Alwaght-Israeli regime captured the Golan Heights during 1967 war, then unilaterally annexed the territory in 1981, a move that remains unrecognized by the international community and condemned by the UN. (Israel says it needs a presence in the Golan Heights to protect itself, arguing that UN Resolution 242, adopted after the 1967 war, recognizes Israel's need for “secure” boundaries and does not require Israel to withdraw from all occupied territories. This interpretation is also disputed.)
During the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Syrian army regained much of the southern Golan, before being reoccupied by Israeli regime counterattack. Almost 30% of the Golan Heights falling in the Eastern side remains under the Syrian rule. Today, this area contains more than 40 Syrian towns and villages. But, the remaining occupied region still needs to return to Syrian rule under any circumstances, as the Syrian leaders have always stated.
Since the Yom Kippur War, the Syrian government did not have any direct attempt to return the Golan Heights, they preferred to confront the Israeli regime through supporting the Zionist’s worst nightmare, the Islamic Resistance in the region, including Hezbollah, Hamas, and Jihad. This strategy taken by the Syrian government which has surrounded the Zionist entity with dangers from its northern and South-Western borders. The Syrian government was attacked, since 2011 by a Western planned war through pumping Takfiri terrorist militant groups into Syria from Turkey and Jordan, where they are now settling in many areas around the borders of Syria. The Takfiri militants settling in the South-West of Syria are mainly from the terrorist group al-Nusra front, which is being supported from its southern neighbors, the Zionists in the Golan Heights.
Israeli regime feels safe with the terrorist groups, making a defensive line between them and the Syrian army and Hezbollah. Israeli regime leaders have reported several times that they have no fear towards the terrorist groups in the Golan Heights. This Zionist contentment is displayed through the various aids that Isreali regime offers to the Takfiri terrorists such as weaponry, ammunition, medical aid, food support, and other logistical support.
But Israeli regime is worried now towards the military advance achieved by the Syrian army and Hezbollah.
The Zionist media outlets reflects the Israeli regime concern over the battlefield achievements which have been contrived by the Syrian Army and Hezbollah in al-Quneitra in the context of their wide campaign against the terrorist groups in the area, stressing that the aim of that progress is cordoning off the Israeli regime on different front lines.
The Zionist analysts said that Hezbollah is penetrating the "security belt" which the terrorist groups established and that the party's troops will deploy soon in al-Quneitra.
"Over 2000 troops from the Syrian Army and Hezbollah are now 10 Kilometers away from the entity's border," they added, "The aim of the campaign is to deliver these military units to the border."
And so the missile strike in al-Quneitra, which killed six Hezbollah members and one Iranian general, was a Zionist message to the axis of resistance that Golan Heights is a red line. But, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, supported by Iran and Syria, did not hesitate to reply mightily through the Shebaa operation which destroyed several Israeli regime vehicles and killed many Zionist soldiers. The message was clear by the axis of resistance that now all fronts are united, and Hezbollah’s leader - Sayed Hasan Nasrullah - made it clear that the resistance powers will be on all fronts needed. Golan heights and Shebaa are one front now and the Islamic Resistance will be on both fronts equally, and this is the new strategic disaster that Israeli regime must face in the next confrontation, which experts say it is not that far.
This new equation where Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and now Yemen, are all in one front, the axis of resistance front, makes it easier for us to ponder on how soon Israeli regime will not just lose the Golan Heights, but its whole entity.
