Israel has intensified covert strikes in Syria against weapons sites, supply routes, and Iranian-linked commanders, according to seven regional officials and diplomats. This escalation comes amid increasing Israeli threats of a major military operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon. The focus has also turned to Damascus to assess Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's potential role in the conflict. There is speculation on whether al-Assad will provide military support to Hezbollah, similar to his actions in 2006, or maintain a neutral stance as seen during the Gaza conflict. The situation is being closely monitored as it could potentially lead to a full-scale war.
