Deep dives
Israeli Military Operations in Syria
Israeli military operations in Syria have increased, indicating a shift from prior tactics focused on preventing Hezbollah from arming itself. Repeated strikes on Hezbollah positions have been documented, demonstrating Israel's intent to disrupt weapon shipments and intelligence operations linked to Iranian support for Hezbollah. The Israeli military recently took explicit responsibility for multiple attacks, a departure from previous policy where actions against the regime often went unclaimed. This change in reporting suggests that Israel is now more determined to achieve its objectives in Syria while ensuring that Hezbollah capabilities are significantly diminished.
