Part 2/6:
Dr. Moar explains that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to expand military operations into Syria stems primarily from a security imperative. Following the collapse of the Assad government, jihadist groups, particularly one named "Sham," have emerged as significant threats. This group openly states its intentions: after capturing Damascus, they aspire to seize Jerusalem and eliminate the Israeli state. Dr. Moar emphasizes that Israel’s actions are grounded in self-defense; they are driven by the need to prevent advanced weapons, which could fall into the hands of jihadists, from being used against Israeli citizens.
