The two sides are reportedly working on “repositioning” in this area.
A few days prior, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid made a rare formal statement in which he acknowledged that his nation “launches attacks in Syria in order to secure its lands and repel danger from it.
He emphasised that Tel Aviv “would not permit Tehran to use Syria as a base to supply weapons to Hezbollah” at the time as well.
It is significant that Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes without claiming responsibility against Iranian militia targets or Hezbollah strongholds in the area since the start of the Syrian Civil War in 2011.
Additionally, it has frequently emphasised that it will prohibit the supply of weapons to Hezbollah through Syrian soil and that it will not tolerate an Iranian presence endangering Israel on its northern borders.
Early in 2012, Tehran dispatched Revolutionary Guards troops to assist its ally, Bashar al-Assad, in fending off the armed opposition that was trying to topple him. In addition, it helped numerous Shiite militias.
Under the direction of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Iranian-backed Shiite forces in Afghanistan and Iraq also played a significant combat role.
Hezbollah and the guards relocate their missiles in Syria out of fear of attacks.
