Syria Secretly Prepares to Act Against Hezbollah in Lebanon Despite Official Denials

Despite Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's public rejection of U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to act against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Syria's security apparatus is reportedly developing covert operational plans targeting the group. According to a Syrian security source close to the Damascus regime, these plans are being formulated behind the scenes and are ready to be implemented if necessary. The source added that senior officials in Syria's security establishment have received explicit instructions to counter any Hezbollah presence on Syrian territory and to thwart it. This development follows repeated statements by President Trump suggesting that Assad is the most suitable figure to address the Hezbollah threat in Lebanon, instead of Israeli military actions.
