Israeli forces have expanded their presence in southern Syria following the collapse of Bashar Assad's regime, establishing military posts and carrying out home demolitions, arrests, and land seizures. Rights monitors and local residents report widespread abuses, including forced displacement, destruction of property, and severe restrictions on access to farmland, with Human Rights Watch accusing Israel of possible war crimes. Israeli officials claim these measures are necessary for security, but analysts warn that the strategy entrenches instability, undermines Syrian sovereignty, and risks fueling further regional conflict. The situation has deepened divisions, hindered prospects for peace, and left many Syrians facing poverty and displacement amid ongoing military operations and political uncertainty.
