The Israel-Syria Conflict refers to the ongoing political and military tensions between the State of Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic. The conflict has its roots in the broader Arab-Israeli conflict and is characterized by territorial disputes, particularly over the Golan Heights, a region that Israel captured from Syria during the Six-Day War in 1967 and later annexed in 1981, a move that is not internationally recognized.
The conflict is marked by periods of hostilities, including wars and military engagements, as well as attempts at peace negotiations that have often stalled. Key issues include national security, territorial integrity, the status of Palestinian refugees, and broader regional dynamics involving other nations and non-state actors.
The situation has been further complicated by external influences from various countries, the emergence of militant groups, and the ongoing Syrian Civil War that began in 2011, impacting the geopolitical landscape. Throughout the years, this conflict has contributed significantly to instability in the region, influencing not only Israeli and Syrian policies but also the strategies of neighboring countries and international powers.
