Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Tuesday that Israeli forces have advanced into some neighborhoods of the town of Hader in the Quneitra countryside, southern Syria. Meanwhile, an Israeli media outlet confirmed that "Israel" has occupied 370 square kilometers of Syrian territory.

The Israeli news site i24NEWS reported that Israeli occupation ground forces have destroyed military positions and assets belonging to the Syrian army in southern Syria.

According to the Israeli occupation's military correspondent Yinon Shalom Yitah, the operation targeted military infrastructure found in the region, which was affiliated with the Syrian army.

The site noted that the actions, authorized by the required armed groups due to the sensitive nature of the mission, were carried out with the help of tank battalions deployed in the area and infantry fighters.

Turmoil ahead: Mearsheimer 

John Mearsheimer, a political science professor and theorist at the University of Chicago, stated during an appearance on Going Underground on Saturday that it is unlikely a "coherent government" will be formed in Damascus anytime soon, one that is capable of controlling the entire country.

“How this all plays out moving forward is almost impossible to say, other than it looks like there will be considerable chaos in Syria for the foreseeable future,” he remarked.

The political science professor at the University of Chicago also referred to the regime change as a "short-term success" for those supporting the opposition, primarily the US.

“We [the US] basically threw our lot in with a number of al-Qaeda and ISIS operatives and they won,” Mearsheimer stated, criticizing the media for attempting to clean up the image of HTS leader Mohammed al-Jolani, who remains "a wanted terrorist" with a $10 million bounty on his head.
