Israel continues to test the patience of the new government in Syria, which is led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), by expanding its military operations in the war-torn country.
Just a few hours after the fall of the Assad regime on December 8, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) began operating in southern Syria, mainly in governorates of al-Qunitra, Rif Dimashq and Daraa. It also launched hundreds of strikes against bases and equipment of the now-dissolved Syrian Arab Army (SAA).
On December 16, the IDF entered the town of Ma’ariya, a few hundred meters east of the buffer zone in the occupied Golan Heights. And on December 17 Israeli tanks entered the town of Saidah, also on the edge of the buffer zone.
On December 17, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Mount Hermon, a strategic height in southern Syria.
Standing atop Mount Hermon, Netanyahu, who previously said the collapse of the 1974 separation of forces agreement with Syria, announced that Israel would remain at its peak “until another arrangement can be found that guarantees Israel’s security.”
HTS head Ahmed al-Sharaa said in an interview with The Times on the same day that Israel must stop bombing Syria and withdraw from the buffer zone between the countries which Israel seized after Assad’s fall.
Still, the IDF advanced further into southern Syria on December 19. Israeli troops dismantled all Syrian military sites in the slopes of Mount Hermon and the plateaus of Quneitra and Daraa.
The IDF aso bulldozed the sites of the Haramoun sign, Tel Ain Marwan, Tel al-Hamriya, al-Tilal al-Humr, and Tel al-Kassarat in the far northern countryside of Quneitra.
In addition, the military destroyed the headquarters of the second and third battalions of the 90th Brigade, which was one of the SAA’s largest formations. Communication and jamming equipment were also taken or destroyed by Israeli troops.
On December 20, Israeli troops entered the western outskirts of the town of al-Rafid in the southern countryside of Quneitra.
This advance solidified Israel’s occupational control over more than 500 square kilometers of southern Syria.
Commenting on Israeli operations in Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on December 19 that Israel was the main beneficiary of the downfall of the Assad regime in Syria and casted doubt on Israel’s plans to withdraw troops from a buffer zone once the situation stabilizes.
Despite their past rivalry with Russia, the new government in Syria does not appear to be very enthusiastic about a Russian military withdrawal from the country. HTS leadership apparently understands that such a move could encourage Israel to escalate its operations in the country. A Russian withdrawal may even encourage other foreign actors to move into the Syrian coast.

“syria’s patience”????? syria has ceased to exist, like iraq and libya before it. the thought of it having “patience” is laughable.
syria is over for now. they will put a “head of the snake” goverment satellite of israel, turkey and western values where the childrens are only allowed to be corrupt, meak and weak. in the short run israel 1 usa 1, but i do not think is going to end well to israel, because of the backfire. long term israel would probably cease to exist.
u fucking jew
no, not an inbred hook nose, i think. just cynical and getting angrier like the rest of humanity. our thoughts should collectively be on discussing what appropriate kiloton yield weapon should be used on this tel aviv rat-hole. the quicker, the better.
a new star is born.

if they thought life under assad was bad, wait til they get a load of the idf in their face.
for a start they didn’t a few western agents and mercenaries did .apart from the obvious disruptive terrorist activities life was ok by middle east standards .and your blatant anti semitism is redundant rhetoric boring and transparent. imo
blatant doofus who can’t write coherent sentences.
see if my response gets past the censors here. exposing this critter for what he is may prove what we all know. they’re a protected species.
yeah, very surprised that sf censors posts.
my original comment didn’t. algorithm programming perhaps like other sites ? could be . certain names are taboo, especially political ((( them ))). 🪝👃= 🚧
anti semitism is a term used by legacy media and deep state. annon shows his true colours
thanks for giving us the jewish supremacist perspective. it’s so hard to come by in english language media.
it’s your opinion alright you juvenile hookie, and this insecure fixation you pissants have with supposed “anti-shemantism” is not cutting it these days, just like your precious 💞 holohoax.
where is the so called right to self-defence or also, there is an aggressor and a victim?
