Yet this convo is still here.

People didn’t get the memo, they feel it’s Israel, or just people being people and not doing what they should

Assad’s regime falling is tied directly to this thread.

That's what I meant, they might feel like it either was caused by Israel, impacts Israel, or both. I personally prefer non-Israel related Syria regime change new be posted in the other thread.

You're the mod, move it there. Or, since this is an active thread anyways there is more traffic and posts here. In the other thread it will quickly fall asleep.

I'm trying to figure out why Israel felt the need to save UN peacekeepers in Syria.  (@CV, it's a joke).

There have been a few such flights where Israel suspected a flight of carrying supplies for Hezbollah and intercepted it with fighter jets forcing it to turn back.

IMO relevant to the title: Israel vs Iran and Proxies war discussion MASTER thread
Assad was at least cooperating with/turning a blind eye to Iran.
His regime was supported/propped up by Iran/Hizballah. Hizballah being weakened by by the recent fighting in Lebanon and the Israeli neutering of Irans capabilities likely contributed significantly to the rebel advances.
Depending on who exactly takes control in Syria could possibly lead to the Syrian route for Iranian supply to Lebanon being closed and the further weakening of the Iranian proxy ring of fire, or alternatively becoming a staging ground for increased threats to IL...

But if you still dont agree, I'll try to post further posts on the topic in the dedicated thread.

The IDF ain’t the Syrian army.

I dont have the same belief in the magical powers of the IDF.
(see here for another "conceptzia" to bite the dust https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/400383 )
I'm old enough to remember the IDF having a day just about as embarassing and disasterous as the Syrian army has had over the last couple of days.
But for the Yad Hashem, ST could have been 1000 times worse.
If Hamas would have not gotten distracted by easy prey near the border, If they would have prioritized getting to taking as many IDF/IAF bases as possible, If Hizballah would have joined in with a ground invasion on ST...
And its not like the defenses in the golan/galil are great against a lightening advance via jeeps/light APCs, and now these rebels have the weapons of the Syrian Armed forces too. (IL is now scrambling to reinforce the troops guarding the border...)

It’s already confirmed by Israeli sources. Great opportunity to establish facts on the ground under cover of the takeover of Syria by rebels. The IAF has also conducted extensive strikes in Syria, attacking strategic assets of the Syrian army, so they can’t fall into rebel’s hands and possibly by used against Israel in the future.

Including chemical weapon stockpiles.

Shame on the world if UNRWA is not defunded after this and Lazzarini and his pre predecessor are not jailed.
