Tel Aviv’s dangerous project in southern Syria: instrumental use of the Druze.
According to the Palestinian Information Center, Rami Abu Zubaydah, a military expert and analyst, wrote in an article on the current developments in Syria: The recent developments in southern Syria indicate the beginning of a new and dangerous phase of the Zionist regime’s intervention, this time by abusing the Druze tribe and under the pretext of supporting minorities. This intervention goes beyond airstrikes and shows signs of the formation of a sectarian security project that could lead to the social and political disintegration of Syria.
The crossing of dozens of Druze from the occupied territories into Syrian territory, which has been acknowledged by the Hebrew media, was accompanied by open calls from the religious leaders of the Druze tribe in occupied Palestine. By likening the situation in Suwayda to October 7 (the day of Operation Storm al-Aqsa), Muwafq Tarif, the spiritual leader of this tribe, created an emotional and aggressive atmosphere that serves the military security plans of the Zionist regime.
Simultaneously with these popular and sectarian movements, Israeli warplanes targeted sensitive positions near the Syrian Ministry of Defense in Damascus, an action that sent a clear message to the Syrian leadership and indicated the expansion of the circle of conflict deep into the capital.
The field and strategic implications of these movements are
Southern Syria is on the verge of becoming a new arena of confrontation between Syria and the Israeli regime, an arena that will be managed by sectarian means.
Revival of the old scenario of division through the creation of independent sectarian centers, which will be in direct contact and coordination with the Zionist regime.
Creating psychological warfare by likening the events in Suwayda to the “Al-Aqsa Storm” to mobilize public opinion and incite the Druze to military intervention.
Attempting to erode Damascus by creating insecurity and conflict on multiple fronts.
Analysts believe that the most dangerous scenario is the formation of armed Druze cells loyal to the Zionist regime in southern Syria; this could fuel bloody internal conflicts and further threaten the stability of the region.
The Syrian government’s response to these developments, especially given the direct targeting of Damascus by the occupying regime’s warplanes, will determine the equation of the future conflict.
