Israeli officials are bracing for a potential collapse of the syrian regime lead by Bashar al-Assad, citing a mass exodus of Syrian soldiers and a loss of control over the border with Israel.
According to senior Israeli officials quoted by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, the situation in Syria represents a “dramatic shift” that could reshape the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East.
“Tel Aviv is preparing for a complete collapse of the Assad regime,” the officials stated, highlighting the critically important movement of regime soldiers fleeing throughout Syria. They further emphasized that the Assad regime has effectively lost control of the border with Israel, which is now largely under the control of opposition forces.
Israeli officials believe that while Hezbollah has deployed a symbolic force to Syria, it is unlikely to be able to salvage Assad’s regime. They also noted a lack of ample intervention from Iran, Russia, or hezbollah in the ongoing conflict.
Maariv newspaper, citing Israeli intelligence sources, reported a high probability of the Syrian regime falling in Damascus following the rapid advance of armed opposition forces.
The Jerusalem Post reported that the Israeli army has taken the unusual step of deploying additional air and ground forces to the Golan Heights. This reinforcement comes in response to the escalating internal conflict in syria. The Israeli army, which maintains a presence along the border and closely monitors developments, stated that it is prepared for all potential offensive and defensive scenarios.
Adding to the tension,the Israeli army conducted airstrikes on chemical weapons storage facilities in Syria on Friday. Israeli Channel 12 reported that the strikes were carried out “for fear that the rebels would reach them.”
