These young Syrians, who have endured humiliation and aggression from both Zionist forces and terrorist groups over the past year, attacked the soldiers, injuring six, three of whom are in critical condition. In response, Israeli aircraft and drones targeted civilians and homes to rescue their troops. Some Arab media outlets have reported that several Israeli soldiers were captured by the Syrian youth, but following airstrikes that destroyed 20 residential buildings, their fate remains unknown.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military has a unit within its &#8216;Intelligence Administration&#8217; known as the &#8216;Military Censorship Unit,&#8217; which controls how casualty and damage reports are disseminated. The existence of this unit implies that the figures provided by the Israeli regime regarding its losses are manipulated and significantly lower than the actual numbers. Moreover, according to the 2011 &#8216;Hannibal Protocol&#8217; established by the Israeli military&#8217;s General Staff, no Israeli soldier should be captured alive by the enemy. Therefore, it is plausible that the soldiers reported as captured may have been killed in subsequent airstrikes, along with 20 Syrian citizens, and later evacuated to Sheba Hospital by helicopters, as reported by Hebrew media.The fall of Damascus occurred on December 8, 2024, marking a pivotal moment when the Israeli regime undertook every possible action against the country and its people. This included the occupation of vast areas in southwestern Syria, bringing them within mere kilometers of Damascus, as well as bombarding military infrastructure and even government buildings, including the presidential palace. The Israeli regime has established military bases and checkpoints within Syrian territory to interrogate civilians and conduct military drills without seeking permission from Damascus.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, unprecedented images of Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, visiting Syrian territory have made headlines. These events could provide sufficient motivation for Syrian youth to replicate the actions witnessed in Beit Jann on Friday morning, which, as noted by an Al-Akhbar columnist, &#8216;disrupted Israeli calculations in Syria.&#8217;It appears that with the recent changes in Beit Jann, the Zionist honeymoon in Syria has ended. They can no longer operate freely as they once did, even if the terrorist regime wishes otherwise. The Zionists will undoubtedly take any measures necessary to retain their grip on Syria, but the Syrian people are no longer willing to accept this status quo. Current developments in Syria indicate that the populace remains furious over the presence of Israeli occupiers and their terrorist affiliates, as well as their atrocities.<\/p>\n<p>After the exposure of the Israeli operation in this town, which resulted in the deaths of several Syrian citizens at the hands of the Zionists, a large crowd of Syrians, for the first time in a year, held anti-Zionist protests and burned the regime&#8217;s flag. The success of the Syrian youth in targeting Israeli soldiers, which led to their retreat and abandonment of military vehicles, could reignite long-suppressed anger among the populace.Perhaps just a month ago, fear of the proxy regime&#8217;s widespread massacres against Alawites and Druze in Syria kept many from daring to act against the Israeli occupiers. However, the events in Beit Jann have demonstrated that they have found the courage to resist.<\/p>\n<p>Both the Israeli regime and the United States are attempting to intimidate other nations into submission using their experiences in Gaza. They threaten Lebanon with the same fate as Gaza to disarm Hezbollah, and they warn Venezuela of a similar outcome to persuade Maduro to step down in favor of a pro-Western figure. This policy, with slight variations, is also being pursued in Syria, resulting in the rise of a leader who is notably submissive to the West and the Israeli regime.The events of early Friday in Beit Jann were in fact a response to a year of occupation humiliation and a &#8216;fear and intimidation&#8217; policy aimed at subduing the Syrian people by mirroring the Gaza model. A crucial aspect of this incident is its spontaneous and grassroots nature. This operation did not emerge from an organized military group but arose from the masses and youth who refuse to endure further humiliation.<\/p>\n<p>The fundamental question now is not how the Israeli regime will respond but whether the spark from Beit Jann can ignite a larger uprising throughout Syria. Given the strategic size and demographic makeup of this 30 million-strong nation the answer is affirmative. It is a fact that the despised Israeli regime with its crumbling economy deep internal divisions and absolute dependence on foreign support lacks the capacity to manage a widespread popular uprising in a country of such magnitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent developments in the Beit Jann region signal the end of Zionist dominance in Syria.
