Israeli officials have concluded that Syria's president harbors intentions to expand control over portions of Lebanese territory, according to reporting from Israel's Channel 12.

The assessment reflects growing concerns among Israeli intelligence analysts regarding potential Syrian moves in the region. The evaluation suggests that the Syrian leadership views certain Lebanese areas as targets for influence or direct control.
