Weaponising Water: Israel Assumes Control Over The Al-Mantara Dam In Syria

Israeli military forces have established fortified positions and developed advanced military infrastructure in various locations within the Quneitra countryside of Syria. Since December 24, these forces have achieved considerable control over the Al-Mantara Dam, a crucial water resource in the region, which could have significant repercussions for both Syria and its neighbouring country, Jordan.
The Al-Mantara Dam is not only a key water supply for Quneitra, but also for its adjacent rural areas, and the Daraa Governorate. Reports from the local population indicate that movement in and out of the occupied territories is severely restricted, with Israeli forces enforcing regulated schedules for civilian access.
This manoeuvre by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) bears a striking resemblance to a well-documented strategy previously employed by the Islamic State (IS) in Syria and Iraq, where IS utilized water resources to advance its military and political objectives by seizing control of major dams and reservoirs along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers as part of their territorial expansion.
Tobias von Lossow, a doctoral researcher at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, SWP Middle East and Africa Division, authored a compelling study entitled “Water as Weapon: IS on the Euphrates and Tigris”. In this work, he explores the strategic significance of dams and reservoirs to the Islamic State (IS).
Extract from Lossow 2016 study:
“[i]n the sense of military tools, “Water as Weapon” – is much more complex and primarily serves to put pressure on the population and the opponents’ political leadership. Drastic interventions in water and electricity supplies are meant to break resistance and gain the support of the population by force, or else drive it out. The aim can also be to destroy agriculture and food production and render whole areas uninhabitable.”
In 2023, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN Human Rights) highlighted Israel’s use of “Water as a Weapon,” raising concerns about the potential for history to repeat itself.

Introduction
Israel has launched an invasion (October 7, 2023) of the Gaza Strip.
As outlined by Felicity Arbuthnot with foresight 10 years ago in a December, 30 2013 article:
“Israel is set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil, “If All Goes to Plan”.
In the current context, Israel’s “All Goes to Plan” option consists in bypassing Palestine and “Wiping Gaza off the Map” , as well confiscating ALL Gaza’s maritime offshore gas reserves, worth billions of dollars.
The ultimate objective is not only to exclude Palestinians from their homeland, it consists in confiscating the multi-billion dollar Gaza offshore Natural Gas reserves, namely those pertaining to the BG (BG Group) in 1999 , as well the Levant discoveries of 2013.
Update. Israel’s Secret Intelligence Memorandum
An official “secret” memorandum authored by Israel’s Ministry of Intelligence “is recommending the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula”, namely to a refugee camp in Egyptian territory. There are indications of Israel-Egypt negotiations as well as consultations with the U.S.
The 10-page document, dated Oct. 13, 2023, bears the logo of the Intelligence Ministry … assesses three options regarding the future of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip … It recommends a full population transfer as its preferred course of action. … The document, whose authenticity was confirmed by the ministry, has been translated into English in full here on +972.

Why is WHO vaccinating so many Gazans, multiple times?
Information about covid vaccination programmes in Gaza is scant. The World Health Organisation (“WHO”) doesn’t provide clear data and available information often combines Gaza and the West Bank as “Palestine.” In short, details of the aid being sent to Gaza is shrouded in mystery.
Before 7 October 2023, covid vaccination rates in Gaza were low; initially 5% and at the last count up to 40% of the population had been vaccinated while WHO said that at least 60%-70% of the population must be vaccinated.
From the scant information available, it is clear there has been a concerted effort, particularly by WHO, to push for covid vaccinations in Gaza, despite the population being vaccine-hesitant.
Following WHO’s covid vaccine drive, there was a polio vaccine drive. The vaccines used are novel oral polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV2), which was developed with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to combat the polio emergency created by the previous oral polio vaccine.
Since the war began on 7 October 2023, an estimated 5,800,000 vaccine doses have been delivered into Gaza which has a population of around two million. Of the total, it is said about 4,800,000 doses are polio vaccines. By mid-October 2024, 95% of Gaza’s children under the age of 10 had been vaccinated at least twice in that year.
Polio was eradicated from Gaza 25 years ago. WHO’s massive polio vaccination campaign was justified by one polio case in Gaza in July 2024.
‘Humanity buried as children die’: UNICEF’s global spokesperson condemns Gaza violence

James Elder, UNICEF’s global spokesperson, expressed profound distress over the ongoing violence in Gaza, where over 15,000 children have been killed in 15 months. He described the harrowing scenes of families digging through rubble with bare hands, saying, "Humanity is being buried whilst the world watches children being killed again in Gaza." Elder condemned the blockade of humanitarian aid, noting that essential supplies like vaccines, ventilators, and water are stuck just kilometres away, while children die from preventable causes. He stressed that international humanitarian law is being "breached again and again," with UN facilities and workers also targeted. Elder called for an immediate ceasefire, urging those in power to prioritise children’s lives, stating, "It should not be hard to centre the world’s attention on ending these horrors."
