The IDF confirms launching airstrikes against the Jusiyah Crossing on the Syrian-Lebanon border last night, after it was being used by Hezbollah to transport weapons.

The crossing had been struck already once before by the IDF, last month.

The military says fighter jets hit military infrastructure in the vicinity of the crossing, which “are used by the Hezbollah terror organization to transfer weapons from Syria to Lebanon.”

Israel has struck several other crossings between Lebanon and Syria in recent months amid efforts by Iran to supply Hezbollah with weapons.
