At dawn today, Sunday, August 13, Israel attacked positions of Iranian regime forces and militias in the "Al-Saboura" area, in the Damar project and in the Qudsayya suburb in the vicinity of the capital Damascus.
Despite the ambiguity surrounding these Israeli attacks, and the silence of the loyal, official and secondary media alike, there is a new message that Israel is sending to the Iranian regime in Syria.
LETTERS OF FIRE
Recently it can be noticed that Israeli airstrikes have significantly increased on sites belonging to groups and militias loyal to Tehran in and around Damascus.
This means that Israel is sending a "warm message" to the Iranian regime, in which it confirms its intention to continue to prevent Iran's military establishment in Syrian territories, and analysts believe that the messages are clear, since Israel does not wish to temporarily transfer the war to Iranian soil, but in return is determined to continue attacking Any military presence and affiliates in Syria.
Israel claims that the Iranian regime and its loyal militias are "sworn enemies", therefore it will do its best to "ensure the preservation of its military superiority" in the region.
The director general of the "Military Analysis Institute of the Near East and the Gulf", Riyad Khahoji, confirms that Israel does not want to allow Iran to gain any foothold with significant forces in Syria.
BATTLE SCENE
In a statement by Fabrice Blanche, a researcher specializing in Syrian geography, to the French news agency, he explains that "the attacks against Iranian bases and the Lebanese Hezbollah in Syria" confirms Israel's "unwillingness to respond inside Lebanon, for fear of any escalation on this side of its borders." This is how Israel defined the "battlefield" and it has a renewed target bank according to the data and logistical indicators it receives.
REASONS FOR ESCALATION
Following the Israeli statements, and after the reports in the Hebrew press, Israel repeatedly confirms that it continues to confront what it describes as "Iran's attempts to establish its military presence in Syria".
This opinion is supported by what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last April, when he said: "We are forcing regimes that support terrorism outside Israel's borders to pay a heavy price."
