The chief of the Israeli Air Force, Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, says preventing all weapon transfers from Iran to Hezbollah is now a top priority.

“We in Lebanon are now going to prevent any possibility of weapon transfers from Iran, in the face of what we have taken away so far from Hezbollah,” Bar says during a meeting with officers at the Tel Nof Airbase today.

“This is a mission that is becoming the first in the order of priorities,” he says.

The IDF says Bar also participated in airstrikes in Lebanon today with the 133rd Squadron.
