Amid these attacks, international reactions remain muted, and questions persist over Syria\u2019s ability to defend its sovereignty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late Sunday night, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/17\/03\/2025\/turkish-airstrike-kills-and-injures-11-in-northern-syria\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turkish airstrike targeted a house in the countryside of Kobani, northern Syria<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, killing nine members of a single family, including children.

While the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Israeli airstrikes a day after they occurred, calling them a \u201cflagrant violation of international law and a threat to regional security\u201d, the statement notably omitted any reference to the Turkish airstrike in Kobani.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read also: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/19\/03\/2025\/syria-homs-daraa-israeli\/#\">Israeli Airstrikes Target Sites in Central and Southern Syria<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This selective condemnation has drawn criticism, with many questioning the government&#8217;s stance on Turkey&#8217;s repeated incursions into Syrian territory. Meanwhile, Mazloum Abdi, the commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), urged the interim government to take responsibility for protecting its citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Strategic Considerations and Constraints<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Syrian analyst Hassan Al-Naifi, based in France, believes that Israel\u2019s persistent strikes aim to keep Syria militarily weak. He argues that Damascus currently lacks the capability to retaliate against Israeli attacks, particularly given the destruction of Syria\u2019s military infrastructure over the past decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAny military response could give Israel justification for launching a broader campaign,\u201d Al-Naifi told <\/span><b>+963<\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, he suggests that diplomatic efforts, leveraging international and regional pressure, may be the only viable path to curbing Israeli attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the Turkish-SDF conflict, Al-Naifi points out that while Syria&#8217;s new administration seeks to mend relations with the SDF, its tensions with Turkey run deep. Without international mediation, he argues, the confrontation between Ankara and the SDF is unlikely to end. He believes only U.S. intervention could prevent further escalation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/05\/03\/2025\/military-escalation-and-economic-leverage-israels-expanding-influence-in-southern-syria\/#\">Military Escalation and Economic Leverage: Israel\u2019s Expanding Influence in Southern Syria<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Israel\u2019s Strategy and Its Regional Impact<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ismat Mansour, an Israeli affairs analyst, asserts that Israel\u2019s continued airstrikes are designed to weaken Syria and prevent it from re-emerging as a military threat. He suggests that Damascus could use its recent diplomatic outreach to bring the issue to the global stage and pressure key international players to rein in Israel\u2019s actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Mansour notes to <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that Al-Sharaa\u2019s administration appears reluctant to confront Israel directly, possibly due to domestic priorities or concerns about Western and American reactions to a shift in its stance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf Syria remains silent, Israel will likely intensify its strikes,\u201d Mansour warned.
