Israeli troops have come under attack in southern Syria for the first time since they invaded the buffer zone adjacent to the occupied Golan Heights following the collapse of the Assad regime.
In a statement, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that troops were targeted in the buffer zone late on January 31 and returned fire toward the source of the shooting. There were no Israeli injuries, according to the military.
Daraa 24, a news blog that covers southern Syria, reported that a force of the IDF stormed the town of Turnejeh in the al-Quneitra countryside and arrested two young men. It is still unclear however if the move was related to the attack on Israeli troops.
On February 1 morning, the “Syrian Resistance,” a group affiliated with the former regime in Syria, claimed responsibility for the incident, according to the Lebanese Al-Akhbar news outlet which is close to Hezbollah.
The group announced that it “has begun its operations against the Israeli enemy alongside operations against al-Julani’s terrorist gangs,” using the nom de guerre of Syria’s transnational president Ahmed al-Sharaa who led the offensive that overthrew Bashar al-Assad.
The group also said that “the Syrian Resistance will not allow Israel to occupy our land. We will ambush it and al-Julani’s gangs with precise ambushes and surprise attacks.”
The IDF invaded southern Syria just hours after the fall of the Assad regime on December 8, occupying most of the buffer zone including the summit strategic Mount Hermon. For the next few days, it launched hundreds of strikes targeting the bases and equipment of the now dissolved Syrian Arab Army.
Syria’s transnational government condemned Israel’s actions and called on the country to respect the United Nations-observed 1974 separation of forces agreement.
It is highly unlikely that the attack on the IDF was carried out by the new Syrian military. At the same time, the so-called Syrian Resistance appears to be more of a propaganda stunt as there is nothing proving that the group actually exists. The poorly planned attack may have been carried out by locals fed up with the Israeli occupation of their farms. The lack of a strong reaction by the IDF suggests that this was the case.

this is how the 1982-2000 south lebanon insurgency started. zionist forces terrorising local people, stealing from them, robbing them at checkpoints, molesting women, abducting, torturing and murdering people, who become radicalised and carry out revenge attacks. shlomo used to have a peaceful northern border – no longer.
yes jews enjoy doing all of that they are true demons. they have no empathy whatsoever they enjoy torturing and molesting children graping women. they only stop doing that when someone else is stronger then them and makes them stop at which point they cry out in pain how they are the boeeh hooe holo victim. its time that people see what jews are mask off. they are evil and need to be dealt with as such
their favourite party piece is breaking into people’s homes, srealing and defecating over the furniture. “dirty jews” used to be an anti semitic slur.
awewome!!!+++
buffer zone is a synonym for israel’s expansion. israel gains usa funding by constantly creating conflicts even paying terrorists to then play the victim validating it’s endless agression
yes jews enjoy stealing land and other peoples property. they are parasites and never produce anything of value just manipulate others into doing their dirty work.
everybody bloodthirsty part against the jews and the jewish problem will be gone forever. whatever spoils they have amassed returned to mankind sans the jews!
they’ve been physically kicked out of 109 countries over the centuries. my friend, that’s a lot of hard assets left behind, to be sure. count on it. what they couldn’t take with them . . . . they remember it all too 😂 . it’s always payback with the chosen ones, pounds of flesh, and all that.
without assad’s weakness, iran’s hands are untied for it to use the strategies it used in iraq, lebanon and yemen to support true resistance movements. the effeminate puppet appointed by the west in demascus is being exposed as a loser
sure it will work very well for iran now that they have to struggle to give their own people electricity and turkey and azerbeydshan are working on connecting their countries so nato and isreal can reach the caspian. isreali planes will soon be able to launch attacks on iran from azeri territory and sabotabe the iranian/ russian trade over the caspian. continue to cope the resistance axis is dead and iran is alone.
actually the opposite, iran factions are asking u.s. to remain in iraq and protect the shia majority against sunni resurgent terrorism. it’s all a balancing act who can play the most rational game and who loses their minds first. hamas lost their mind and were destroyed.
they don’t look destroyed to me. they look very much in business and in control. they clearly won the ground battle in gaza. despite the genocide, none of the settlers are coming back and kushner won’t be building those beachside condos for rich jews any time soon. the ben gurion canal isn’t being built and those gas fields aren’t being stolen. our zio friends have achieved nothing except murdering a lot of people – like the nazis before them.
well the nazis were hanged for it they wont. look at turkey they got away with killing people they wanted gone as well and are now an accepted part of the international community. so i guess you can say it pays of to some.
time for lots of oreshnik strikes on keiv and satans chosen ones.
