Just yesterday I was wondering when the last time was that the Middle East had a period of peace. I know it hasn't been in my lifetime.

It was getting pretty quiet leading up to the moment Assad was deposed.

Assad was deposed more than a year after the start of the current Israel/Gaza flare up, which has included conflict in Lebanon and Yemen. He was also deposed nearly 14 years into the Syrian Civil War.
