Israel’s Strategic Maneuvers in Post-Assad Syria

The collapse of the Assad regime has opened a volatile power vacuum in Syria—and Israel has moved decisively to shape what fills it. This intelligence product by Global Eye Intelligence delivers a structured, operational assessment of Israel’s evolving military doctrine in post-Assad Syria, where deterrence is being replaced by proactive control.

The analysis explains Israel’s shift from limited, reactive airstrikes to sustained ground presence, intelligence-driven buffer zones, and deep surveillance penetration extending far beyond its borders. It examines the creation of security and influence zones, the deployment of drones and special forces, and the targeting of Iranian and Hezbollah supply chains before they can regenerate. Far from tactical raids, these actions represent a long-term strategy to rewrite rules of engagement in a fragmented Syria.

Crucially, the product maps regional and international reactions—from Syria’s weakened interim authority and Lebanon’s rising anxiety to Iran’s calibrated responses and the diplomatic limits of international condemnation. Tactical insights highlight escalation risks, early-warning advantages, and the implications of normalising cross-border force projection.

Why this matters now: post-conflict environments are when new regional orders are quietly constructed. Those who track these shifts early understand tomorrow’s borders, alliances, and fault lines—long before they harden.
