Military Intelligence chief Major-General Aviv Kochavi said Wednesday that the "radical axis is working to retain its power and as time goes by Iran and Hezbollah are boosting their efforts to aid the Assad regime."
Kochavi added that Iran and Hezbollah supply information, weapons and other means to Syrian President Bashar Assad ."It is possible that the winds of change carry an opportunity and a message but on the short to medium term the risks are climbing. We will have to prepare to a rising threat level," he said.
