Quneitra falls to Syrian army. Damascus: 1974 accord permits Syrian air flights over Israel’s Golan border

Syrian rebel resistance to the Syrian Army advance on Quneitra opposite the Israeli Golan crumbled on Thursday, July 19, in the absence of Israeli military support. The terms of surrender that rebel leaders signed with Syrian army officers obliged them to hand over all their strongholds, including the town of Quneitra. The Syrian army was able to return to the positions held before the 2011 uprising without a shot. Rebels refusing to sign were to be sent with their families north to Idlib province.

Israeli officials and military leaders were dismayed by a message received from Damascus claiming that the 1974 Separation of Forces Accord, which both governments resuscitated this week, allowed Syrian aircraft, including assault helicopters and UAVs, to fly over the buffer zones of the Golan up to the Israel border. Damascus relayed a copy of the accord to Moscow with a warning that any Israeli attempt to shoot down a Syrian overflight would be a breach of the 1974 accord, and its endorsement on July 16 at Helsinki by Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. DEBKAfile revealed on July 17 that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had partnered the Helsinki deal for the restoration of southern Syria to the Syrian army under Russian oversight.
Israeli officers were handed the Syrian message on Thursday by the UNDOF commander, Maj Gen. Francis Vib-Sanziri of Ghana, who is henceforth responsible for monitoring implementation of the Helsinki deal.
According to DEBKAfile’s military sources, this Syrian message for the first time  forbids the Israeli air force and anti-air missile batteries shooting down Syrian aerial vehicles entering the air space over the buffer zones. On July 13, Israel shot down a Syrian drone entering the buffer zone. This is no longer permissible. Israel is even precluded from discovering if the intruder belongs to Iran or Hizballah, leaving both these hostile entities free to fly at will over Israel’s Golan border.  Furthermore, Assad may have those flight painted with Syrian air force markings, just as he supplies Syrian military uniforms to disguise Hizballah and pro-Iranian Shiite militiamen.

Our sources reveal that it took the Assad regime no more than four days to renege on Syria’s role in the Helsinki accord. For regaining Quneitra, the Syrian army, led by disguised Hizballah and Shiite troops, was obliged to evacuate the Beit Jinn pocket opposite the IDF’s Hermon outpost. On Monday, July 16, the Syrians pretended to pull back, while actually leaving several hundred troops behind – disguised this time as civilians and farmers.

    I don’t think that it is clear that Israel will interpret the situation and permissible Israeli responses in the same manner as the article anticipates.

    There are too many assumptions being made about future behaviors.

    Also, the part that says, “leaving both these hostile entities free to fly at will over Israel’s Golan border.”, may be poorly written. I don’t think anyone thinks that they will be able to fly OVER Israel’s Golan border although they may be able to fly right up to it.

      Agree, that’s a really bad interpretation of the Accords & it’s going to be very expensive for aircraft as well.

      It’s going to become a War of Attrition in the sense that the IAF will hit any unit that includes any Iranian or Hezy elements, and I applaud it.
      At some point, the Iranians walk or are Asked to leave by Syrians whose collateral damage hits the tipping point.

        Russia has a limited commitment to Syria in so far as they lack the means and manpower to force Israel’s hand.
        Russia cannot be trusted and therefore Israel should exit the Helsinki agreement and pound any Iranian targer within 100 km of the 1974 line thus keeping with the original deal with Russia.
        I question whether Trump has the spine to cross Russia but US support is assured due to GOP pressure.
        Israel must move swiftly as to shape post civil war realities for Syria.
        Russia isn’t a partner. Israel can act first or pick up the pieces after a Russian betrayal.

      Trump is Right to Target Iran Exporting Terrorism and requires a American-EU-Arab-NATO throughout the Middle East and within Iran itself. The massive escalation of Rocket, Balloon, and Kite Attacks from Gaza these last few days came from Order by Hamas’s Masters in Iran. The Hamas Palestinian Terrorists Servants Proxies is Iran’s Feeble Attempt to influence the America-Israel-Russia about countering the Iranian presence in Syria.

      POTUS Trump gets Credit for having the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) on the run and being removed in Mosul, Raqqa, parts of Iraq and Syria. But ISIS is still Surviving in Hiding. Thus, it still needs defeated and until then even Trump has wisely refrained from Declaring Victory, because the Arab Coalition with Turkey has need of its own Servants to go into and disrupt Iran right in Tehran and Iran Territories.

      Nonetheless, there is so much more to do neutralize ISIS-Salafi-Jihadism and change to end it. Iran will not be part of that solution, but must be part of Arab-Turkey solutions by adding Terrorism Inclusion to remove the Robes Regimes within Iran. As wellas , for Middle East Nations March towards a Longer Term of Stability.

