New Arab, Israeli strikes on Syria ‘completely lawless’, UN experts say
To generalize Netanyahu’s example: Nations fearing a neighbor’s potential military capability may pro-actively destroy that capability, if they can. Also, they may occupy a portion of that neighbor’s territory as a buffer and hold it for as long as they see fit.
By Dec 11, the IDF fighter aircraft had struck Syria 350 times, while drone and missiles had struck another 130 times. Since then, the staunchly anti-Assad UK-based Syrian Observatory For Human Rights (SOHR) has recorded 30-60 additional strikes per day. Also, Israeli ground forces have moved into the buffer zone between Syria and the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights with the aim of controlling the 400-square-kilometer (155-square-mile) zone.
