Fox News: Israel faces new Syria challenge as it adjusts to new strategy amid regional power struggle for influence
The Israeli Air Force targeted the headquarters of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Damascus, Syria, amid ongoing instability following the regime change led by an al Qaeda-linked insurgency. Israel has deployed troops to the demilitarized zone and conducted over 300 strikes in Syria to counter threats from various jihadi groups.
Israel's military strategy aims to prevent advanced weaponry from falling into the hands of hostile forces, while also protecting its Druze community near the border. Analysts note that the rise of Sunni Islamist governance poses significant risks to regional stability, prompting Israel to maintain a fragmented Syria to limit the influence of groups like Hezbollah and Iranian proxies.
