Israel's activities in Syria and the role of Sufa 53

The article discusses the escalation of Israeli infiltration into the southern region of Syria, particularly in Quneitra, where excavation operations and reinforcements are resuming as part of the "Sufa 53" project. Israeli movements are interpreted as bargaining leverage, with the possibility of continuing for a period of one to two years, aiming to capitalize on security chaos and exert pressure on the Syrian government. Some analyses suggest that Israel is using this incursion to strengthen bargaining chips and secure security interests, while experts clarify that these moves are temporary and linked to the current situation of the Israeli government and the stability of the Syrian government, emphasizing that there is no intention to annex the land or establish permanent control. According to estimates, Israel has exceeded the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement by maintaining control over more than 750 square kilometers of Syrian territory through over a thousand airstrikes and multiple infiltrations, while Damascus avoids military options, maintains a diplomatic stance, demands American guarantees, and counters Israeli escalation.
