Temporary here basically means permanently temporary..Syria will get mt.hermon back when Assad returns😊😊

NATO needs wars to justify its existence. Remember, V.Putin applied to enter NATO and was REJECTED! NATO is a money laundering operation for the US industrial military complex.

I am also a Brit living in Israel and I for once behind Netanyahus plans No one in Israel or Jordan or Egypt wants a. Caliphate run by Isis El,-quiada sitting on their doorsteps !!

Lefty hates when Terrorist's get jacked up.

Go israel. the UN is not even a bad joke

Lol exactly as I said. Turkey is the only chance HTC has to drive the zionists back. But then turkey is also attacking the kurds which are allied with the US. What a mess. And it's all the result of the terrible mistake the UK & US made over 70 years ago. While Britain is coming around partly due to the pressure that europe exercises on them, the US is still unwilling to admit they massively blundered after WWII.

If the UK is impervious to Russian propaganda explain Brexit.

Isreal should recognize its borders equal to the reign of king Solomon.

So when russia, Iran and its sister Armenia keep their army and bases it's not occupation, when Turkey and USA keep bases in Syria, control oil and wheat, in North of Syria Turkish laws, language and money works, ruler are from Turkey but it is not occupation, but when Israel takes under control high positions but doesn't occupy settlements or destroys dangerous weaponry and protects Arabs from Kurds and Armenians then its occupation? How convenient and fair!

Who cares what the critics of Israel say. The days when Jews cared what armchair warriors said are long over. When faced with life and death decisions, the IDF will protect the citizens of the State of Israel. Critics can kiss my a-s!

I can’t stand the reading cadence. Sounds like a bit that just learned English. Bye.

Syria the new lebanon

Assad now, Putin next 😂😂😂

I can't help wondering if the UN were reasonable towards Israel over Gaza and Lebanon where they were clearly attacked and needed to take action, this action in Syria would not take place.

Debating about Israel securing critical buffer territory from a terrorist group that has declared it wants to march on its capital. Check. Ignoring Turkish buffer territory. Nothing. Two standards = dishonest commentry.

so appreciate your multifaceted 360 degree insights… simplistic reporting from mainstream media is useless!!

Would any other country not do what Israel is doing? Sorry if anyone is reading this from Mexico, but if the Mexican government got overthrown by the cartels or some other radical group, the USAF would be bombing every plane, ammo dump, ship, intel office, etc in Mexico on the first day.

I guess Netanyahu wants to be crowned Emperor Ben I of the Israel Empire.

Israal and Turkey grabbed Syria's land... Israal stole Syria's water... U.S.A stole Syria's oil... in the meantime, while people's attention has been conveniently turned to Syria by western media, Israal has completed the levelling of half of Gasa, and Chooish settlers are already moving in under the escort of the Israali military. So much for democracy and freedom... our countries are run by gangsters and mafias...

300 or 400 airstrikes ? Seems a gigantic amount? None the less, an excellent piece of analysis... informative and interesting and somewhat troubling .. thanks Pyotr

God almighty willing. Israel will be the leading state in the ME. Gods power prevail..

That's just the biggest breaking news in the region: "Israel may be conquering more territory - no, but this time it's for real for real!"

It seems to me the Israelis are striking Syrian military assets to avoid the situation that happened after the fall of Saddam Hussein when the armories of the Iraqi Army we're just spread to the streets before they could be secured.

The areas Israel went into is the DMZ which is null and void after Assad fell as well as Druze villages who have familial connections with the Druze in Israel’s Golan Heights. It is a small strip of land but super strategic which gives Israel a commanding view of Damascus and southern Lebanon. The Druze in the area are split in 3 different areas and are nervous about Jihadists taking over. It’s a win win. Buffer zone for Israel and protection for Druze.

All Libya has done is go downhill after Qaddafi’s murder. One more victim country in the Bush Clinton global mass murder s$&tshow. See the floods; anyone running the dams? No? Do they know how??! Austerity man sux

It's occupation, just like turkey, Israel is s gonna give it back just like Israel is gonna forfeit golan height's back

I don't understand why people defend israel's invasions of territories for "self-defense", feeling threatened doesn't give you right to just take land from a healing country after ousting a dictator

I think that you miss the point: most UN countries are opposed to a united state of israel. They are muslim. They have populus power. Words words words. What are the deeds? You need more on the ground data mate. this is all speculative high level stuff. What are the number of Jihadists? how many tanks, rockets ? Come on!

If people knew that for 20 years Syrians and other groups harassed the settlements of the Hula Valley until 1967, firing daily rockets and artillery down from the strategic Golan Heights, if you know that twice Syria tried to invade Israel from the Golan Heights and got humiliated, knowing that now Jihadists, Isis, as-Qaeda are on the loose in Syria and nobody has a clue of what's coming, then more than ever you would understand why the Golan Heights will be part of Israel for the foreseeable future. Look at all the countries around Israel, they have something in common besides Israel hate, they are all a complete mess, unruled or dictatorships, not a single Democracy, all dysfunctional for the last 1400 years.

Fof safety of israel, lebanon must be converted back to its original christian form.

Mount Hermon belongs to Israel now? deal with it .. Israel is cordinating with US / Turkey /Qatar / Saudi for Air Strikes. Arab States and Turkey are using the age old tactics of ..? Plausible Deniablity .

Bravo Israel

One more from me: No steps will be taken also against Erdogans behavior, because Turkey is a NATO member and any coutermeasures taken by the new Syrian government will trigger Artc. 5 🙃😝 Dont forget, Erdogan has also Imperialistic aspirations!🤫🤔🤨

Dynasty?

Israel defended itself against the Arab socialist military movement "Ba'ath" split off by the Assad family in 1966. The Syrian population is divided among many factions and put an end to this in 2024. For Israel, which has had the entire Arab world against it since 1948, the country has decided since October 7, 2023 to destroy the socialist military built up in Syria.

I think isreal has quite a clear understanding of what Syria is about to descend into and a peaceful thriving democracy is not high on the probable outcomes list.

Israel is taking advantage of the situation in Syria and escalating in order for Netanyahu to avoid being prosecuted for corruption

Why change the plan. Take every chance you got.

I only wish Israel would have done it while Asad still held those positions, stockpiles etc. It would have helped the good cause, breached ancient tribalism feuds, would have been neighborly, and been a respectable instead of a cowardly, thieving thing, while still being the same or better strategically. A matter of 2 or 3 days to be heroes instead of carion eaters doing the same thing. Israel is a state that exists only because of charity, then, for sure, her own effort, so it behooves her to behave with respectablility.

Israel + Syria = Syrael or Isria

when countries lose wars or collapse, they may lose some territory
