Israel has begun to occupy war-torn Syria, expanding its control in the southern region day by day and approaching the capital Damascus.
The bold Israel move began in the wake of the surprising collapse of the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. After some 14 years of resisting, the regime collapsed within 11 days of a major rebel offensive, led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an al-Qaeda offshoot, and indirectly backed by Turkey.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) began moving in Syria just a few hours after the fall of the regime on December 8.
Initially, the military said that it was deploying troops to the buffer zone between the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and Syria as a “temporary measure.”
Later on the same day, it announced that the Israeli Air Force’s (IAF) elite Shaldag Unit had captured the Syrian side of Mount Hermon, a strategic height that overlooks much of southern Syria and neighboring Lebanon.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced from the Golan Heights that the 1974 separation of forces agreement with Syria had finally collapsed.
On December 9, Israel expanded the goals of its operations in Syria. Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the IDF to create a “security zone free of heavy strategic weapons and terror infrastructure” in southern Syria, including beyond the buffer zone, that could pose a threat to Israel.
On the same day, Katz instructed the military to continue to destroy “strategic weapons” in Syria that Israel fears could fall into the hands of hostile forces, including “surface-to-air missiles, air defense systems, surface-to-surface missiles, cruise missiles, long-range rockets, and coast-to-sea missiles.” As a result, the IAF expanded its strikes to cover most of Syria’s territory, including the western governorates of Lattakia and Tartus as well as the northeastern governorate of al-Hasakah.
Israeli troops took over nearly all the buffer zone and reached the city of Ba’ath in al-Quneitra. The units deployed to the zone were reportedly the Paratroopers Brigade and the 210th “Bashan” Regional Division.
Early on December 10, the IDF pushed even deeper into southern Syria, with Reuters reporting the presence of Israeli troops some 25 kilometers to the southwest of the Syrian capital Damascus and in the outskirts of the town of Qatana which is located some ten kilometers away from the buffer zone.
On the same day, Hebrew media reported that the IDF had destroyed the capabilities of the SAA in the largest air operation it carried out in its history. Some 250 targets were hit, including weapons factories and military research facilities.
So far the IDF has faced no resistance from HTS, which is now the de-facto ruler of Syria, or any other rebel group. If this situation continues, Israel will likely push deeper especially near the border with Lebanon. The main goal is likely to impose its will on the new government forming in Damascus.

these are the weather forecasts for south front. we can expect the same old nonsense from nato’s propaganda machines. get ready for endless putin criticisms with no real reasons behind them, pointless attempts to upplay the syrian conflict’s importance for russia, and an increasing number of insults when the propagandists finally reach a point where trying to make sense of it all becomes too much for them (and that won’t take long).
gentlemen, understand that israel secures and fortifies the entrance to the country. israel absolutely does not have the military, economic and demographic capabilities to invade syrian territory.
they do because they control all sides in this war and in every war on this planet right now its the jews and its always the jews its time we all wake up as a collective and give these common denominators a real shoah they deserve wipe them out every last one of these criminals erase their dna from the genepool
don’t call them jews they are jew-ish not the real jews. the behavior they exhibit is non other than european. we seen this too many times they just fly a different banner to try to trick us.
i strongly disagree with your comments. each side has its plans and each side has more or less power. israel and the zionists have a lot of power but they are far from controlling everything. if syria and all syrians unite it will be a problem for israel.
wake up the nazis spread the anti semitism .
you’re a liar imo and a nazi and they were liars too .for a start they we’re never socialists and as soon as hitler came into power he proved it by having all of the socialists in the party murdered .
is that why adolf led the national socialist worker’s (german) party, because he was not a socialist? where does the far right end and the far left start? why is the ideology of the national socialists, the same as the bolshevik communists, with regards both demand totalitarian control?
false–read berdayaev–he distinguishes german nazi values govt from both soviet communist and italian fascism
funny your idiot ancestors gave them the arguments to persuade the planet to support everything they do.
i’m sure that v.v. would have been delighted had russia received in 2022 such western endorsement of the invasion of a neighbour.
it’s perfectly obvious imo that it’s a set up .it’s an act of war .