      Russia’s Putin agreed with Trump on the need to eventually set up a Type of America-Canada Militarizes Less Border or North-South Korea Demilitarize type of Israel’s Border Zone with Syria by keeping the Agreement that ended the Yom Kippur War. While also agreeing to maintain Israel’s Security and both did not mention Iran intentionally but Iran is still their Target.

      Clearly, Trump-Netanyahu-Putin agree to do certain things with Syria being part Israel Safety of Israel working together. And that acknowledges, the Real Middle East Trouble Maker of Iran’s that enjoys destabilizing Mideast Nations by using Tribal, Religious, and Cultural differences.

      The simple Fact remains that ISIS Militant Salafi-Jihadism is still an ideological threat in parts of Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon but can be used to take down Iran Regime within Iran itself. No question that many ISIS Members have been killed, but Thousands of al-Qaeda, al-Nurasa Jihadis serve as an Umbrella Organization in Idlib Province under the label Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham. They are committed to the Murder of Unbelievers, and that includes Alawites, Israelis, and Americans, but also Iranian’s Shiia.

      Moreover, they have deep roots with quiet support from Arab and Turkey that can copy Iran and also export seasoned Jihadis to help expand their Power throughout the Middle East, just like Iran was doing with Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Houtis in Yemen. Therefore, the Arab Coalition and Turks can do the same thing within Iran as well.

      Hamas does not have a Strategic Purpose in coordinated Violence prompting Major Israeli Retaliation? Hamas’s repeated violations of Ceasefire to continue the unilaterally attacks on Israel is just serving Iranian goal’s not Palestinians. Once again, Israel has sent another Warning Shot with the Air Attack on Aleppo Military Base full of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to Counter Tehran presence in Syria.

      Iran continues to use it’s Hamas Servants to respond to Iran’s Humiliation Devastation by Israel’s and has been feeling the pressure. This is actually Iran’s Signal Warning to Israel that Iranian proxies can be turned on at will, but the only Loser will be Hamas in Gaza if it continues the Tehran Robes Regime bidding?

      As Iran’s Robes Regime becomes more and more desperate and isolated, they have chosen to start a War between Hamas and Israel. But it is a Checkmate One Shot Move and Iran’s Deal of Betrayal to Hamas because Israeli’s Homes may will suffer damage, still at the Full Expense of Hamas Gaza Risking Total Destruction.

      Trump is reorganizing American National Defense Strategy as China is an Economic Competitor and needs more American Trade Deals to keep China Investments flowing and not a Military Threat at this time. Russia is a Nuclear Military Competitor and not an Economic Threat but needs America to help them get back into the G-7. Russia being part of Protecting Israel by ignoring what will happen soon to Hamas in Gaza and then in Iran is part of Russian Goal. America, China and Russia have been dealing with problems and cooperation for over a Century, and not just since 1979 like this Robes Regime?

      Iran is the most significant challenge not just towards Middle East Stability but the Sole Obstacle of Global Cooperation. Iran is neither an Economic nor Military Threat and won’t join any World Cooperative Powers since its wants to be the only Power in the Middle East. This won’t happen until the Iranian Robes Regime is gone and forgotten. The True Future Powers of the Middle East will be led by a Arabia, Israel with a New Turkey Republic as well as with New Persia Leadership, and Reconstitution and Return of Kurdistan.

      Trump’s Administration is right in underscoring the threats and challenges arising from Iran at the same time while relegating the War on Terrorism elsewhere to a Secondary Priority to be used against Iran within and itself as Iran goes Bankrupt in Resources, Water, Money, and over spending to export conflicts and will now be the victim of Importing Terrorism just like what happen to Libya, Iraq, and Syria. Iran will torn apart by Arab and Turks sending ISIS directly into Iran and let those Arch Enemies of misusing Islam do them selves in for violating the words of Allah from the Messenger!

      70th United States Secretary of State Michael Richard Pompeo will throw the Trump Administration’s support behind Persian Protesters in Iranian Streets in a bid to topple the Robes Regime.

      Both Republican and Democrats in Congress have been demanding the State Department reverse a years-long policy that prevents the U.S. from Sanctions on Iran’s Propaganda Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, (IRIB), a Satellite Service that Disseminates Propaganda Censors Content across Iran. The Iranian Protesters who are fed up with the Regime’s Financial Support for Terror Groups throughout the Middle East. The Persian Protesters and Dissidents have requested IRIB Elimination as a key step in helping their campaign against the Ruling Robes Regime.

