The misconception that Israel only entered Syria after Assad fell is false.
Israel had already built roads inside Quneitra, carried out incursions, constructed trenches and conducted a ground raid in Syria before December 2024.

A suicide drone struck an Internal Security checkpoint in the al-Mazraa operational area, slightly injuring one officer and causing damage to equipment at the site.
Suwayda’s National Guard, a coalition of Druze armed factions loyal to religious leader Hikmat al-Hijri, attacked an Internal Security Forces position in western rural Suwayda using explosive-laden drones, a Syrian security source said.
The strike hit a recurring flashpoint along the province’s western perimeter and comes just days after Suwayda Governor Mustafa al-Bakour urged local notables to enter dialogue with the state, amid persistent tensions.

Military police arrested six wanted men linked to the former regime in Hama, including Abdul Hakim Wannous, chief of staff of the 35th Special Forces Regiment, over crimes against civilians.
The Ministry of Justice announced that a former Judge has been sentenced to 8 years in temporary imprisonment and fined 36 million new Syrian pounds after being convicted of bribery and abuse of influence.

An "uprising"? They literally went out and slaughtered civilians and security personnel, hundreds. The reaction that followed was also unbelievable horrific, but let’s also not pretend this brutal attack by Assad regime remnants was some kind of noble uprising.
🇸🇾 Two people were sentenced to death and three others to prison terms by a Syrian court on Thursday over their roles in a campaign of sectarian violence last year in the Alawite region of coastal Syria.
In March 2025, an uprising by elements of the former Assad regime was followed by a much larger and violent backlash by militias and security forces affiliated with the current Syrian government that spiraled into widespread sectarian violence that killed over 1,500 people. Read Drop Site’s coverage of the massacre linked below.
Separately, Syrian intelligence officials arrested Ali Kayali, the state-owned news agency SANA reported. Kayali is the primary suspect in the 2013 killing of hundreds of civilians in western Syria. At the time, he was the leader of a pro-government militant group.
Assad remnant, Ali Kayali, also known as Mihrac Ural, is now in the custody of Syria’s General Intelligence Directorate.
Every dog has its day and for this one, accountability is finally beginning.
Takbirat after the news of the arrest of Ali kayaks, (Mihrac Ural)
The criminal known as the Butcher of Banias has now been arrested by Syrian intelligence while allegedly trying to flee across the border.
Ali Kayali, known as Mihrac Ural, led a pro-Assad militia accused of massacring civilians in Banias and al-Bayda in 2013.
Syrian security forces have arrested Iraqi national Ahmed al-Khafaji, known as Abu Tabarak, in Damascus.
He is accused of forming armed militias for the Assad regime before its fall in December 2024.
Last year, Syrian authorities exposed cells plotting attacks on the coast, including one led by Maher Ali, accused of links to Maher al-Assad’s network.
Authorities also alleged Hezbollah provided logistical support.
Today, Maher Ali and Wadih Ismail were sentenced to death.
Before Russia entered the war, Assad was already burning Syria to the ground.
But in 2015, Russia left almost nothing untouched, homes, cities, and communities reduced to ash.
A reminder of why Syria was destroyed to this level.
In Suwayda, Ribal Shujaa was allegedly abducted and beaten by an armed group linked to Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri’s National Guard after a disagreement with the sheikh.
The video shows bruises on his face.
This is how dissent is treated.

Should Syria prioritize sustainable growth?
In the current economic reality, we don't have the luxury of time.
While sustainable growth requires strong institutions—and institutions need resources—our immediate focus must be rapid growth to lift people out of extreme poverty. How can we do that?
On the Inside Syria podcast (Syria Now on YouTube), we addressed this key question and several others.

Losing control of the city, but never losing control of the narrative.
Assadists today are still following the same playbook.
