Eye on the Middle East | Why did Israel attack the Iranian Consulate in Syria?

Hindustan Times  

On September 6, 2007, four Israeli F-16 jets flew deep into Syria, evaded Syrian air defences and struck what was purportedly an under-construction nuclear facility in the Deir-al-Zour province, about 450 km north-east of Damascus. The Netanyahu gambit While Israel’s attacks against Iranian targets in Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq have waxed and waned in recent years, it has come closest to striking Iran proper with the attack on the Consulate. Given the centrality of the Gaza war to Netanyahu’s political survival amidst unprecedented international and domestic pressure, drawing Iran into full-scale hostilities with Israel would fundamentally change the dynamics of the war. On the other hand, the variables which pushed the United States to scale down its diplomatic support for Israel’s Gaza war, might possibly be superseded by those which would require it to support a campaign against Iran; this is especially true as the Iraqi militias which Israel has accused for the Eilat attack, have principally targeted the American military in the region across the past year. On the other hand, while Washington’s ties with Israel have been subject to new strains, fresh stressors appeared after an Israeli strike in Gaza killed a number of aid workers from the World Central Kitchen Workers, including one America, drawing a strong reaction from President Biden who asserted that Israel’s investigation into the incident must be “swift…and its findings must be made public”.
