Israel Bombarda Damascus: what is happening in Syria, the real reasons for the raid

Wednesday Israel bombed Syria, hit even buildings from the Ministry of Defense In Damascus, and immediately after the government he withdrawn the soldiers from the city of Suwaida to avoid a total war.

For days there have been suwid clashes between the druseswhich are a very closed and autonomous Islamic minority, and the Bedouin tribes: at least 169 deaths. The Damascus government intervened to stem violence. Drusi, one million people in total, live almost only in Syria, largely in the heights of the Golan which are a very delicate area, occupied by Israel after the 1967 war. The driuses are therefore under the protection of Israel.

The Bashar al Assad regime, however bloody, managed to keep all the minorities that made up Syria for decades, in a precarious balance based on repression. After the sudden fall, December 8, 2024, Sunnis are in power, and all strength relationships begin to be questionedwith the inevitable tensions and violence that this entails.

The attack of Israel to Syria, however, must be read on three floors: the internal one, that of the relationship with the United States, and the regional one.

On an internal level, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirms that he needs a permanent war that is no longer motivated only by his desire to remain in power and escape the processes for corruption, but also from need to avoid talking about Gaza.

Whenever attention returns to the massacre in the strip, the Netanyahu government goes under stress and the sense of Israel is questioned. A series of revelations in recent days has confirmed that Gaza’s most radical plans from Palestinians were so concrete That one of the main consultancy companies in the world was working on us, BCG, Boston Consulting Group, in collaboration with the Tony Blair Institute, to give a patina of global presentability to the deportation of the survivors.

Without news on new wars, the global media are filled with stories on the tragedy of Gaza where a war crime seems to be consumed per day: the management of aid removed from international agencies and entrusted to the controversy Gaza Humanitarian Foundation it does not work, The Israeli army continues to shoot on people who go to collect food and water, the other day he killed six children.

The bombs in Syria move the fire of attention. As for the relationship with the United States, Netanyahu in Iran has redefined relations: brought Donald Trump to a war that the President of the United States did not want to start. The Israeli premier actually forced the White House to bomb the Iranian nuclear sites in the “12 -day war” against the opinion of the same American intelligence that did not believe in the imminent atomic threat of Tehran.

A proof of influence which, however, also certifies The role of Israel as a second level power, which exists and resists thanks to Americato its superior weapons, to its deterrence ability. So here are the bombings to that Syria that Trump is trying to stabilize, legitimizing the government of the former jihadist Ahmed Al-Shaara. The United States took the sanctions and readmitted Syria among the respectable countries.

Now Israel Bombarda Damascus hits the Ministry of Defense to give support to the Drusa ally of Israel, but the point is to clarify that Israel can only accept weak, submissive governments, defeated in the region.

With Iran hostilities are only suspended, but the goal of overturning the Ayatollah regime remains; Houthi pirates in Yemen are an urgent target again, because they affect commercial ships (despite the theoretical respite announced by Washington); Egypt is a problem because it does not want to absorb the Palestinians of Gaza; Lebanon can only exist as harmless vassal, once beheaded Hezbollah.

This policy of Netanyahu, who tries to build a bearing failed around Israelis the opposite of that of the Trump administration that would like to normalize diplomatic relations and reconstruct business opportunities for American companies.

Once again, with the attack on Damascus, Netanyahu has shown that When the needs of the United States and those of Israel diverge, they are those of Israel to prevail.
