Hezbollah calls Syria's changes a major and dangerous transformation

Hezbollah has described recent events in Syria as a "major, dangerous and new transformation." This marks the group's first response to the fall of its ally, Bashar al-Assad, who has been a key supporter during the Syrian conflict. The loss of Assad has weakened Hezbollah's position, as Syria has been crucial for Iran to supply weapons to the group. Hezbollah had previously redeployed its fighters back to Lebanon to engage in conflict with Israel. Syrian armed groups, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, took control of Damascus, forcing Assad to flee to Russia. A ceasefire in Lebanon began on November 27, following a year of hostilities with Israel.
