Growing reports from southern Syria suggest potential movements by local factions backed by Israel, raising concerns about exploiting domestic divisions to establish a foreign security footprint. These developments align with an Israeli doctrine that prioritizes preemptive strikes and buffer zones, influenced by political calculations in Tel Aviv and Washington. Amidst circulating reports of foreign funding and restricted access to strategic sites like Mount Qalib, observers are questioning the ultimate goals of these activities. Syria is reportedly addressing these threats through domestic consolidation to prevent internal fragmentation, while leveraging a regional protection network involving Jordan, Turkey, and other Arab powers. Analysts warn that attempting to force a "Gaza-style" scenario upon a country like Syria could prove to be a strategic disaster for Israel.
