They have border flare ups in the Golan Heights pretty often a few killed, a few wounded probably twice a month or so. Mortar/rocket attacks.
Syria isn't using it's fighters on Israel though they're not advanced enough if that's what you're talking about.

Theres conflict every so often in the Golan Heights. The last time Syria really went at Israel was a few years back in the Lebanon war when they fully supported and armed Hezbollah. Israel has been pissed ever since and targeting Hezbollah members in Syria and Lebanon.
Probably a good thing Israel bombed Assad's nuclear sites in 2007. That crazy fukk may have used nukes on his own people or they could have fallen into the hands of ISIS or some 'moderate' rebel group.
But is the Golan Heights part of Israel and treated as such?
Clashes in disputed territory is much different than blatantly bombing a sovereign nation ( im talking about Israel bombing Syrian nuclear sites, not this current event since Syria isnt really a nation atm)
Israel is using the fog of war to assassinate Hezbollah leadership....they got their ass kicked so bad in 2006 by Hezbollah they dont want to go thru that again when they decide to try to take more land

Whole thing is kinda hazy to me with the Golan Heights I just went back and read some blurbs again. It's pretty clear Israel won't be giving up what they control for various reasons. The interpretation of whose land it is considering sovereignty/administration are ehh. They may technically be in a state of war but there aren't active hostilities at large even though they exchange fire and there are attacks once and awhile in the Golan. Idk about at large besides targeted attacks on Hezbollah/IRG and their arms shipments. With the Syrian Civil War its brought more challenges Vice actually had a short on it within the last year or so. It's very similar to India and Pakistan and their dispute I guess. I think Israel may technically be at war with Hezbollah and Syria so....
Crazy stuff is always happening in Syria because of their position and alignment with Hezbollah and Iran. Right or wrong Israel always seems to justify it. I don't think anything good can come from an armed to the teeth Hezbollah either given their history and the politics of Lebanon. Syria is/was a bully in regards to Lebanon as well.

It's a mess to put it lightly.
Territorial claims
Claims on the territory include the fact that an area in northwestern of the Golan region, delineated by a rough triangle formed by the towns of Banias, Quneitra and the northern tip of the Sea of Galilee, was part of the British Palestine Mandate in which the establishment of a Jewish national home had been promised.[128] In 1923, this triangle in northwestern Golan was ceded to the French Mandate in Syria, but in exchange for this, land areas in Syria and Lebanon was ceded to Palestine, and the whole of the Sea of Galilee which previously had its eastern boundary connected to Syria was placed inside Palestine.[129] Syrians counter that the region was placed in the Vilayet of Damascus as part of Syria under the Ottoman boundaries and that the 1920 British-Franco agreement which had placed part of the Golan under the control of Britain was only temporary and that the final border line drawn up in 1923, which excluded the Golan triangle, had superseded it,[128] although Syria has never recognised the 1923 border as legally binding.
Borders, armistice line and ceasefire line

One of the aspects of the dispute involves the existence prior to 1967 of three different lines separating Syria from the area that between 1948 and 1967 was referred to as Mandatory Palestine.
The 1923 boundary between British Mandatory Palestine and the French Mandate of Syria was drawn with water in mind.[130] Accordingly, it was demarcated so that all of the Sea of Galilee, including a 10-meter wide strip of beach along its northeastern shore, would stay inside Mandatory Palestine. From the Sea of Galilee north to Lake Hula the boundary was drawn between 50 and 400 meters east of the upper Jordan River, keeping that stream entirely within Mandatory Palestine. The British also received a sliver of land along the Yarmouk River, out to the present-day Hamat Gader.[131]
During the Arab-Israeli War, Syria captured various areas of the formerly British controlled Mandatory Palestine, including the 10-meter strip of beach, the east bank of the upper Jordan, as well as areas along the Yarmouk.
While negotiating the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Israel called for the removal of all Syrian forces from the former Palestine territory. Syria refused, insisting on an armistice line based not on the 1923 international border but on the military status quo. The result was a compromise. Under the terms of an armistice signed on 20 July 1949, Syrian forces were to withdraw east of the old Palestine-Syria boundary. Israeli forces were to refrain from entering the evacuated areas, which would become a demilitarised zone, "from which the armed forces of both Parties shall be totally excluded, and in which no activities by military or paramilitary forces shall be permitted."[132] Accordingly, major parts of the armistice lines departed from the 1923 boundary and protruded into Israel. There were three distinct, non-contiguous enclaves—in the extreme northeast to the west of Banias, on the west bank of the Jordan River near Lake Hula, and the eastern-southeastern shores of the Sea of Galilee extending out to Hamat Gader, consisting of 66.5 square kilometres (25.7 sq mi) of land lying between the 1949 armistice line and the 1923 boundary, forming the demilitarised zone.[130]
Following the armistice, both Israel and Syria sought to take advantage of the territorial ambiguities left in place by the 1949 agreement. This resulted in an evolving tactical situation, one "snapshot" of which was the disposition of forces immediately prior to the Six-Day War, the “line of June 4, 1967”.[130]
Shebaa Farms
On 7 June 2000, the demarcation Blue Line was established by the UN in order to ensure full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, according to UN Security Council Resolution 425. After Israeli troops left Lebanese soil, the UN announced the resolution had been respected. However, Lebanon continues to claim a small portion of the area occupied by Israel and administered as part of the Golan Heights. The territory, known as the Shebaa Farms, measures 22 square kilometres (8.5 sq mi) and lies on the border between Lebanon and the Golan Heights. Maps used by the UN in demarcating the Blue Line were not able to conclusively show the border between Lebanon and Syria in the area. Syria agrees that the Shebaa Farms are within Lebanese territory; however, Israel considers the area to be inside of Syria's borders and continues to occupy the territory.[133][134][135]
Golan Heights is occupied territory. But Israel will never give it up. The plan was to get rid of the Damascus government, have Syria become a carbon copy of Somalia while Israel could annex the Hauran region next to the Golan, which is full of Druze that can be assimilated. It has some of the best farmland and potential oil deposits in Syria. But with Assad re-taking much of the population centers and still having some legitimacy, this won't happen.
The Golan border is one of the most important supply points for the rebels.
