🔶 Jerusalem Post: Ahmed Sharia is secretly strengthening the Syrian army
The Jerusalem Post reported that Ahmed Sharia, the current president of Syria, is focused on creating a strong army in this country.
According to the security assessments of the captives, according to the security assessments of the captives, Ahmed Sharia allocated most of Syria's financial resources, from tax revenues to international aid to "the creation of a large standing army and the purchase of weapons systems."
According to these assessments: "Instead of investing in infrastructure, rebuilding the country or improving the living conditions of the people who have gone through 15 years of war, the Syrian government focuses on strengthening its military power and at the same time tries to hide its military development strategy from others."
The Jerusalem Post saw this process as "increasing concern and sounding alarm bells among Israel's intelligence and security institutions." Of course, according to the estimates of the captured army, Ahmed Sharia's operational plans were developed when he determined that he was able to take military action against Lebanon's Hezbollah, which according to these sources he "dislikes", as well as against "Shiite militias close to Iran in Iraq".
