There's something Morgan Freeman like about Nethenyahu's voice.

This is separate to that. It's more to do with freshwater and newly discovered oil reserves

Of Syria? I don't see how they could use this as justification, nor that they'd care about justifying it anyway.
The bigger concern here is that Syria and Hezbullah may attempt to retake it by force; there were plans to do so last year (I'm not certain how solid those plans were) but Russia negotiated that Hez wouldn't take part in the operations near the Golan and would stay in the north of the country

I kinda feel sorry for the Alawites. They've had a crappy few years.
I hope they don't try to attack the Golan, they'll just wind up getting their ass kicked.

Hez alone has a decent chance of retaking it, it'd rapidly escalate into a regional war though. Then the US, then Russia and maybe China would be drawn in

1. They have their own missile stockpiles, and in this case Syria has a LOT of Soviet Tochka-Us. Keep in mind that during the last attack on Gaza, the vaunted 'Iron Dome' managed to intercept around 5% of the missiles fired at israel, and the majority of those were propane tanks and bike parts loaded with explosives. The new 'David's Sling' system has failed to intercept anything so far.
2. I believe the Syrian AA and ECM network, which actually has been battle-tested over the last 2-3 years, covers the Golan and into israel.
3. There were two major tactical reasons the israelis were driven out of Lebanon in the 2006 war - the first you mentioned, knowledge of the local landscape and guerilla tactics. The other is 'knife-fighting' - in order to neutralise air power, they charge and engage enemy units at such a range that it'd be impossible for air support to reliably attack them without hitting their own positions.
4. Hez morale is much, much higher than the regular israeli army. Expect it to plunge when the mask comes off and they start losing aircraft - most modern militaries rely heavily on air superiority and have no real recourse if it's denied.
I'm not saying they'd necessarily succeed, but I wouldn't rule it out either. Until everyone else joins the party anyway