      So far, as Protests continue to grow, the Trump Administration is bolstering these Protestors and we decide if it will lead while Backing Regime Change in Iran. The Iranian Regime-Obama Administration Secret Deal has been issuing a waiver barring U.S. Sanctions on the IRIB, but come August and November Trump Administration will soon decide to move forward with these Sanctions. This U.S. Action that will end IRIB will send a message of support to Iranian Dissidents and Protesters against the Islamic Shiia Robes Regime, to begin even more Democratic Allies joining action against the struggling Regime.

      The U.S. State Department so far has declined comment about the IRIB Sanctions and whether they will be waived again or have been waived already, but Secretary Pompeo Major Policy Address this Weekend will throw U.S. Support behind Iranian Protesters Dissident Voices and Europe British, French, and Arabia will Fund Firm Action against the IRIB throughout Persia. The IRIB has Evaded Sanctions since 2013 when the Obama inked the Secret Deal with Iran for the Nuclear Agreement, but Iran was caught in violating it.

      This will be the more Proof that Trump Administration Secretary Pompeo’s Adviser of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies is the Beginning of the End by standing with the Persian People by ending the IRIB Propaganda Foundation of the Robe’s Regime Power. This will enable the Voices of Protesters to grow stronger while the Robe’s Regime Voices of Disinformation will be more quiet until it is silent for the good of New Persia Republic.

    If the “1974 accord permits Syrian air flights over Israel’s Golan border,” then something is very wrong with that “accord” (or Debka has erred in its interpretation). Besides Syrian and Iranian fascists and terror groups do not abide by any “accords.” In times of war (and Syria is still officially at war with Israel) no accords have any meaning or significance. If Syria wants to sit down and talk about borders and peace and ending their endless hate and war against Israel, then they know who to contact and what to say and do. For now, Israel must treat all incoming drones and aircraft as enemy combatants and protect its borders and citizens.

Furthermore, its the Palestinians who are not willing to accept the existence of the state of Israel and creating the problem by not accepting their defeat. Back then, Palestinians decidet to ally with Nazi-Germany and these axis of evil lost the conflict. They have no position to make any claims.

      Iran wont be ‘coming’ to Israel. Syria wont be getting the Golan ‘back’. What they will both be getting is another trouncing. It is in a way, difficult to understand what they are actually trying to achieve. With respect, none of Israel’s enemies have the collective capacity to attempt to defeat it without being obliterated one way or the other, themselves. Israel has its weaknesses, but has had many years to prepare for this day too. Whether people choose to accept it or not, a Syrian-Iranian-Hezbollah success will not be allowed. I think you know this, Its understandable as sometimes wishing and hoping about something can make a person feel better.

    Justification may become the issue. If Israel agreed to some level of give an take based on the 1973 document, then they are waiting for justification to show the world that it was not their actions that lead to conflict in the area Being able to detect and estimate what level of true combat forces Syria has in the area is easy. That will allow the IDF to anticipate what actions may be needed. By the way, a few young men in uniform, driving around in Tanks and other combat vehicles doesn’t constitute a real “Combat Force”. What Assad and Iran have place in that area looks impressive to those looking on with no military, leadership, background, but, to the IDF, it’s nothing more than a wide field of targets. Syria and Iran or Hezbollah have not , “Integrated Combat” capability. They have no training for such events. They have not formal schools to teach their so called military commanders the concept integration. Controlled, “fires” with anything they own is not even possible and all one has to do is watch the footage of them in action to know it’s worthless on the battlefield. Yes, they can scare civilians and young boys with automatic rifles or RPGs, but to the IDF or any other modern military, this group on the border in Southern Syria is nothing more than a Mad Max movie. So, if the IDF is order to engage this “group”, it will be based on one of two options. Destroy it or send a message and wait for the political response.

Real Israel would have at least all the tribes and there boundaries. And Israel was not at all Jewish according to the Torah. The real Israel… Will be when God has destroyed this current Israel. And replaces it… With a new people. And a new Israel… Enjoy… Grab some popcorn. And watch the show… Oh don’t forget to grab a boat. You know what the Bible says…

    Wrong Debka. Any “Syrian” aircraft that crosses Line B is immediately at risk of being shot down by Israel.

    Just wait for a syrian drone entering Israeli airspace. Take it as casus beli and gain some territory which was held before by IDF and by the way gain even more.
    The Syrians are weak strategic outlooks should be ALL in Istaeli hands in order to protect the population of Israel.
    If not now when then?

    Israel has been looking to the wrong people and side for guarantees of not having Hezbollah and the Shiite militias and Iran on its borders by going to Russia and Assad for these assurances. Iran is the payer of all of them so that it is calling the shots. The only ones who would have been able to prevent the Iranians from coming close to the border would have been the Syrian rebels with the right help but Israel blew this opportunity because of Russian false promises.