follow the history .who enslaved whom ?
at some point in history just about everyone has enslaved just about everyone else within their reach.
true. that’s something it’s really tough to get people to understand.
yet who owned the majority of slave ships?
you dumb orc bastads…syria no longer exists…heheheh
jans holm is the worst
narr, jens lightens up the forum with his silly sex posts, but he’s gone all quiet of late.
nope, he is a scab on the butt of humanity
he’s the forums version of the village idiot. but some trolls here are just idiots village or not.
russian orcs and iranian ayatollah goatfackers abandoned and betrayed their nazi criminal warlord named “assad”
incorrect, assad was in a russian military base that came under heavy and sustained drone attacks, evacuation was due on the 8th, damascus fell on the 7th
evacuation for assad rerouted to moscow
you do know usa is isis yeah?
took the jewish supremacists over fifty years to get the assads out of their way.
is this supposed to be a joke?
looks like one, though.
good voice and narration style in the video and of course good info.
what good is having these kinzal missiles if you don’t use them? and maybe they have a missile superiority over the west now, but if they don’t use them soon, the western technology may equal or even surpass them. if you have an advantage and don’t press it, you might lose the game.
oreshnik, not kinzal. plz keep up retard
i think the general idea is sufficient.
assad was in a russian military base close to der ezzoir. overseeing the defense of syria when the terrorists broke out of idlib.
the russian base came under heavy and sustained drone attacks and his evacuation was set for the 8th of december
damascus fell on the 7th
his evacuation was then rerouted to moscow who do the russians bomb now? there were 200-250k soldiers in the syrian army, terrorists in idlib have at most 25k, russia could have stopped them with just their airforce..
syria is gone, also usa empire and israel with turkey nato are going to form the new goverment of syria, you can cry, you can argue, complain, but might is right, first law, it’s a huge win for israel, but i think turkey is the next candidate for a coupdetat, not iran, everybody speaks iran is next, erdogan party and followers are next, then they are going to another head of the snake goverment in turkey also
erdogan is very smart, a clever politician and a great strategist, but erdogan don’t own turkey, turkey is owned by the westerners empire of the exceptionals, so erdogan is the next to go, after the exceptionals use erdogan to accomplish the stuff he made in syria. if you create coupdetats then you will receive coupdetat in exchange.
its nato. so its run by israel
syria will become a trap for israel
no headlines of iran attacking israel, if the attacks are on syrian land
200k+ saa soldiers stood down and took their weapons home with them
and those saa soldiers have spent over a decade fighting terrorist proxies, and were trained by soleimani
iran cannot be invaded. and they have so many missiles their main problem is creating storage room.
you mean, “israel tests the terrorists’ patience.”
what is the history of nations ??? they perish at the hands of fools !!! syrians are about to realize this
israel, turkey, united snakes – just vultures picking over the corpse of syria. the “hts” headchoppers are just controlled proxies serving zio/ neocon interests. and now we see all the white helmet fake atrocity stories parroted by cnn – another holohoax mark 2.
testing syrians patience? what syria? the syria whose army of 200,000 handed the nation over to 30,000 foreign backed terrorists? or the fake rebels who come from many outside nations who never fired a bullet at israel and never will. let’s be real. syria is destroyed. almost all of their heavy weapons were destroyed by the israelism while the fake rebels aided them and the actual syrians sat there and did nothing.
it is not “the new syrian government”, but the us, eu and turkey supported reactionary sunni-islamic terrorist group hts, that has come to power in syria. don´t be to pragmatic.
hts bunch of turkish dogs the moment they run out of money they ll go and war of clanz will restart. give it a few months. the most obvious is a un force will intervene to pacify the divided nation.
the syrian/russian alliance was protecting russian economic interests by preventing the west from running the qatar natural gas pipeline through syria and into turkey where it could connect to supply the eu because that would threaten to cut russia permenantly out of european energy markets so; 1) why did russia hand that economic victory to the west by withdrawing their defence of syria? 2) why are none of the commentaries discussing this?
