News outlets reporting that Israel is taking Syrian ground and exploiting the toppling of Assad’s regime
The UN’s special envoy to Syria, Geir Pedersen, has cautioned Israel that its airstrikes and ground invasion into Syrian territory need to stop, and said its actions are in violation of the 1974 agreement between Israel and Syria.
Israel has claimed it is taking “limited and temporary measures” to ensure its security. Troops have entered Syria from the area of the Golan Heights, which Israel seized from Syria in 1967 and unilaterally annexed in 1981. |

"Does anyone live in this area? If so, I expect they'll be celebrating. Women will get equal rights and gay people won't be persecuted or murdered horribly for just being who they are. Happy days."
Exactly. Israeli rule will be a liberation for most. |

Here's another occupation in Syria that, for some reason, doesn't have anyone clutching their pearls:

That is true… I had the Turkish government using this as an excuse for doing the land grab… but not Isreal.. Isreal are basically yet again breaking un resolutions so why should we be surprised
Because basically taking out what the Syrian call a “navy” is all in self defence 1st action.. right? |

It will be interesting to see whether Israel keep to their word, that they are not annexing land and do not want to get involved with Syria's internal issues.
Bombing military targets before they get into terrorist hands makes sense. Temporarily incursions to keep a burger secure, perhaps. It will be disappointing if they use this to actually claim any parts of Syria beyond the Golan.
Unless (doubtful) a large group of people ask to come under their protection, e.g. Christians, Druze and Kurds in the immediate border area. But that's a big if, and would be quite contentious. And the Kurds are nowhere near there. |

just watched the ch4 news interviewing Israeli minister and when the question was asked why have you bombed the Syrian navy the answer was basically we won't wait to see what happens in the future. |

Smart thinking, given all the HTS/rebel footage where they're saying "Israel and Jews are next". Similar thinking to the British in WW2, where we bombed the French navy in port, to deny its resources to the Germans.
