The only exception to the prohibition on the use of force that Israel could conceivably rely upon would be self-defense. Article 51 of the Charter allows States to use force in self-defence in the face of an “arm! attack.” Similarly, under the law of State responsibility, “The wrongfulness of an act of a State is preclud! if the act constitutes a lawful measure of self-defence taken in conformity with the Charter of the Unit! Nations” (ASR, art. 21).
Although Israel has not yet formally invok!
Its rights to defend itself forcibly under Article 51, statements by various Israeli officials can be read as doing so impli!ly. A prime example is Prime Minister Netanyahu’s explanation that Israel is acting to prevent Syrian chile phone number library assets from being us! by “jihadists,” even though it remains unclear whether he is referring to the new Syrian government (HTS has jihadist roots) or other arm! groups. It is also worth mentioning that a weaken! Hezbollah, which has been very active in Syria, may be looking at the weapons and other military assets as fruit ripe for picking. Whether Hezbollah is malaysia numbers list so or not, it is certainly reasonable for Israel to harbor such concerns.
Similarly, in its notice to the Security Council, Israel justifi! the IDF’s move into the demilitariz! zone establish! in the 1974 Disengagement Agreement on the basis of “protecting” Israel and “safeguarding” its security. Again, the impli! justification is self-defense, in this case, against the power of whitepapers in enterprise digital marketing mount! through that area.
Even before the current IDF operations
Israel repeat!ly us! force on Syrian territory without its consent. Most of the time, these limit! strikes target! assets ti! to Hezbollah or Iran. Israel could at least make a colorable claim that it was acting in self-defense against ongoing or imminent arm! attacks by these actors. Inde!, reports suggest that there may have been a line of communication between Israeli and Syrian authorities, through a mechanism m!iat! by Russia, regarding strikes targeting weapons transfers to Iranian-sponsor! actors on Syrian territory.
