The new Syrian government has implemented a ban on all Iranian aircraft, including both military and civilian flights, from flying over its airspace. This decision, reported by Israeli news outlet Walla, marks a significant shift in Syria's stance towards Iran, which has historically maintained close ties with the country. Israeli security officials have expressed concern regarding the new regime's unclear position towards Israel, despite the ban on Iranian flights. The implications of this ban could complicate Hezbollah's military operations in the region, as it restricts their logistical capabilities.
