Israel Assassinates Senior Official in Hezbollah-Affiliated Unit in Syria
-
Intensification of Israeli raids in Syria and Lebanon indicates a comprehensive strategy to weaken Hezbollah's capabilities and cut off its supply lines
The Israeli army announced on Wednesday the execution of an airstrike that led to the assassination of Adham Jahout, a senior official in Hezbollah's "Golan File" unit in Syria. The attack took place in the Quneitra area, where an Israeli Air Force plane targeted the site under the direction of Division 210.
According to the statement issued by the Israeli army, Jahout was responsible for collecting and transferring intelligence information from the Syrian front to Hezbollah, with the aim of carrying out operations against Israel in the Golan Heights. This assassination comes in the context of ongoing Israeli efforts to target what it describes as "terrorist targets" in Syria.
Since the outbreak of the Syrian conflict in 2011, Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes inside Syrian territory, targeting sites belonging to Syrian regime forces and Iranian targets, as well as Hezbollah positions. In recent days, Israel has intensified its airstrikes in Syria and also targeted the border crossing connecting Lebanon and Syria.
This operation comes as part of the ongoing Israeli escalation against Hezbollah. Since the start of its intensive raids in Lebanon on September 23, Israel has emphasized its determination to prevent the party from transferring "combat means" from Syria to Lebanon.
This development raises fears of a possible expansion of the confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah and may lead to further escalation in the region. It also highlights the complexities of the security situation in Syria and the overlap between various regional parties in the ongoing conflict.
