Israel is bombing Iranian targets hence Hezbollah not ISIS
it’s convoluted I know
You have nation states, pseudo nations states, host nations, occupying forces, enemies, quasi enemies, frenemies, quasi frenemies all rolled into one
And frankly who supports who in Syria is muddy and who are the actual good guys on the ground is too
Israel is trying to toe a very narrow often contradictory line over Syria and it involves everyone in the region and beyond truly
What a mess
Worse than mid 1700s to mid 1800s India
Israel has been at war at least openly since 2006 with Hezbollah - the Lebanon War could not have been a clearer example how this Iranian proxy has controlled what was a Syrian proxy - Lebanon. Obviously since 1979 they have been the Shia counter in Lebanon to Sunnis/Christians and have precipitated many lower level conflicts. The fact that Iran has been attempting to solidify offensive positions in Syria because they can exploit a weak Syrian regime is no less a threat to Israel than Hezbollah’s entrenchment in Lebanon. In fact, it is likely more so.
