Three Syrian soldiers killed in Israeli drone attack!
On Tuesday, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs published a sharp conviction of the Israeli attacks on Syrian territory in which three Syrian soldiers were killed. These drone attacks are part of a persistent conflict that has existed since Israel was founded in 1948. Even if official talks on the de -escalation between Syria and Israel are underway, the news agency reported Small newspaper that there is no statement from the Israeli side at the hour.
The UN is under pressure in the middle of this conflict situation. UN General Secretary António Guterres expressed deep concern about the injuries to sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria and again called for an urgent de-escalation. Wanting to achieve this is also the goal of the US conversations for stabilization in southern Syria, especially in tense areas such as Suwaida, where Israeli armed forces have intervened to protect the Drusen.
Historical context
The Israeli-Syrian relationships have been characterized by constant conflicts since 1948. In 1967, Israel conquered the strategically important golan heights that offer soul rest and resources. Although Syria tried to win the area back in 1973 in the Jom Kippur War, the return remained a central field of dispute to this day. In 1974 a ceasefire was signed, which resulted in the establishment of a demilitarized buffer zone by the UN. But according to information from Wikipedia In 1981 occupied Israel parts of the Golan heights, which is controversial under international law.
The geopolitical tensions also resulted in various militant groups in Syria, such as the HTS, took control of Damascus recently. Guterres also referred to the hundreds of Israeli air strikes on Syria and confirmed the need to respect the agreement adopted in 1974 on the withdrawal of the armed forces. These situations teach us that the security situation in the region is still extremely fragile, especially in a context in which the ISIL branch remains active, which could lead to further military interventions.
Current location and outlook
The military tensions on the Syrian-Israeli border are omnipresent. How Un Geneva reports, many armed groups in the south, northwest and northeast of Syria control the areas, which further destabilizes the security situation. While the de -escalation talks are continued, it remains to be seen whether and how relationships between Syria and Israel can improve, since both countries have been in formal state of war for decades.
Overall, the future of the conflict is uncertain. Syria demands the return of the Golan heights as a central point for a possible normalization of relationships. In the meantime, the region remains a powder barrel that can explode again at any time, as the recent attacks have shown.
