Since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime eight months ago, Israel has escalated its military operations in Syria, conducting 954 airstrikes and 421 ground incursions, while occupying approximately 200 square kilometers of territory. This significant increase in military activity highlights Israel's ongoing strategy to counter perceived threats from Iranian forces and Hezbollah in the region.
In stark contrast, the Syrian government has not retaliated with any attacks against Israel, focusing instead on diplomatic avenues, including filing four complaints with the United Nations Security Council. This lack of military response raises questions about the Assad regime's capacity and willingness to confront Israeli actions amid its ongoing internal challenges.
The situation has drawn international attention, particularly as Israel continues to target military installations linked to Iranian influence. Recent developments include strikes on key Syrian military bases near Damascus, contributing to rising tensions in an already volatile region.

As Israel maintains its aggressive posture, the potential for further escalation remains high. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, with many analysts predicting that Israel's operations could provoke a shift in Syrian military strategy or encourage a more robust response from allied nations.
