  • The rebel offensive was launched the same day the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel took effect. The timing was no doubt linked to the weakened state of Hezbollah, which played a critical role in helping the Syrian government gain the upper hand against armed insurgents following the eruption of the civil war in Syria in 2011.

The article from MSN discusses how both Turkey and Israel are strategically benefiting from the ongoing chaos in Syria. Turkey has been actively involved in military operations against Kurdish forces in northern Syria, aiming to prevent the establishment of a Kurdish state along its border, which it perceives as a security threat. This has allowed Turkey to expand its influence and control over Syrian territory, effectively creating a buffer zone. Meanwhile, Israel has conducted numerous airstrikes targeting Iranian military positions and assets in Syria, aiming to curb Iran's growing influence and prevent the transfer of advanced weapons to Hezbollah. These actions are part of Israel's broader strategy to maintain its security by keeping potential threats at bay. Both countries, despite their differing objectives, are exploiting the power vacuum and instability in Syria to advance their national interests, with Turkey focusing on territorial and security concerns, and Israel on countering Iranian expansion.
