Israeli defense minister Moshe Yaalon said on Wednesday that the Zionist entity was closely monitoring situation in Syria, adding that Tel Aviv will continue to maintain its red lines on Syria, including transferring advanced arms to Hezbollah.

Speaking at the parliamentary foreign and defense committee, Yaalon said Israel was closely monitoring the situation in Syria and the regime's moves to dismantle its chemical arms.

"So far the regime is upholding its commitment," he said in remarks relayed by his office.

"We are following the issue, and continue to maintain our red lines on Syria -- not to allow the transfer of advanced Syrian weapons to hostile hands, especially Hezbollah," he said.

Yaalon said Israel would "not allow the passage of chemical weapons, which until now they haven't even tried to transfer."
