Ahmed al-Sharaa diverting Syrian funds to build up military forces, weapon systems

How bad is it really? I have some doubts about this story!

"Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has been diverting most of the country's resources, from tax revenues to international aid, toward building a large standing army and acquiring weapons systems, according to Israeli security assessments.

Instead of investing in infrastructure, rebuilding the country, or improving the welfare of civilians who suffered through 15 years of war, the extremist regime [???] is focusing on an arms buildup while working to conceal its military expansion strategy. The development is raising concern and red flags within the intelligence community. ...

A future confrontation is only a matter of time, security sources assess."
