As soon as President Bashar al-Assad left Syria, Hezbollah's position started weakening. Hezbollah's main supply line of fighters etc. in Syria has been cut off. Hezbollah leader Naeem Qasim has said that after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's power in Syria, its main supply line has been cut off, but it can find other ways to bring weapons.

The Lebanese armed group has temporarily lost its arms supply route through Syria following the recent fall of Bashar al-Assad's government. Qassem made this statement in his first television address on Saturday after the fall of Assad's government.

Hezbollah will find new ways

He said the supply route could be restored once a new regime is established, or Hezbollah could look for alternative routes. "A new regime could come and this route could become normal, and we could look for other routes," Qassim said. Hezbollah began intervening in Syria in 2013 to help crush Assad's rebels.

Hezbollah was Assad's main backer and has sent thousands of fighters to Syria over the past decade to help fight rebels. For decades, Hezbollah has relied on Syria as a conduit for weapons from Iran. In November alone, Israel carried out several attacks on border crossings between Lebanon and Syria.

Syria should not recognize Israel-Naeem Qasim

The Hezbollah chief also said Syria's new rulers should not recognise or establish relations with neighbouring Israel. "We hope this new party in power will see Israel as an enemy and will not normalise relations with it," Qassim said.

Threat of escalation of tension in the region

Leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, also known by his stage name Abu Mohammad al-Julani, said on Saturday that Israel had no more excuses to carry out airstrikes in Syria and that recent IDF attacks on Syrian soil had endangered Israel, threatening to escalate tensions in the region.
