Israeli security has expressed concern about Syrian rebels seizing strategic weapons in Aleppo following the flight of President Assad. Possible weapons include chemical weapons, tanks, and airplanes. The infrastructure for the production of missiles and other weapons created for Hezbollah and the militias is important.
Speculation that the rebels could turn their firepower on Israel is keeping defense agencies on alert. Their extremist ideology, combined with weapons, can quickly become a threat to the country's security. Iran's involvement in suppressing the uprising also raises concerns, increasing Tehran's influence over the Syrian regime.
There are increasing calls among Sunni states for Assad to separate from the “axis of evil” and return to the Arab League. Iran wants to prevent the fall of its ally, but meanwhile there is growing interest in investments that could give a new chance to Syria.
