When half the countries on the planet conspired against the small country Syria, many, including Syria's own allies, thought it's a matter of weeks at most the country will collapse, or face Libya's fate and eventually collapse.
When weeks, then months passed and there was no sign the Syrian Armed Forces would defect or split, the bet was upped to astronomical figures, Qatar and Saudi alone spent until 2017 in excess of 138 billion US dollars of their wealth to finance the US-led War of Terror against Syria, yet the Syrian state not only remained steadfast, it turned the tide of the war to its favor, especially when the USA formed its illegal coalition of evil countries thus the Syrian President Assad called on the Russians to come.
Taking in consideration the cost on the Syrian people to defend their country a member on Quora put this question, back in May: Is Syria still a threat to Israel?
I believe after the latest advances in Idlib, NATO's last stronghold of terrorists in northwest Syria, the answer is easier, however, my reply to him there on Quora remains very much relevant. I'll copy the answer here to preserve it from Quora's moderators and share with new readers who might have missed to get a better understanding on future conflicts:
If there’s any real military threat to Israel is the Syrian Arab Army. It has proved to be the most formidable army in the region, if not beyond.
No other army could stand an asymmetric warfare waged against it by more than 100 countries including the superpower and super rich, at least not for more than a couple of weeks.
No other army stayed mostly unified throughout over 8 years, despite its enemies spent hundreds of billions of US dollars to destroy it, two countries alone spent $138 billion up to 2017, as per the confession of the Qatari former prime minister in a TV interview to defeat the SAA.
No other army could fight at the time of highest tensions over 40 fronts daily all over the country against the world’s filthiest filth the anti-Islamic Wahhabi suicide bombers, who with the help of Turkey, Saudi, Qatar, CIA, France, UK, along with many others, including Russia if you may, managed to smuggle into Syria in excess of 350,000 foreign terrorists of the likes of ISIS and al-Qaeda Levant aka Nusra Front.
One single armed terrorist of these groups put the entire French law enforcement agencies plus their army and national guards on alert until they shot him down with over 300 bullets…
One single ‘suspected to be armed’ terrorist put the entire city of Boston under lock down for 24 hours and all the US law enforcements went after him.
Imagine having over 350,000 of them in the country and imagine they’re not ‘lone wolves’, they’re actually backed by the USA which acted as ISIS Air Force in Syria, Israel, which acted as al-Qaeda sponsors in Syria, Turkey, which acted as the caring mother of all the terrorist groups under the FSA umbrella.
No other army was systematically demonized by all western mainstream media, the Pentagon propagandists and warmongers, along with their regional stooges, and wasn’t affected.
No other army than the SAA is as battle-hardened army in the whole world, fighting for over 8 years against all of NATO with all their mights, all the Gulfies, and all the world’s trash. No other army fought in all terrains, all weather conditions, all sides of the country and inside the country, using old modernized weapons, fighting what journalist Robert Fisk described few years ago ‘unwinnable battles’ and winning it.
Keep in mind that Russia joined end of 2015, and only offers aerial assistance in the face of ISIS air force, so from early 2011 the SAA was alone.
Such an army poses great military threat to Israel, which its IDF terrorists were defeated in a very humiliating manner by the tiny Hezbollah group that time in 2006.
Israeli IDF terrorists weeping their lost colleagues who were wiped out by Hezbollah south of Lebanon 2006.
But what poses a greater existential threat to Israel is the fact that Syria is the only secular country in the region. All other countries and entities are sectarian and ethnic based. Thus Israel could survive in such sectarian, radical religious, and ethnically separated environment as a ‘Jewish State’, but cannot survive when its direct neighbor it’s in a state of war with is secular and secularism is as contagious as sectarianism.
End of my reply there
Now add the latest achievements in cleaning the strategic city of Khan Sheikhoun from NATO terrorists, the hill town of Al-Hobait, the bombing of the NATO member state Turkey's military convoys and the warnings to Turkish and US forces to not try to protect Al-Qaeda any more.
