Israeli Official Warns of Iran's Attempt to Escalate Conflict in Syria

A senior Israeli official has accused Iran of attempting to deploy weapons in Syria to target Israel on the northern front, potentially expanding the conflict in the Middle East. Israel allegedly launched an airstrike on Syria's Aleppo Airport, which is known as a transit point for Iranian arms sent to Hezbollah. The official's claims come after reports suggested Iran helped Hamas plan the recent rocket attack on Israel. Iran's foreign minister warned that the war could expand to other parts of the Middle East if Hezbollah joins, causing a "huge earthquake" for Israel.
