The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

The presence of military forces and assets in southern Syria poses a direct threat to Israeli citizens, necessitating preventive action to ensure security. Southern Syria must be completely demilitarized to prevent it from becoming another Lebanon-like threat. Any attempt by Syrian forces or terrorist organizations to establish themselves in the security zone will be met with force.

Jerusalem Post

Anti-Israel narrative

Israel is flagrantly violating Syrian sovereignty and international agreements, complicating efforts to reunify the country during a critical transition period. The attacks serve to further destabilize Syria and provoke a response from the new government that Israel could use to justify even more aggression. The international community must pressure Israel to stop these blatant violations.