“as syria falls under nato influence, its large soviet arsenals could soon flow to ukraine” – “military watch”, december-9th-2024 … transfer of large parts of the syrian inventory to ukraine could provide a tremendous boost to the [ukraine’s] fighting strength. … over 3000 tanks being possible … syrian artillery inventories … ballistic missiles … syrian mig-29 and su-24 fighter aircraft, too … well, customary zionist air strikes put paid to that!
no .the new leaders playing a part the intention is for division of the world into russia iran and turkey to be thd axis of evil .all countries then that support them will be evil too .that’s the methodology imo that they’re going to move forward with .look abu means from, so your not from mohammed, it’s a geographic term so if your .abu dubai that’s where your from .
good for russia and good for the us arms industrie the ukrainians will get less and the usa will earn money a win win situation.
on the one hand, you have the us cheering al-qaeda all because the neocons have been trying for years to overthrow all three dictators they created in syria, iraq, and libya. now, they can get the pipeline from qutar to cut off russia’s energy sales to europe. so this is all about russia, russia, russia. meanwhile, they are so fixated on conquering russia that they have ignored the real threat in the middle east of the resurrection of the ottoman empire.
i have been asked about the israeli war and offer a solution. there is none!!!! this is a religious war, and a ceasefire will only be temporary. israel’s enemies are not limited to iran. it also includes turkey as we move forward in time. we still see 2027 as a critical target for the region.
what will be interesting is how turkey wanting syria, owing to rebuilding the ottoman empire and the fakes in israel, wanting syria, owing to their greater project. will be interesting to see how it all pans out and funnily enough, i have more faith in turkey than those that were placed in the me, back in 1947.
the energy story is the biggest lie ever told they all know it there’s so much energy it’s really worth nothing gas loads of oil coal even forests still .and green deals full of hot air too .they all know tesla proved that the earth generates,entirely free clean electricity by acting as a generator simply by spinning on its north south magnetic pole axis it’s an induction coil generator it’s all lies .everything.
he is just a puppet on a string even if he thinks differently.
as i sit back munching on the popcorn and sipping on the wine, i do wonder why the government (all parties) of the nation i was born into supports al qaeda/isis in syria and the nazis in ukraine. with full support from blackrock media.
stop spreading misinformation israel s part of the uk and you know it. its english. charles is it’s king .its his kingdom .
3 corporations rule the world. all three, squat in nations, whilst having their own laws, taxes and ideology based on the roman empire. jerusalem was an outpost of the roman empire over 2,000 years ago. the vatican – spirituality, washington dc – military, city of london – economics.
2) the treaty of 1213, when the pope bailed out king john, in return of all the territory of england and all her colonies and future colonies. the treaty has never been revoked. why are all american presidents, apart from one, distant relatives of the uk monarchs?
are you crazy?
well done to those jihadi freaks they have enabled israel to destroy and occupy parts of syria, syria was one of only a few arab countries who resisted israel, so good job you arseholes.
they already openly admitted on tv that they like israel and thank them for crushing hezbolah without which they would have had a harder time toppling assad. so yes they have done their job well done as intended.
this is so right.
most of these paid up ratbag ragheads aren’t arab anyway. doped up low iq minds shooting off rounds into the sky. what goes up, must come down.
i’m very sceptical about an average arab iq. i’m trying to digg up some info online to support my thesis that the arabs are almost half retarded which explains why the jews always outsmart them in every and any scenario
as if they would not outsmart the rest of the world as well. i mean one of them is right now literaly acting president in questions of foreign relations in the usa. they outsmarted france to get the nuke tech and they eliminated the entire chain of the resistance axis west of iraq and began it with putting explosives in pagers.
amerikans are fully retarded; iq has been entirely falsified—‘mismeasure of man’ s gould
what happened is a catastrophy similar to the fall of constantinople to the ottoman hords. what happened is an unbelievable betrayal to all the martyrs and heores who gave their lives to save the syrian nation. rip issam zahreddine.
and fuck all you braindead neonazi psycos who come here arguing syria does not matter, that the fate of this country is irrelevant to world history
syria illegally immorally occupied by turkeys, amerikuns, kurds israel
situation in syria and the jews (they are behind the attack on syria as part of their wet dream ’the greatér israel’) tells us that the jews illegally occupying palestine must go, for good! with jews around there will never be place and a tranquil world and thus they need to be stored away at -6 to -18 feet. common sense dictates such outcome!
it was not a surprising uprising of ankara-paid-forces. logically israel will increase the buffer-zone. everyone would do it.
