The Syrian army has clashed with Hezbollah following the murder of three Syrian soldiers who were ambushed, kidnapped, and taken into Lebanon. The Syrian Defence Ministry has accused Hezbollah of the incident and has taken measures to counter the escalation. In response, the Syrian army has shelled Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, a Hezbollah stronghold. The clashes come as analysts point to Israel's victory over Hezbollah in 2024 as a factor in the collapse of the Assad regime.
