Israel Invades Syria
December 10th, 2024Via: Al Jazeera:
Israel has “seized” territory in Syrian-controlled areas of the Golan Heights, as its military warned Syrians living in five villages close to the Israeli-occupied portion of the strategic area to “stay home”.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he ordered Israeli forces to grab a buffer zone in the Golan Heights established by a 1974 ceasefire agreement with Syria, after a lightning advance by Syrian opposition forces ended Bashar al-Assad’s rule.
Netanyahu said on Sunday that the decades-old agreement had collapsed and that Syrian soldiers had abandoned their positions, necessitating the Israeli takeover.
“We will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on our border,” he said.
Israel captured a portion of the Golan Heights in the 1967 war and annexed it. The international community, except for the United States, views it as illegally occupied Syrian territory.

Meanwhile, Israeli media said on Sunday that the Israeli air force has bombed weapons depots in southern Syria and Damascus to prevent opposition groups from seizing them.
“We attacked ammunition depots in southern Syria and in the Damascus airport area for fears they might fall into the hands of armed groups and local factions,” the Israeli public broadcaster KAN quoted an unnamed Israeli security official as saying.
“Israel is working to thwart any potential threats and prevent any damage to its air superiority in Syria,” the official added.
Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth said weapons depots and surface-to-surface missile stockpiles were the targets of Israeli attacks in Syria, without providing further details.
“We will not allow a hostile force to establish itself on our border.”
Was Assad a friendly force, or at least a tolerable one? If so, it would have been simpler to help him defeat the hostile force taking over his country. Instead, Israel let the hostile force seize it, and now is chasing them out of the nearest part and seizing it for itself. How far will that go?
I’ve seen the maps that have been all over the internet. Israel’s border seems to have only temporary limits and will never willingly shrink itself back to the much smaller territory it was originally given by international agreement.

Dale, is US action in the ME not unlike a harsher version of what the govt does to us? Sanctions = rapid inflation, businesses closed and store shelves empty. No jobs for civilian men = closed businesses and Affirmative Action and DEI jobs closed to whites. Geoengineering, including country-wide chemical dumps from the skies and DEW, kills some slowly but others all at once and violently. And so on.
Even though the soundtrack on this video got scratchy and sometimes jumped ahead when crucial details were spoken of, I could often figure out the gist of what the Senator was saying. It was all bad.
Thank God for the courageous truth-tellers who risk death for their patriotism.
That’s one hell of an overview of Syria during the last 15 years by (former State) Senator Black.
The latest episode of George Galloway’s MOATS focused exclusively on Syria. At minute 26, Syrian journalist Richard Medhurst on the current dynamics in the region, and at Hr 2:04:00, the final caller into the show had some very concise comments:
