The IDF confirms carrying out airstrikes in Syria a short while ago, targeting Hezbollah weapon depots.
The weapon depots used by Hezbollah were struck by fighter jets in the al-Qusayr area in western Syria, close to the border with Lebanon.
The IDF says Hezbollah’s armament unit is responsible for storing weapons in Lebanon, and it recently expanded its activities to Syria, storing weapons in al-Qusayr.
