In addition to Turkey's maneuvers, Israel has also intensified its military operations within Syria, reportedly conducting bombings on hundreds of suspected military facilities. Israel's actions, which breach a 1974 UN agreement, stem from a desire to secure its national interests by preventing chemical weapons and military assets from falling into hostile hands amidst the chaos of the Syrian war.
The United States, too, remains active in the region, maintaining a contingent of approximately 900 troops focused on eradicating ISIS remnants. While this may suggest a diminished threat from the extremist group, pockets of ISIS still persist, highlighting the lingering instability and the necessity of continued U.S. involvement in Syria's convoluted security landscape.
