Following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria in December 2024, Israel wasted no time in launching an incursion across the Syrian border, capturing military posts and the strategic peak of Mount Hermon. This action, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed, was a “temporary” measure to “ensure that no hostile force embeds itself right next to the border of Israel.” However, after an entire year of occupation without any major threats emerging at the border, Israel has not withdrawn.
