Abstract
The Zionist regime has not only maintained its militant and occupying nature, but has also strengthened it by presenting aggressive strategies, especially after the regional crises of the last decade. Based on this, the aim of the current research is to study and investigate the military movements and activities of the Zionist regime in South West Asia after the Syrian crisis, knowing the situation and the military competition of the countries in the region. The current research is a part of applied research in terms of goal and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. Due to the retrospective study, from library sources and documents, and to complete the unknown, an interview was also conducted with 6 specialists in the issues of the Zionist regime. The findings showed that the Zionist regime has taken macro military strategies for all countries in the region and minor strategies to control and get closer to each country in the region during the last decade. In the past decade, the Zionist regime has had a soft interaction with the countries of Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, Palestine and Saudi Arabia, and on the other hand, it has had the most severe confrontation with the countries of the resistance front, i.e. the Islamic Republic of Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.
