Israel continues to escalate against Syria, as the two sides move further away from a security agreement, and closer towards a conflict.
December 9 witnessed another episode of escalation, with Israeli troops storming the town of Khan Arnabeh in the southern governorate of Quneitra and clashing with the locals.
The troops set up checkpoints all around Khan Arnabeh, restricting the movement from and to the town. When a group of locals gathered near one of the checkpoints to protest, the Israelis opened fire. Syrian state TV said that three people were wounded as a result. Later, the Israeli military said that troops opened fire at “suspects”.
Earlier on the same day, Amichai Chikli, Israel’s minister of diaspora and combating antisemitism, said that war with Syria was “inevitable.” He was commenting on a video showing Syrian troops chanting for the Gaza Strip while marching in Damascus a day earlier to celebrate the first anniversary of the fall of the Assad regime.
In a separate incident from December 9, a salvo of three rockets targeted Mezzeh Air Base right next to Damascus, where United States troops could soon be deployed to oversee any security agreement between Syria and Israel.
An agreement seems unlikely, however. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on December 10 that the two sides are today further from reaching a security agreement than before, after Damascus “raised new demands.”
The demands Sa’ar referred to are likely a complete Israeli withdrawal from the territories occupied in southern Syria after the fall of the Assad regime last year.
Israel has so far refused to withdraw or to stop operations there. On December 10, its troops arrested two people in separate raids, one from the town of al-Aridah in the governorate of Daraa, and another from the town of al-Mashida in Quneitra.
Despite the escalation with Israel, Syria continues to develop its ties with the U.S. Later on December 10, the House of Representatives voted forward a bill that would end the restrictive Caesar Act sanctions on the country that was originally imposed during the rule of the Assad regime.
The latest Israeli escalation against Syria may be in fact a direct result of growing relations between Damascus and Washington.
Israel likely views a U.S. partnership with Syria as a threat to its military’s freedom of action in the Middle East. A security agreement with Damascus would allow Washington to invest even more in the relations with the war-torn country, thus Israel will not likely move forward with such an agreement now. Israel may, however, attempt to instigate some crisis between Washington and Damascus.

israel não sabe o que fazer
its king chatles kingdom his mummies before him stop pretending not to know. it makes you obvious.
luring america into the fold. baiting her in venezuala by provocations, and diversifying her military into the middle east, leaving russia isolated. pretty obvious. and spreading dissent and lawfare for civil warfare like manure through trumps administration and americas communities. in my opinion.
now using vebezuala to entrap both america and russia they can weaken and divide both republics. that will utterly exhaust russia if they’re stupid enough to buy into it.
if the oligarchy takes out venezuela it will be very bad for many many countries including russia because the rogue mafias will take all for themselves and burn all the oil in wars to crush everyone on the planet killing many civilians as usual. if independent venezuela survives its resources will serve many more purposes including helping its own population and people all over the world because contrarily to the abusive bully, venezuela trades fairly.
usa kicked russia’s azz out of syria…heheheh
ho ho ho ho it’s off to vork ve go heil ceaser. eat drink and be gay for tommorowss another day
the russian bases are still present the units are just withdrawn to them. so what you say didnt happen. the assad regime just collapsed and israel destroyed its abandoned military inventories.
alot of abandoned equipment was bombed. syria is currently a weak country because of the jihadist coup. the jihadists gave israel a free pass by attacking syrian armt anti air units to disarm and weaken syria.
peter jennings again rod ramses clyde cromwell the narrative etcetera
trying to elicit a response from intelligent commentary from the past are you ?
forget it murdering rat. they’re not interested.
imbecil você, eua fez um acordo com a rússia, a ucrânia no lugar da síria.
and now amerikunts and jooz are getting offed instead. heheheheheheheh
israeli troops firing on civilians? no, that can’t be.
sure. we both know they enjoy doing that even their so called reputable representatives brag about it on twitter. its important to understand what kind of evil demons they are and deal with them as such.
dirt is as dirt says
that’s when they’re not thieving women’s underwear and changing their diapers.
israel will continue to attack syria they want to steal the land everything south of damascus initially using the druze and later damascus its self latakia aleppo everything upto the euphrates. all syrians will loose if they let this happen or aid the jews in to making this happen.
syria was in a much better position under the former assad regime the military was still capable at repelling israel and had strategic weapons which could inflict enough damage on the israelis to stop them from doing so. the current regime has none of that and is very weak. it dousnt have any weapons to repel israel let alone restore order their units are a band of rag tag jihadists who rather bully and punish the population at random then fight off the zionists who are stealing syrian land
there goes ramses circumcised python toilet paper clyde cromwell peter jennings rod and crew all in it together to spread the nazi story line.
ramsés, a píton circuncidade etc sao gays
what are you on?
he ain’t humping any inbred, thats for sure.
he/she is principled ; a trait that will always evade your crowd.
eliminate the arab quislings and the jooz and their amerikunt whores can be dealt with in short order.
sooo fucking right!
they stole the music from morrowind
a few years ago the fbi proved mossad got control of all washington dc cameras. so nothing happened but the story disappeared instantly. greater israel has not limits. syria is now only fodder to be used for the zionist mafia project. any past and future agreements are for hasbara press release. to be discarded when convenient
stop telling bs propagandas like a trollope everyone knows israel is king charles kingdom fact. and that england’s secret services control mossad and the cia really. allegedly which obviously they must since it is charles dominion and you with your varieties know it too but your refusal to admit it proves your not honest at all. as does your blatant propgandas for the nazion a lists.
thank you snd your hasbara troll farm for noticing my comment. the camera story is true
they did the same with all cctv cameras in london. that way they can do a 9/11 with all cameras switched off.
here’s a clue. the yang lanlan cover up power bloodline and a quiet extraction.
leis looking glass
you tube.
she driving one of “her” new rolls smashed head on into a top radio dj kyle dandiglands limousine almost killing his chauffer on a one way street, with no other traffic head on with zero attempt to avoid the collision by the looks of the scene.
remember the last empress disappeared, the dauphine of france too, the romanov family remains dna “tests” were technically totally suspect, and assureldy inconclusive, and many blood line family members just “faded” out of the public eye.
every america president from washington on is descended from margaret, henry the 8th older sister. everyone. that’s reality. it’s not coincidence.
i’m not certain about trump though although he is scots so…. but then so am i on my maternal side.
now here’s the real business of the ww3 revival.
“trump signs executive order to block state at ai laws ;there will only be one winner ”
hindustan times.
henry viii’s dear old dad wasn’t a jew ape, as depicted in modern western media.
he was a human !
america’s monetary support of radical zionism has enabled israeli aggression throughout the region as well as the demise of freedom in the usa itself. lt is time for new american partners in the mid-east who are not parasites. israel has become a failed state as could have been predicted from its beginning.
israel is getting its nose pushed out. hehehe
not sure. usil likes to play ‘good cop bad cop’ even if in their case it’s rather ‘pretend friendly mafia and reckless rabid rogue’. one recent case is the so called deal by us for iran just to have iran lower its guard for il to attack. not that i like watching the globe getting suffocated by the hasbara boa all around it, like a nose that grew bigger with every lie like bibinocchio’s.
a nova guerra na síria:
turquia e governo sírio x curdos
alauítas x governo sírio
israel e drusos x governo sírio
portanto serão 3 guerras dentro da síria com estes atores uns contra os outros.
the problem with the inevitable it what’s real inevitable. m;y inevitable it’s a judah autonomic state in a palestinian fedetration.
i hope that all israenlians will not to be move to antarctida.
the sky is blue, water is wet, and jooz lie, cheat, steal, swindle, pimp and murder.
