Israel is vowing to halt Iran's arms pipeline to Hezbollah as Syrian rebels gain ground. The Security Cabinet is meeting to discuss the situation in Syria following a security assessment by Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi. Russian military presence in Syria has been reduced due to its war in Ukraine, leaving Assad without the same level of support as before. Previously, Russia, Iran, and militias helped stabilize Assad's regime and regain control of most of the country.
