Abstract:

Since the beginning of the war in Gaza last October, there has been an increase in attacks on targets in Syria by both Israel and the U.S., as well as by Iran and its affiliated militias. This is due, on the one hand, to Hezbollah’s strong presence in the country and, on the other, to Iran’s motivation to raise the cost of U.S. support for Israel. The regime of Bashar al-Assad perceives these actions as a threat, especially as his government is avoiding becoming involved in the Gaza war for fear that an escalation would threaten the fragile stability of his rule.
