Amidst escalating tensions in the Israel-Hamas conflict, a senior Israeli official has accused Iran of attempting to deploy weapons in Syria, aiming to open a new war front in northern Israel. Israeli diplomat Joshua Zarka confirmed Iran's involvement in arms transfers, responding to reports of Israeli strikes targeting Syria's Aleppo Airport. These strikes, according to experts, indicate Israel's determination to preempt Iran's strategic weapons movement through Syria. This revelation follows reports of Iranian support for Hamas, raising concerns of a broader Middle East conflict. Iran's foreign minister warned of dire consequences if Hezbollah joins, threatening Israel with a "huge earthquake."
