The disputed territory is a de jure Syrian territory under de facto Israeli Occupation and Civil Administration: the Golan Heights. The Golan Heights are a Syrian Mountain Range and hill-country just north of western Jordan. This territory is small, but strategic, giving Israel a position where Syria cannot take military advantage of it. Currently, UNDOF monitors the border between the Golan Heights and Syria.

NO. Syria and Israel had been negotiating prior to the Arab Spring of 2011 to have a peace treaty. The particular thorn in the negotiations was not really the Golan Heights, as Israel was willing to concede that, but the 5 square kilometer area that was part of the British Mandate of Palestine in 1947 and was Syrian-Occupied in 1949. This small piece of land gave Syria direct access to the Sea of Galilee, something Israel wants to prevent Syria from accessing.

Both countries have not been able to reach a peace agreement on the status of the region.
How is bombing Syria in favor of Israel?
Answer 1It could go either way. One the one hand, it would send a clear message that non-conventional weapons will not be tolerated.On the other hand, it could be used by terrorist or militant groups to fire missiles at Israel.Answer 2Bombing Syria has nothing to do with Israel. The United States does carry out some activities and policies that have no connection with Israel, you know.Unfortunately, though, WHATEVER happens in Syria cannot be good for Israel.Do you remember back to the Gulf War in 1991 ? That was a war waged by a coalition force from 34 nations, authorized by the United Nations and led by the United States against Iraq, in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. When the coalition's forces entered Kuwait and began to drive the Iraqis back, missiles began to rain down on Israel, which just goes to show the kind of reasoning and mental processes that go on among some in that part of the world.Answer 3Bombing Syria is not in Israel's favor. The Syrian Civil War will not naturally escalate beyond the borders of Syria. The Israeli-Syrian border and the Turkish-Syrian border are well patrolled. However, if the US bombs Syria, it has the potential to expand the war. Iran has threatened that if the US attacks Syria (which is an Iranian proxy), Iran will respond by targetting Israel with conventional missiles (since Israel is an American proxy according to the Iranians).Answer 4The answer is yes and no Bombing Syria is in favor of Israel in that it may result in:Destroying the Syria's capacity to attack Israel at any time in order to regain the Golan Heights occupied by Israel since the sixties of last centuryDestroying the chemical weapon capacity of Syria and thus having Israel remain as the only country in the region with weapons of mass destruction.Partitioning Syria into smaller entities that could be more easily controlled and that would remain in conflicts and mutual attacks (the same way as currently in Iraq).However, it may not be in favor of Israel in that it may result in an overall disturbances in the area with interference of Iran and Turkey that may result in attacks on Israel with missiles or other weapons.(Refer to the discussion area for the view point of a Shia Muslim)
