Israel has been covertly bombing Syria for years to prevent anti-Israel forces from gaining strength. While Syria has not retaliated, experts believe that the ongoing Gaza conflict may escalate tensions, leading to further strikes. Israel’s primary concern is to hinder Iran’s military presence in Syria, which poses a threat to Israeli borders. However, Syria’s neutrality in the Gaza conflict and its ongoing civil war have prevented direct retaliation against Israeli attacks. Despite the lack of Syrian response, experts warn that the situation could escalate if Iran and Israel continue their tit-for-tat attacks, as evidenced by the recent Iranian missile strikes on Israel in response to the alleged Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus.
