Israel Tracks Syrian Army Movements
Israeli estimates indicate that the Syrian government, led by President Ahmed al-Shir, is working to build an extensive formal military force. The focus is on strengthening the army through arming and forming divisions and military units, extending beyond internal government tasks to potentially establish an regional power. Priority is given to developing military capabilities, with warnings about the scale of resources allocated to this path—resources primarily derived from tax revenues and international aid—at the expense of infrastructure and living conditions. The assessments also suggest that the next target could be directed against Hezbollah and Shia factions in Iraq, with the possibility that its focus might later shift to Israel, especially as the American presence in the region diminishes. Meanwhile, Damascus seeks to enable its forces discreetly and continuously, even as Syria receives European support in its efforts to rebuild and stabilize.
