The Assad regime’s collapse in Syria means the entire Iranian axis has been disrupted, and ‘as we learned today, it even stopped the Iraqi militias,’

Former Israeli officials discuss the possibility of Jerusalem targeting the Houthi leadership in the same way it took out other terror leaders from Hamas and Hezbollah.

Israel has paved the way for a decisive strike against Iran’s nuclear programme by eliminating swathes of Syria’s military infrastructure, according to officials speaking to The Telegraph following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

The Jewish state is ready “to strike at any time and in any place,” Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi warned Iran on Wednesday, speaking amid ongoing attacks by the Houthis and other Iranian proxies.

In the months that followed, Israel directly attacked Iran, assassinated Nasrallah and invaded southern Lebanon. In November it agreed to a US-backed ceasefire in Lebanon that enshrined its right to unilaterally enforce any alleged violations by Hezbollah.

Ismail Haniyeh led Gaza ceasefire talks when an explosive device planted by Israeli operatives weeks earlier killed him.

The fall of the Assad dynasty after 54 years in power, and the winding up of the Baath party, was a major setback for both Russia and Iran, which invested heavily in Bashar’s survival as he reeled from the local consequences of the Arab Spring.

TEL AVIV—Since the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, Israel has dealt a series of damaging setbacks to its most dangerous regional adversaries. It has hobbled Hamas in Gaza, severely damaged Shiite militia Hezbollah in Lebanon and fended off missile salvos from Tehran while landing its own blows in Iran.
