A series of Israeli military operations in Syria’s southern border region over recent days may reveal a larger strategic picture, especially following the fall of the Assad regime, the Iranian and Hezbollah retreat, and the rise of the new Julani-led government.

Key incidents:

Over two weeks ago, an Israeli armored unit raided a house near Beit Jann in the Quneitra region and arrested Hamas operatives plotting attacks against Israel under Iranian sponsorship. They were brought to Israel for interrogation.
