You might be confusing it with Lebanon, but Syria has been bombed by Israel and is pretty unstable in general so it's impressive they were able to do this research regardless. People shouldn't be downvoting you for asking a question.

Nah Israel is heavily assaulting Syria too, these days, at this moment, continuously. Special ops raids for targeted killing, blowing up some stuff or the other, bombing places. They don't even try to hide it, videos from chopper pilots, drones and helmet cams from soldiers are all over internet. It may have some good reasons behind given war they wage on Lebanon, or just settling decades old political grudges, don't know.

  Honestly, I don't understand why the threshold for war seems to be ground invasion. If you're shooting missiles at another country, that's war too. Israel is at war with Syria, Iran, and Lebanon imo. Not to mention Hamas.

    When we bomb, it's called a preemptive strike. It's only considered war when the enemy responds. Welcome to the "rules based international order"

      Also giving billions worth of weapon is seemingly totally fine but selling shells and sending troops to an allied country is "an escalation" when the opponent camp does it. The double standards and double speak is so tiring.

    Also, Israel claims it must preemptively strike and do all sorts of things due to what its enemies may do to them, but given how much slaughter and actual genocide Israel sanctioned its allies to do in Lebanon in its history, they would be equally justified in reverse

  > It may have some good reasons behind given war they wage on Lebanon The day after Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, Lebanon (well, Hezbollah) stepped up their rocket attacks on Israel. Israel had to evacuate the entire north of the country, so that combined with the evacuated people from the Gaza area means something like 200,000 internally displaced Israelis right now. Hezbollah has killed dozens of citizen across the border, most prominently 12 children playing soccer a few months ago. They bombed two kindergartens in Israel this past week.
