On July 16, 2025, Israeli missiles struck deep inside Syria targeting the Ministry of Defense, military buildings, and even sites near the Presidential Palace in Damascus. The international media reported it as another “strike against terror.” But those paying close attention see a deeper truth:
Israel is attacking the same regime it once helped rise to power.

This is not a mistake.
This is a long-planned psychological and geopolitical strategy designed not to support peace but to fracture Syria, destabilize resistance, and divide the Muslim world.

From One Tyranny to Another: Syria’s Political Mirage

Let’s be clear: Bashar al-Assad. Syria’s former president, was no hero. His government was responsible for years of repression, war crimes, and silencing of dissent. He ruled with an iron fist—and no sincere Muslim denies the suffering Syrians faced under him.

But what followed wasn’t true liberation.

The current regime, including factions like HTS (Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham) and later transitional power holders, came into prominence not purely through local uprising—but through foreign support, including from Israel. This was not because Israel wanted a free Syria, but because it wanted a weakened Syria. One where Iranian influence would shrink, resistance would scatter, and a new regime would serve Western and Zionist interests more quietly.

Now, with that goal partly achieved, Israel has turned on the very forces it once enabled—bombing Damascus, assassinating leaders, and blocking political stabilization.

The world sees airstrikes—but behind them lies a plan to keep Syria broken.

The Illusion of Resistance: How Israel Plays Both Camps

Here’s the psychological game:

  • Israel exaggerated Assad’s crimes in the media to justify regime change.
  • Then, it strategically supported HTS and other elements to weaken Assad.
  • Now, it attacks the new regime, under the excuse of fighting “terrorism,” creating the illusion that it opposes both.

This tactic has deeply confused the Muslim world, dividing the Ummah into two:

  • Pro-HTS Muslims see Israeli airstrikes and think, “HTS must be righteous if Israel is attacking them.”
  • Anti-HTS Muslims point to Israel’s earlier support and say, “HTS are puppets—they serve Zionist goals.”

The result? Muslims divided, Syria destroyed. Israel unchecked.

What we fail to realize is that both regimes were used. The old was demonized for its brutality. The new was installed through manipulation -and when no longer useful, discarded.

This Is Not Just Syria. This Is a Pattern.

Syria is not the only victim of this strategy. This is how Israel operates across the Muslim world:

  • In Gaza, they target Hamas while supporting corrupt alternatives behind the scenes.
  • In Lebanon, they provoke Hezbollah while engaging friendly factions in backdoor deals.
  • In the Gulf, they normalize relations with monarchies while pushing them to oppose Iran.
  • In Iran, they provoke war while getting airspace and logistic support from Muslim countries.

This is not just foreign policy—it’s a Greater Israel strategy:
Break resistance, install controllable regimes, keep Muslims divided and weak.

The Role of Muslim Countries: Silence Is Complicity

It’s one thing for Israel to attack. It’s another for Muslim leaders to cheer from the sidelines.

When Israel bombed Iran months ago, not one Muslim country stood with Iran.
Instead:

  • Saudi Arabia and Syria gave Israeli jets airspace.
  • Jordan and UAE intercepted Iranian missiles meant to defend Muslim lands.
  • Qatar, Morocco, and Oman deepened ties with Israeli officials—all while Gaza was burning.

Just weeks ago, in Tel Aviv’s Tanaver Square, a massive digital billboard proudly displayed the faces of Gulf and Arab leaders from Saudi Arabia to the UAE, from Qatar to Oman—under the slogan “Abraham Alliance.”
They were being celebrated—not for their faith—but for their loyalty to Zionist expansion.

And what did they get in return?
Nothing but weapons, oil contracts, and silence.

The Real War Is Not Just Physical—It’s Psychological

Israel doesn’t just destroy buildings—it destroys narratives. It doesn’t just kill people—it kills clarity.

When it bombs the very regimes it once supported, it forces Muslims into confusion:

  • “Is HTS good or bad?”
  • “Is Assad better or worse?
  • “If Israel attacks this group, does that make them resistance?”

Neither Assad’s tyranny nor HTS’s foreign-funded rise was meant to free Syria. Both were used. Both served different stages of Israel’s long-term strategy.

And the more confused we become, the stronger that strategy succeeds.

The Real Enemy Is Within Our Ranks

Let us be brutally honest:

Israel alone cannot destroy the Muslim world.
But Muslim rulers who wear Islamic titles but serve Zionist agendasthey can.

  • Saudi Arabia helps the occupier while claiming to serve the Haramain.
  • UAE funds “peace tech” while Israel tests weapons on children.
  • Jordan and Egypt suppress pro-Palestinian voices while hosting Israeli envoys.
  • Syria is kept unstable—not just by Israel—but by its own internal sellouts.

This is the bitter truth:

Before fighting Tel Aviv and Washington, we must expose and remove the collaborators among us.

Conclusion: This Is Not About Regimes—It’s About Truth

The Muslim Ummah must not fall into the trap of choosing between a past dictator and a present puppet.

This is not about defending Assad.
It’s not about endorsing HTS.
It’s about recognizing a larger Zionist strategy that uses our divisions as weapons.

Israel bombed Syria this week—not for peace—but to deepen instability.
It supported the current regime—not for freedom—but to replace one target with another.
It now discards that regime to keep Syria from ever rising again.

And while this happens, our so-called Muslim allies shake hands with Zionist leaders, open their skies, and offer silence as our people are burned alive.

Israel plays both sides—not because it’s confused—but because we are. And until we break this illusion, until we stop defending puppets and start exposing them, we will continue to be bombed, betrayed, and broken.

The only response to this deception is unity, not under a flag, not under a leader, but under La ilaha illallah, the banner of resistance, justice, and honor.
