Israel bombed Syria right after the ceasefire with Iran! On July 16, according to AFP, after the ceasefire with Iran, Israel suddenly bombed Syria. The headquarters of the General Staff in Damascus and another target near the presidential palace became the targets of Israeli bombing. After the bombing, Israeli Defense Minister Katz warned that the Israeli army would start a large-scale attack on Syria. The signal sent to Damascus has ended - now comes the heavy strike.

According to Syrian statistics, this attack caused nine people to be injured. Why did Israel suddenly attack Syria? The cause of the incident is as follows: After the fall of the Assad regime, the fires of war have not subsided in Syria. Recently, conflicts have been ongoing in the southern Suweida province of Syria, and this conflict area is where the Druze minority live. Originally, the Syrian government was negotiating with the Druze, but the Druze wanted to maintain a certain degree of autonomy, and the two sides failed to reach an agreement, leading to a violent clash.

As of now, the violent conflict has resulted in dozens of deaths, and the fighting continues. Obviously, the Syrian government's intention is that since they can't reach an agreement, they will first use military force to solve the problem. In principle, this matter has nothing to do with Israel. But why did Israel get involved? The fundamental reason is that the Druze mainly live in Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and the Golan Heights controlled by Israel, and they have a deep historical and cultural connection with the Druze community within Israel.

Therefore, Israel obviously wants to further penetrate into Syria through this relationship and expand its sphere of influence. Because the Druze are not on good terms with the current Syrian government, if the Druze retain their autonomy, it will undoubtedly benefit the expansion of Israel's influence. It is clear that Israel's sudden bombing of Syria shows that Israel is not holding back in expanding its influence in the Middle East. The turmoil in Syria is likely to continue.
