The Israelis have launched several airstrikes and missile attacks against Syrian military positions during the long-running war under the pretext that it was hitting weapons bound to Hezbollah.
Their recent attack was on Feb. 10, when Israel carried out attacks on Syrian military bases under the pretext that an Iranian drone was launched in Syria and infiltrated the Israeli airspace.
After hitting the an air base in central Syria, where the alleged Iranian drone station is located, the Syrian air defenses shot down an Israeli F-16 that was attacking the Syrian site.
Later on, Israel responded with a missile attack, targeting 12 military sites in Syria, including three alleged Iranian positions.
The Israeli warmongering rhetoric and actions are also another complication to the course of action in Syria, particularly now that the Syrian government pledged to immediately respond to any further aggression.
Additionally, tension also spiked between the U.S. and Russia, when Washington recently accused Moscow of protecting Assad from responsibility for what they said multiple chlorine gas attacks on civilians in recent weeks.
Russia and Syria denied the accusations, with government statements in Syria accusing Washington of creating pretexts to strike Syria.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry said earlier this month that the U.S. and its allies are "desperately" searching for a pretext to target Syria, following the success of the Syrian army in its war against terror-designated militant groups across the country.
