The situation in the East remains tense. In the city of Idlib, Syrian rebels say they intend to head to Al-Numan Cave, a key landmark connecting the capital Damascus to the northern city of Aleppo. This region has traditionally been of key importance in the conflict, controlling important transport routes.
Let us pay attention to the situation in the city of Aleppo, where the rebels announced their intention in the city of Hama, while they continue to be active in the regions.
In this context, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out airstrikes against targets associated with the Hezbollah organization. According to the Israeli side, the attacks were aimed at a military force used to transport army weapons in Lebanon, guaranteeing the terms of a previous agreement to continue the fire. The attacks took place near border crossings between Syria and Lebanon.
In an official statement, the IDF will continue to act to prevent any threat to Israel’s security. Under the agreement approved by Israeli cabinet ministers, IDF forces will temporarily leave Lebanon for 60 days, following a dramatic deployment of Lebanese army forces in the south of the country. Monitoring of the implementation of the agreement will be carried out through centers specially created to prevent the return of Hezbollah military personnel.
The evolution of the situation indicates an ongoing confrontation, in which the main actors seek to maintain or strengthen their positions.
