Israeli Defense Forces Struck Syrian Territory 24 Times During This Year, But Failed To Shift Course Of Conflict

Illustrative image

During the year, Israel has reportedly conducted 24 strikes in Syria, with the latest one taking place on November 1. Chiefly claiming that it attacks only Hezbollah or Hezbollah-affiliated forces, Israel continues conducting strikes on objects in Syrian territories. In some cases Israel claims that it if was forced to retaliate to fire coming from the Syrian forces, which had targeted Israeli planes in Lebanese airspace or shelled the Israeli-occupied parts of the Golan Heights.

Israel shows increasing concern regarding the growing influence of Iran and Hezbollah in the region, and proved largely inefficient in influencing the conflict in the Middle East either by diplomatic or militarily means. Now that the war with ISIS in Syria is mostly a done deal, Tel-Aviv has two options: either to accept the new status quo and try to negotiate, or to try escalating the situation even further.

Israel’s hand may be forced sooner than later, with the Abu Kamal region nearly liberated, and thus granting Iran direct passage to Syria.

Here’s the list of strikes:

  • November 1. Lebanese media reported Israeli planes conducting a strike on locations in the countryside of Homs. Hezbollah ammunition manufacturing facility supposedly destroyed.

You can call me Al

The vermin should be held accountable for war crimes. I have no problem with Jews, I have a problem with the aggressive vermin in charge of the Zionists.

FlorianGeyer

The Zio rats in control of Israel are just having another ‘hissy fit’ as they see their dreams of Israeli expansion disappear into the burning sands of Syria.

Justin

A Kurdish state with US bases (that Israel can use) is not what I call “dreams burning”!

It aint over yet!

Joe

Terrorists supporter , thank God Iran and Hez is able to defeat Terrorists and Israel’s

Serious

It’s antisemitic to retaliate.

Daniel Rich

@ Serious,

Thanks for a good laugh. Appreciated.

Serious

The same way, if USA attack you and you retaliate, it’s because you are a dictator who hates the “free world” and who hates “democracy”.

Ace

Very good.

Joe Doe

Defining ISIS and HTS will not be the end of Syria war. SAA will have to fight Israel and get back the Golan Heights. Before SAA have any chance with IDF, Assad need obtain better military hardware. Specially obtain own Air Defense System such as S-400 and transport and attack helicopters and better Military jets such as MIG-29 and SU-30.

Serious

Assad had chemical weapons. But thanks to these stupid sunnis, Assad has no more chemical weapons.

Now, Sunnis think they will fight israel with guns. XD.

Joe Doe

This day’s nukes are better security protection, than chemical

Serious

Nukes can be intercepted. Chemical weapons are the way to go. Even if they are intercepted, chemical weapons still spread out.

That’s why they blackmailed Assad with chemical weapons ; in order to Syria destroy their chemical weapons. Just like they don’t want Iran to have nuclear nukes or even just nukes.

They like defendless countries so they can invade them.

Joe Doe

We can argue all day, but any nation who has nuke no one is willing touch such nation. Nuke are better deterrent for any attack

Serious

Just nukes is not enough. You need intercontinental nuclear nukes or chemical nukes.

Joe Doe

Nukes are the whole set

Bob

Interestingly, Israel’s nuclear weapons are in essence useless against Hezbollah – their greatest immediate threat. This for two reasons, firstly Hezbollah are a political party and militia not a state, and secondly detonating a modern nuclear device in southern Lebanon would be catastrophic for Israel itself – dusting Israel with radioactive material and literally poisoning their own well.

FlorianGeyer

Be patient. ‘Wars are not won in a day’ even if Hollywood portrays it that way.

Joe Doe

My comments are advice looking for the future. Assad and SAA will need training and get experience with new weapons and tactics and now is the time. If Assad will obtain such weapons

@Inc2Get

HAHahaha well yes Assad needs better equipment but not to defeat Israel. There is one thing Israel fears and that is Iran/hezbollah/PMU. Especially hezbollah. Do you know why? Because they use guerilla tactics in war and fights hard. After the Syrian war is over, Assad can easily tell hezbollah to guard Syrian border against Israel and if any strikes or assaults occur from the latter, hezbollah can retaliate and when hezbollah launches offensives, they rarely fail. I mean take a look at Syria. When Russia joined in, progress wasn’t made fast enough. Actually it took several months for the SAA to begin making gains. But then hezbollah joined the war and everything shifted. They fight bravely and whole hearted. That’s very important in war.

Joe Doe

As a nation leader, you can’t fight guerrilla war. Fight this way you don’t server your nation and own people. You need strong army to protect your nation and own people.

Solomon Krupacek

assad needs mainly 250 000 soldiers.

John Whitehot

if the Syrian Army had 250.000 men it would probably be able to pacify the entire Middle East.

Solomon Krupacek

dont dream. but would be enough to defend the land

Solomon Krupacek

btw. former had 180-220 000

Real Anti-Racist Action

The whole world democratically wants Russia to shoot down these attacking F-35 planes! Plus it will show the world that the F-35 is not invincible as Jew’s claim it is.

Cloak And Dagger

Israeli “Defense” Forces. There’s an oxymoron for the morons!

Alan Chen

Deir Ez Zoir liberated. Isis Rats dying CIA trolls crying ;)

Thegr8rambino

alejoeisabel
