In less than 48 hours, the IDF destroyed almost everything that remained of the Syrian army - a hostile country with a history of severe wars against Israel.
Noam Amir, Channel 14's military commentator, believes that although it is not clear where Syria is headed in the post-Assad era, what is clear is that whoever ever takes control of the bleeding country will doubtless succeed in rebuilding the army that we are destroying in the coming years.
The IDF is careful not to brag about the achievement, but there is no doubt that such a military operation did not occur, and it is doubtful that anyone expected throughout the war that it would one day occur.
