being on their way from palestine!
it all fits into the big picture. 1st israel killed iranian president (helicopter not good) & replaced him with a pro-israeli agent (half-aserbaidchan & half kurdish guy). then in the usa israel does everything to bring trump into power – who has already agreed to unleash war against iran (same as hillary clinton) and do everything to please israel and deestroy the palestinians.
yes that’s it. iran & hezbollah cant win if its (iran’s) president is a israeli marionette. and hezbollah leaders already are&will continue to be targeted 1 by 1 by israel due to treason from inside iran. thats likely the future for (2025/2026). at least if not people in iran & else where wake up and stop the infiltrators and infiltration itself.

israel is bitch-slapping assad again…heheheh
taliban bitch slapped amerikunt
what is south front trying to gain by repeating israeli (idf) propaganda?
‘syrian regime’ i’d agree with ya.
escalation in my diaper neglected in nursing home
don’t worry, nursing home community cat will bury you in the sandbox, again…
we hack anglo brain but nothing there
the only entity capable of providing the houthis with the drone technology capable of evading idf air defense is russia. this “gift” to israel was a russian shot across the bow in response to the idf’s escalating attacks in syria. is russia finally stepping up? what will the israeli response be?
not just russia but every major power is eager to please the israelis so they know no matter what they are safe even in a multipolar world israel would still have the same freedom to do whatever they feel like.
“nothing is permanent.” buddha
russia ought to involve itself more but the ukrainian war takes its toll. but since the jews more or less has sided with jew zelensky and is providing ukraine with weapons a handfull of serious missiles to the houthis and the iraqi-resistence will force the jews to consider the situation. after all the jews are up against the wall and not much else to do than to show bravado even if they are about to be kicked to kingdom come!
jews are the children of lucifer they are demon spawns. their flag is the mark of the beast 2 triangles a 6 pointer whichs numbers 666 the solution to all wars in the middle east is open borders for israel. israel is too white and its run by a supremist regime. if we tear down the apartheids walls in gaza and the west bank and let true palestinian diversity in israel will become the most diverse and peaceful nation in the middle east.
the scum jews turn to syria when they realize that hezbollah is a hard nut to crack having not forgotten the 2006 debacle. thus syria is their alternative since the jews can bomb the place without setting foot there. give syria a decent airdefence and the thieving lying jews will have to rethink their situation. and attacking hezbollah will involve iran and as was proved recently the iron doom is a sieve better called iron doom!!!!
