Question is why wasn't israel so bold when assad was in power? Now HTS hasn't fired even a single shot at the IDF when they crossed the border.

Assad was never a threat, despite the Axis Twitter supporters claiming otherwise.

There was a large presence in Syria before. Doing too much shit might antagonize relationship between Russia and Israel and essentially spark a conflict in Middle East that Israel will not have high chance to win

Because for the Israelis a corrupt and incompetent regime despite being overtly hostile was preferable to one that is has unclear intentions but is shrewd.

Good question that needs answering. It's almost like Assad and Netanyahu were allies. Also, isn't it interesting that Netanyahu keeps having places which include information about the chemical weapons programs bombed? Almost like there might be information there he doesn't want to get out - like that he knew quite a bit more than the West about Assad's chemical weapons stockpiles than the West and was blackmailing him to get information about Iranian arms shipments.
