Zionist Expansion in Southern Syria and the Spread of Takfiri Massacres on the Coast

Israel Expands Military Presence on Mount Hermon

In a stark revelation of its expansionist ambitions, the Zionist enemy’s military radio has announced plans to construct two new military outposts atop the occupied Jabal al-Shaykh (Mount Hermon) in southwestern Syria. Construction is set to begin next Sunday, with labor sourced from the Druze community in the occupied Syrian Golan. This move underscores the Israeli enemy’s longstanding strategy of exploiting sectarian divisions to fracture Syrian society while entrenching its military presence like a cancerous growth on Arab lands. Simultaneously, behind-the-scenes deals with local militias enable Israel’s expansion, all under the shadow of an unsettling international silence.

According to Zionist sources, the newly planned outposts are intended to become permanent bases for exerting control over the region. One of the sites, falsely claimed to be “abandoned,” has already been seized by the Zionist forces, while Nepalese UN troops maintain a passive presence. The far graver reality, however, is the Israeli enemy’s expansion of its so-called “security belt,” stretching 15 kilometers deep into Syrian territory. This expansion grants the Zionist enemy unchecked control over the lives of more than 40,000 Syrians trapped in the occupied buffer zone—an area the enemy has transformed into a battleground to settle scores with the Lebanese resistance under the guise of fabricated accusations of arms smuggling.

Secret Deals and Criminal Complicity

Meanwhile, Takfiri armed groups aligned with the notorious Jolani—who has appointed himself as their leader—continue to operate as tools of the Israeli enemy’s expansionist agenda. Rather than prioritizing the defense of Syrian sovereignty against the country’s greatest external threat, these armed factions turn their weapons against fellow Syrians, carrying out horrific ethnic cleansing campaigns. While they unleash relentless brutality upon Syria’s coastal communities, they remain conspicuously indifferent to the Zionist enemy’s even graver violations, completely ignoring the occupation’s deepening footprint.

The extent of coordination between the Zionist enemy and these groups has been explicitly confirmed by Zionist officials, who admitted to renewing an old arrangement that grants the Israeli occupation further territorial control in exchange for ensuring these factions maintain power in their strongholds through joint logistical support. This agreement has been in effect since the very moment these Takfiri groups began overrunning cities previously controlled by the Assad system.

Reiterating the enemy’s long-standing intentions, its so-called defense minister reaffirmed the occupation’s ongoing control over Jabal al-Shaykh (Mount Hermon) and what he termed a “safe zone” in southern Syria. During a visit to Jabal al-Shaykh —located just 40 kilometers from Damascus—he declared that Israeli forces are preparing for an indefinite stay in Syria. He further pledged to maintain southern Syria as a demilitarized zone and boasted that the Zionist enemy’s forces had already carried out more than 40 airstrikes on military targets in the region, allegedly to counter “threats.”

On Monday night, Israeli warplanes launched a fresh wave of intense airstrikes, targeting Syrian army weapons depots, tanks, and military infrastructure in southern Daraa province. This continues the Israeli enemy’s systematic efforts to dismantle Syria’s military defenses. Yet, despite these repeated aggressions, the armed factions controlling parts of Syria have shown no reaction, demonstrating their complete disregard for the Zionist enemy’s deepening encroachment.

From the Golan to Jabal al-Shaykh

Since the occupation of the Golan Heights in 1967, the Zionist entity’s expansionist ambitions have never wavered. However, its territorial advances have accelerated dramatically following the collapse of the Assad regime in 2024. With Jabal al-Shaykh now fully under Israeli control, the occupation has extended far beyond the demilitarized zone, systematically dismantling hundreds of Syrian military installations through relentless air raids.

Simultaneously, the Zionist enemy has sought to exploit the atrocities committed by Takfiri groups—who have proven themselves neither capable of governance nor interested in statehood— positioning themselves as “protectors” of the Druze community. This calculated maneuver reveals the Zionist enemy’s deeper agenda: to further entrench its presence within Syrian territory by exacerbating internal divisions.

With no meaningful international intervention in sight, Syria remains in a dire state. The massacres on the coast continue, and the Zionist entity’s expansion in the south remains unchecked. The pressing question remains: do the complicit militias realize they are nothing more than temporary pawns in a grander scheme, one that will ultimately lead to the Zionist entity swallowing even more Syrian land?

Zionist Expansion in Southern Syria: Insatiable Greed

History repeats itself, with new blood spilled on Syrian soil. In 1967, the Zionist entity seized the Golan Heights, tightening its grip ever since. Now, in 2024, it extends its reach to Jabal al-Shaykh, exploiting the security vacuum left by the fall of the Assad government. The Israeli enemy’s control of this strategic mountain is not a mere military maneuver—it is a calculated step in a broader expansionist blueprint designed to dismantle Syria both geographically and demographically.

With an elevation of 2,814 meters, Jabal al-Shaykh has transformed from a simple vantage point into a full-fledged military base. It now serves as the Zionist enemy’s strategic outpost, looming just 40 kilometers from Damascus, overseeing the Syrian-Lebanese border, and providing the entity with the ability to enforce total surveillance and dominance over the region. This poses an immediate and severe threat to Arab national security.

Beyond its military operations, the Zionist enemy has intensified its efforts to forcibly displace thousands of civilians from Jabal al-Shaykh’s villages, replacing them with Jewish settlers in a blatant act of territorial cleansing. Moreover, the Zionist entity has begun diverting Jabal al-Shaykh’s freshwater springs to supply its illegal settlements, threatening to plunge southern Syria into drought while simultaneously looting the country’s resources and conducting secret weapons experiments in newly built underground facilities.

Zionist expansion is no longer limited to traditional occupation—it now aims to transform southern Syria into an Israeli-controlled entity, governed directly from “Tel Aviv” and propped up by traitorous Druze separatists and mercenary militias. What is most alarming is the deafening silence of the Arab world, a passive complicity that enables the Zionist dream of an empire stretching from an-Naqab to Jabal al-Shaykh.

Today, Syrians find themselves trapped in a two-front war: an external occupier that carves away at their land with expansional greed, and internal factions that butcher their own people with Takfiri bloodlust, funded by Gulf money and backed by Western powers.
