🏴 | Occupied Syria once again on the brink of massive domino falls

Occupied Syria is once again standing on the edge of another dangerous collapse. The past several months have been consumed by the removal and elimination of top HTS and affiliated figures through mysterious accidents, alleged heart attacks, and other unexplained incidents. Alongside this came HTS led sectarian massacres, soaring prices, widespread corruption, the disappearance of public funds and subsidies, and growing public anger that erupted into repeated protests. At the same time, the Israeli occupation continued regular artillery shelling, targeted assassinations, abductions, and restrictions across occupied Syrian territory, pushing the occupied country deeper into instability.

Last night marked another major escalation. Powerful explosions struck ammunition depots belonging to the HTS occupation regime in Al-Eis, west of Aleppo. The blasts were so intense that the Aleppo-Damascus highway was cut off, explosions were heard nearly 70 kilometers away, and rockets and shells landed across surrounding villages and towns. Reports indicate that unidentified airstrikes targeted a former Syrian Arab Army air defense missile warehouse. Among the debris was the booster section of a 57E6 missile, a component used exclusively by the Syrian Arab Army’s Pantsir air defense system. This was not an isolated incident. Since the beginning of the year, warehouses and military depots have exploded one after another in Homs, Al-Fu’ah, the Military Academy, Aleppo’s Neyrab Airport, Zardana, Baniyas, Nawa, Rif Dimashq, Ramousa, Adra Industrial Zone, Sermada, Ayash in Deir ez-Zor, and now Al-Eis. The pattern has become impossible to ignore, with former Syrian military infrastructure repeatedly being destroyed before any meaningful reconstruction can take place.

At the same time, Israeli occupation forces shelled the outskirts of Jumla and Abedin in western Daraa countryside, while another explosion in Al-Harra targeted a vehicle belonging to a security official in the Ministry of Interior. Parallel to these attacks, ISIS-2.0 operations have reappeared across Syria on a regular basis, including bombings and attacks on security targets. Even as these developments unfolded, a suicide bomber detonated himself in Manbij, adding yet another layer to Syria’s collapsing security environment.

It has become increasingly clear that the Israeli occupation is systematically preventing any reinstallation or rebuilding of military/any crucial infrastructure inside occupied Syria. Every attempt to restore strategic capabilities is met with another strike. What is equally evident is the disastrous role played by Turkey and Qatar, whose intervention is portrayed here as a project driven by geopolitical ambition rather than the interests of the Syrian people. They believed removing Assad would allow them to dominate Syria politically, economically, and militarily, but that project has instead pushed the country further into fragmentation, occupation, and endless conflict.

Turkey and Qatar imagined they would harvest strategic benefits from Syria, yet they now find themselves trapped in the very chaos they helped create. Their collaborators expected influence over Damascus, but Tel Aviv has repeatedly demonstrated that it does not tolerate any competing power consolidating itself inside Syria, even among those who believed they were serving the same broader agenda. As the belt of war expands, Turkey has begun reinforcing its own border and pushing deeper into Syrian territory out of fear that the instability it helped fuel will eventually reach its doorstep.
