Whenever the Zionist entity begins to feel cornered, it seeks an outlet—an escape forward. Each time it fails to achieve military decisiveness, it attempts to reshape the conflict by amplifying a particular threat or creating a new theater of operations. Today, as its deterrence erodes in Gaza, Tel Aviv suddenly turns its eyes to southern Syria—specifically, As-Suwayda—placing it under a cloud of suspicion.

What’s striking in recent reports from Israeli media, especially those close to security decision-making circles, is the unmistakable tone of panic. The narrative goes beyond the typical “Iranian activity,” delving into a scenario of a “mass infiltration” involving global jihadists, Bedouin tribes, and an Iranian military infrastructure embedded deep within Syria. This is not a sober intelligence assessment, but a carefully crafted narrative echoing the events of October 7, albeit setting the stage for a darker, murkier version of that day from the Zionist perspective.
Superficially, the Zionist entity presents this narrative as part of its defensive preparations. But in essence, it signals a dangerous shift in the rules of engagement: from preemptive security measures to the brink of launching a battle that has yet to begin. A state that once responded to emerging threats now seeks to fabricate a theoretical danger as a pretext for striking what remains of Syria’s state infrastructure in the south—possibly as a means to deflect from its mounting losses in Gaza and under Iranian strikes.
As-Suwayda is not a conventional battlefield. It is a sensitive zone, charged with public anger and civil protest, while simultaneously lacking strong security presence from the Syrian state. This political and security vacuum makes it an ideal environment for engineering a volatile and explosive scenario.
There are many players in the south, yet the Zionist entity aims to monopolize the threat narrative and control the moment of action. Hence, it has launched selective operations inside Syrian territory—all under the pretense of “preventing another October 7.” But the crucial question remains: Is Israel genuinely afraid of a real threat emerging from As-Suwayda and Daraa, or is it preparing to manufacture an enemy tailored to fit this moment?
The Zionist fear of southern Syria is not new, but it is now entering a new and dangerous phase. Tel Aviv is no longer content with observing the situation or conducting sporadic strikes—it now seeks to expand the scope of the conflict to towns and villages that have historically not been part of the military confrontation. It is even speaking openly about the possibility of “armed groups” storming settlements near the Golan Heights—a message primarily aimed at its domestic audience, still traumatized by the breach of Gaza’s perimeter, and secondarily at the international community, which may accept such narratives as justification for escalation in Syria.
History may not repeat itself with the same details, but the Zionist fear of another October 7 runs deep. It goes beyond the event itself to the existential dread of losing control. What Israel truly fears is not just infiltration through its fences—but infiltration into the minds of its own people, a realization that armies, walls, and warplanes can no longer guarantee security.
To those who believe that southern Syria has become an open laboratory for signaling that Syria is finished, I say: they may be surprised to find that beneath its ashes lies burning embers. What is brewing in As-Suwayda—politically and socially—may yet ignite a front unlike Gaza or South Lebanon, but one that carries the seeds of a third world war.
