Escalating Tensions: Israel's Recent Airstrikes on Syria

The recent Israeli airstrikes on Masyaf, located in the Hama countryside of central Syria, have raised significant concerns and questions among social media users and analysts alike. Following the launch of 15 raids, which resulted in the deaths of 14 individuals and injuries to 43, many are questioning the effectiveness of Syria's military response to ongoing Israeli aggression. This attack is being described as one of the largest in years, occurring just hours after Israeli officials hinted at a shift in tactics on the northern front of occupied Palestine.

A Divided Response: Gaza vs. Syria

The contrast between the resistance in Gaza and the Syrian government's response to Israeli strikes has become a focal point of discussion. While Gaza has been actively resisting Israeli incursions for nearly a year, the Syrian regime has faced criticism for its lack of retaliation. Social media users have pointed out that since 2017, Israel has conducted over 500 airstrikes on Syria, which has traditionally been one of its quieter fronts. Many are questioning why the Syrian leadership has opted for restraint rather than retaliation, with some suggesting this might be a strategic choice to avoid further escalation.

The Implications of Israeli Aggression

Experts note that Israeli airstrikes are often aimed at military infrastructure associated with Iran and its allies within Syria. Despite repeated promises from the Syrian government to respond to these violations, there has been little to no action taken. This ongoing situation raises concerns about the stability of the region and the effectiveness of Syria's defense systems. As the Israeli military continues its operations, the question remains: how long can the Syrian government maintain its stance of non-response, and what might provoke a change in strategy?
