It's unclear if these operations will lead to calm or if it could backfire and lead to elements entering areas such as the Yarmouk Basin and threatening Israel.
The IDF said that they carried out an airstrike after gunmen opened fire toward IDF soldiers in southern Syria. “This morning (Tuesday), IDF troops identified several terrorists who opened fire toward them in southern Syria. The troops returned fire in response and the IAF struck the terrorists. Hits were identified,” the IDF said.
This is an escalation along the border. The fact that there were several gunmen involved on the Syrian side could mean that threats are emerging near the border. The IDF took over a buffer zone along the border on December 8 when the Syrian regime fell. Israel’s Prime Minister has said that southern Syria must be demilitarized. Israeli politicians and officials have threatened the new government of Syria in the last two months. There have been numerous IDF strikes in Syria as well. The latest strikes targeted the T-4 air base near Palmyra which is not in southern Syria but rather in the Syrian desert.
The full details of the clash on March 25 are beginning to emerge. The IDF says it identified gunmen who had opened fire. The IDF then returned fire and carrier out a drone strike. At least five people were killed in Syria. The clash took place near Kuwaya in Dara’a governorate. This village is located in the Yarmouk basin, a valley formed by the Yarmouk river that flows near the Golan border in Syria. It also flows near the Jordanian border.
This is a sensitive area. It is also an area that is far from Damascus and hard for the new Syrian government to control. With Israel’s warnings to Damascus it seems unlikely the new Syrian government will be able to control these areas with many forces, leaving a power vacuum.
