Security source says Israeli strike near Damascus killed Hezbollah liaison with Syrian army: Report
An Israeli air strike on a car near Syria’s capital, Damascus, killed a senior Hezbollah figure responsible for liaising with the Syrian army, a Lebanese security source told Reuters.
Syria’s state news agency had reported the strike on the airport road but did not offer details on casualties.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. Israel rarely acknowledges its strikes in Syria, where it has carried out a years-long air campaign against Iranian military assets and those of its allies, including Hezbollah.
Netanyahu has warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that he was “playing with fire” by allowing Iran to transfer weapons to its allies via Syria.
Al-Assad is losing grip on the country anyway. Maybe it will get better in Syria with less Russian and Iranian influence, maybe worse :/
Israel confirms killing Hezbollah liaison
Israeli forces has confirmed on Telegram that they killed a killed a senior Hezbollah figure responsible for liaising with the Syrian army.
“The Syrian regime supports Hezbollah and allows the organisation to exploit it for transfers of weapons to the Lebanese arena, thereby endangering the citizens of Syria and Lebanon,” a Israeli army spokesperson said.
The spokesperson added that the killed individual “was a significant and active figure in Syria, and his elimination constitutes an injury to the connection and establishment of the terrorist organisation Hezbollah in Syria and the prevention of the strengthening of Hezbollah.”

It all depends on what happens with this new coalition after (if) they succeed taking over the country.
