On July 21 local time, drones captured images of the wreckage of the Syrian Armed Forces General Staff Building, which was destroyed by the Israeli Air Force in Damascus, the capital of Syria. At the same time, on the 20th, Israeli Air Force fighters continued to fly over the southern airspace of Syria, conducting bombing and low-altitude flights to warn a few Bedouin militias and Arab armed militias who refused to evacuate. Although a ceasefire was nominally reached, a large number of Arab tribal militias who refused to evacuate were still active in the suburbs of Suwayda City, accompanied by sporadic conflicts. According to the Syrian side, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu misled the "President" of Syria, Jolani, because Jolani had secretly informed the Israeli authorities that he would send troops into southern Syria, but the Israeli authorities did not respond. Jolani thought the Israelis tacitly approved, but he did not expect or underestimated the determination of the Israeli authorities to act. As a result, the new Syrian army, HTS forces, and foreign mercenaries suffered a massive aerial bombing by the Israeli Air Force, leading to a catastrophic loss, and ultimately abandoned their occupation of Suwayda City. The attitude of the United States is also crucial for Syria. On the 20th, U.S. Special Envoy for Syria Tom Bakkh called for all armed factions within Syria to immediately lay down their arms, clearly warning Jolani and the HTS forces to cease fire.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu should be prosecuted for war crimes, but many countries dare not offend Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, as they know that Netanyahu is currently the most moderate person within Israel. If he is arrested or killed now, the next person may be more extreme, which would be detrimental to Arab countries. As long as Israel exists, wars in the Middle East will never stop, and there will be no peace. Of course, regardless of whether Israel exists or not, wars in the Middle East will never stop, and there will be no peace. Even without an external force like Israel, another Israel would be created artificially.
The current stage of the war in Israel has frequently allowed it to strike Russia and Iran without retaliation. Syria dares not retaliate, and Lebanon's retaliation is too weak. The only one that dares to fight is the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who have even made the United States hesitate to fight. The Israeli Defense Forces and Palestine can only engage in tunnel warfare in Gaza, and are unable to win ground combat. Bombing with artillery shells causes humanitarian crises. The Israeli Defense Forces have been fighting for more than two years, and the biggest achievement is seizing a piece of land in Syria. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is always restless, constantly creating trouble, which is a strategy to avoid trial. Netanyahu was supposed to go to prison earlier, so he has been looking for fights, creating chaos, and when things calm down, he will be cleaned up. There are too many people and forces in Israel who want to take him down. Netanyahu needs Israel to remain in a state of war to avoid investigation. After all, the surrounding countries are only a few that can fight, and he attacks them one by one. Therefore, Netanyahu will not stop until Israel is bombed to the point of a coup. This has nothing to do with Israel being threatened; it's simply that Netanyahu doesn't want to go to prison.
