Tel Aviv [Israel], January 15 (HBTV): Following the fall of Syria's former President Bashar al-Assad in mid-December last year, Israeli forces claimed to have seized more than 3,300 pieces of weaponry, according to Al Jazeera.

The weapons include army tanks, antitank and RPG launchers, shells, mortars, mortar bombs, surveillance equipment, and other arms, as per the military.

This development is part of Israel's broader effort to secure its borders and combat threats from neighboring countries. Across all combat zones in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, Israel's military claims to have seized 170,000 weapons and other items.

Meanwhile, Syria's new government, which ended Bashar al-Assad's family's decades-long rule last month, is seeking investment from wealthy Gulf states to rebuild the country's infrastructure and economy, according to Al Jazeera.

Syria's economy has been severely impacted by over a decade of war, and the government hopes to attract investment to stimulate economic recovery.

After 13 years of war and widespread corruption, Syria's healthcare infrastructure is in shambles, as reported by Al Jazeera. The new government is also meeting with foreign officials for economic recovery and to build distinguished partnerships with other nations.

Recently, Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa met with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, and the two leaders discussed ways to enable Syrian refugees in Lebanon to return home. Al-Sharaa leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Islamist group that spearheaded the lightning offensive that toppled the decades-long rule of Bashar al-Assad, according to the New York Times.

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani is also planning foreign visits, which include Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi visit comes as the new government, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, works to revive a devastated health system, which has been in ruins after 13 years of war and plagued by nepotism and corruption.
