Following the fall of Bashar al -Assad and the capture of power by an alliance of Islamist armed organizations on December 8th, Israel’s Armed Forces have made hundreds of strikes against military targets in Syrian territory, almost all by air.

Following the fall of Bashar al -Assad, Israel sent units beyond the so -called demilitarized zone on the Golan Headquarters in southwestern Syria. And he proceeded with hundreds of air strikes against facilities of the previous regime, arguing that his purpose is to prevent Assad’s arsenal to fall into the hands of the new authorities, which the Benjamin Netanyahu government describes as “jihadists”.
At the end of February, Prime Minister Netanyahu demanded the “complete demilitarization of southern Syria”.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry accused Israel last night of “turning into the biggest threat to regional security” and “destabilizes” Syria “causing chaos and fueling terrorism”.
Turkish diplomacy has ruled that Israel should “abandon” its “expansive policies, withdraw from its territories and stop undermining efforts to restore stability to Syria.”
Israel has reportedly called on its main ally, the US to ensure that the Syrian state is weak.
