War in Syria

Rebels tell Israel Hayom of victory as historic uprising ends decades of authoritarian rule.

According to Trump's assessment, the dual weakening of Assad's primary international backers – Russia and Iran – has left Syria increasingly isolated.

The Syrian opposition has reported the capture of several villages and cities in the region. Meanwhile, the office of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad denies rumors claiming he has fled the country. 

Rebel forces advancing toward Damascus have reported they are beginning to encircle the capital. Sources told CNN that Bashar al-Assad is nowhere to be found in the city.

The Syrian dictator seeks Iraqi support amid rebel advances in central Syria.

Israel Hayom has learned Jerusalem will not tolerate major arm shipments from the Iranian regime as Syrian civil war intensifies, for fear they could reach the Lebanese theater.

Week into rebel offensive in north, crumbling state faces new eastern front as US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces battle Assad army and pro-Iranian militias. Their gains could impact Iranian weapons corridor and, consequently, Israel.

The deployment, first reported by the Associated Press, comes as opposition fighters led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham launched a significant offensive, pushing into areas around Idlib and Hama provinces while seizing portions of Aleppo, Syria's largest city.

Following the offensive led by Tahrir al-Sham, Israeli officials believe that Assad is permitting Iranian forces into Syria to assist against the rebels. This development could have a direct impact on Israel’s northern front.
