Why Israel is getting involved in Syria's internal fighting
Wednesday, 16 July 2025 Israel has shown little respect for international borders since becoming the unrivalled military hegemon of the Middle East. Today that meant an Israeli airstrike on a government building in Damascus.
Israel and Syria have reportedly agreed to a ceasefire after days of violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin communities in Syria’s southern Sweida province. Over 300 have died. The violence spiraled when Israel launched airstrikes on Damascus, claiming it was acting to protect the Druze...
The war in West Asia has entered a chilling new phase. Mohammad al-Bukhaiti, senior leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, declared that Israel will “pay the price” for its aggression, following the martyrdom of Yemen’s Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi and several ministers in a deadly strike. Speaking to Al Mayadeen, al-Bukhaiti emphasized that retaliation is inevitable, stressing, “Our actions will precede our words.” He reaffirmed that the liberation of Palestine remains Yemen’s foremost cause and vowed continued support for Gaza despite the heavy sacrifices. The Ansar Allah Political Bureau also issued a statement mourning fallen Yemeni leaders and warning Tel Aviv of looming consequences. Yemen’s message is clear: its strikes have already punished the US and Britain, and now Israel will face similar retribution. With tensions rising, the region braces for what Ansar Allah promises will be dark days for Israel.

The Israeli Defense Forces claim to have killed Abu Obeida, the masked spokesman of Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades, in a Gaza strike on August 30th. Long considered the “hidden face” of Hamas, Obeida has been a symbol of resistance since 2006, when he rose to prominence after the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. His identity was never revealed publicly until IDF released an estimated image. Palestinians viewed him as a hero, while Israel marked him as a top target. His death, if confirmed, marks a major blow to Hamas.

Israel claims a major breakthrough in its war against Hamas, announcing that IDF forces likely killed Abu Obeida, the long-time masked spokesman of the group. Considered Hamas’ most symbolic figure after Sinwar, Obeida’s death would mark one of the heaviest blows to the organization. The strike follows Israel’s killing of Yemen’s Houthi PM earlier this week, signaling an intensified campaign across the region. While Gaza reports 11 casualties in the raid, Israeli officials remain cautiously optimistic, calling this a turning point in the fight against Hamas.

A New York Times report reveals how Israel tracked and assassinated top Iranian leaders during the June 2025 war by hacking into the phones of bodyguards and drivers. While senior officials avoided carrying devices, their security teams used phones — even posting on social media — which allowed Israeli intelligence to pinpoint targets. Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, was among the first killed when Israel struck his emergency war meeting. Iran later ordered guards to use only walkie-talkies, but lapses enabled further targeting attempts. Israeli officials admitted the plan was to “decapitate Iran’s leadership” in the opening strike before Tehran could mount a response. The 12-day conflict saw Israel hitting Iranian commanders, nuclear scientists, and missile sites, aiming to Cripple Tehran’s ability to wage war. The revelations expose Iran’s security vulnerabilities and Israel’s reliance on cyber-sabotage and surprise strikes in modern warfare.

Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa has issued a stark warning to Israel, accusing it of fueling unrest in Suweida and threatening that further intervention could spark a new regional war. Sharaa declared Syria’s battle is to unify the country, not divide it, while condemning Israeli strikes in Damascus and southern Syria. The violence, rooted in Druze-Bedouin clashes, has escalated into protests and accusations of sectarian manipulation. As Damascus faces criticism over abuses, Sharaa pledged accountability but vowed to resist Israeli interference at all costs.

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel.

In a shocking turn of events, Israel has launched one of its biggest and most daring strikes on Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, killing Houthi Prime Minister. The attack marks a staggering escalation in the Israel-Houthi conflict, as Israeli fighter jets targeted key Houthi leadership inside the heart of Sana’a. Houthi PM’s assassination not only sends shockwaves through Yemen but also rattles the balance of power across the Middle East. The Houthis, already engaged in a fierce standoff with Israel, have vowed retaliation after what they call a “cowardly act of aggression.” Analysts believe this move could trigger an unprecedented regional backlash, dragging Iran and other actors further into the conflict. With growing tensions in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, this development raises questions: Has Israel made its biggest mistake yet? Or is this a strategic masterstroke? The fallout could redefine the Middle East battlefield.

Israeli forces launched multiple ground incursions into Syria’s southwestern Quneitra province, setting up checkpoints, searching residents, and deploying tanks before withdrawing hours later. According to Syrian state media, IDF convoys entered several towns, breaching the 1974 ceasefire agreement that established a buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights. Damascus and its allies accuse Israel of exploiting Syria’s instability for territorial gains. The United Nations has condemned repeated Israeli violations, warning they risk escalating regional tensions and destabilizing the volatile Syria–Israel border.

Turkey has officially entered the Syrian civil war after Damascus requested assistance to combat terror groups and stabilize the south. Ankara will provide military training, consultancy, and armoured vehicles to support Syrian forces. This comes amid escalating Druze-Bedouin violence in Sweida and Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian military assets. Turkey’s move, framed as a push for regional stability, heightens fears of a broader confrontation with Israel.
