According to Kan-11 news, the Western intelligence community has concluded that the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah has begun transferring fighters to Syria to protect its infrastructure in the north of that country, because there is a fear that opposition militants will seize the facilities. belonging to Iran and Hezbollah.
Israel believes that what is happening in Syria will help maintain the ceasefire in Lebanon. Hezbollah’s attention is focused on the Syrian events. It is also expected that this will have a positive impact on the IDF’s freedom of action in Syria, since the Russian military will be preoccupied with saving the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
At the same time, Kan-11 military observer Itai Blumenthal emphasizes that in the long term, Syrian events could lead to dramatic destabilization of the region, as this will lead to an increase in the Iranian presence in Syria.
In addition, we should not forget that the militants who opposed the Assad regime were followers of the extremist ideology of Al-Qaeda, and the appearance of jihadists on the Israeli border also poses a threat to Israel.