    Obadiah 1:18
    Judah is in Israel.
    Joseph is America.

    18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it.

    Israel lost the war. Nobody including Russians could not stop Iranians reaching Israeli border. Helsinki meeting was about security of Israel

    Israel killed 7 Iranians in T4 airbase a few months ago. Question is if Iranians will stop in border or go after those who killed their owns? That was subject of Helsinki meeting. The fact the Israel did not come out to help its partner put them in a very weak stance. WILL TO FIGHT does not exist

    till their total annihilation – biggest rats first !

    The gang is Mossad is sure despondent over the ass-whoopin delivered to their beloved mercenary heart-eaters, given succor by the settler state’s finest nurses and medics.

    So many words, so much hot air from a land of bed-wetters and bomb shelters.
    Hizbullah destroyed the European squatter colony twice. The squatter army goes two steps into Gaza and tears abound.

    I don’t think the army without soldiers can do much more than kill children with drones and fire missiles at kites!

    Israel cannot shoot down any jets till have crossed the border into Israel and even then they should refrain. Just take your medicine.

    The war of attrition is in progress. Russia has succeeded in achieving goal number one, restoring Assad’s rule.
    Now Putin is pushing even further; assisting Syria by pushing Israel to a tight corner, if anything tightening the rope around Israel for a showdown of some sort.

    While Israel may be genuine for peace and security in giving in to Putin inch by inch, I do not see peace in Putin. There is no security guarantee from Russia
    What is Putin doing on Tal Al-Haraa?

    While this is going on, I do believe Israel is holding on to her cards.

      Sounds like evil hill (Tal Al-Haraa) and Russia sounds like evil shia (Ra shia).

      @talele…………….The time to worry about a Corrective Conflict For Gaza is when Talk in the Media goes Deathly Quiet meaning Israel Leaders and IDF Public Faces reveal the lost of all expression. The More Polite and Mannerly the more Deadly.

      If Israel is gonna into Gaza to end the Hamas Playing their Balloon-Kite-Tires Burning Games the IDF has already learn it will be Play it Right. The IDF knows when to hold ’em, fold ’em, while Hamas knows when walk away or run. As well as, when the time for counting bodies and then pleading a cease fire. This is the ultimate Secret of Surviving that Hamas has learned when to throw away, what to keep because Hamas Record has been a Loser when it comes against IDF directly.

      The best that Hamas Leaders can hope for is to Die in among its sheep and put to sleep. Once the Iran Robes Regime goes Broke or is on its own Iran’s Running to Survive in Tehran Hamas Leaders will Fade Away to Sleep somewhere in the Darkness as well.

      Meanwhile, when it comes to changing Gaza the Best Israel can do is Break Even, until the Palestinians People in Gaza choose the Wisdom of Smart Statehood to be Full Equal good Neighbor, but the way the children keep being taught Hate, Violence, and being Abused in their Schools, Textbooks, and Mosques. It will take a more Generations to learn the Truth about Iran and Hamas Shiia.

      When Faith Is Not Based On Reason It Just Becomes A Misleading Superstition For Reason Is The Natural Organ Of Truth……Abraham learn coming to strange new land that Jehovah Teachings of turning Strangers into Families and Enemies into Friendly Neighbors and Ishmael and Esau Descendants learn the same thing under Allah Teachings. Hamas is full of Hate not Reason!

    After the Yom Kippour war, Israel and the Assad gangsters have become best friends, unfortunately. successive Israeli governments always considered that Papa and Baby Assad were the guarantee of a quiet northern border which is exactly what happened. For over 40 years since 1973, never was a shot was fired at Israel from the Golan and it suited Israel to have the Assad remain in power. Hence the current agreement now with Russia to keep Bashar in power, provided the previous tacit arrangement stays in place. The problem is that the Assads used Lebanon and its proxy Hezbollah to wage indirect war with Israel and that will not stop until Chemical Bashar is removed from power.

    Israel will soon push all these people back to Damascus and settle this dispute forever. Iran is going down next with some bunker busters to their nuclear installations. It is a good thing they built them in the desert so that any radiation will be away from the major population centers. Most of the Iranian people are very friendly and they can’t wait to take their country back from the Ayatollahs.

    My shamouthra mother, who is Persian, was made fun of me all night long. My father, who is an Arab, punched me in the face.

    I hate who I am.

    I hate when my team loses.

    Now I will go to a bomb shelter and cry while wetting the bed.

    EEK—HERE COMES A BOTTLE ROCKET! I’M SO SCARED!!
