Israeli fighter jets struck weapons depots and command centers belonging to Hezbollah in Syria a short while ago, the IDF says.

The strikes were carried out in the al-Qusayr area, close to Lebanon’s border with Syria.

The sites belonged to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force and the terror group’s armament unit, according to the military.

The armament unit is responsible for storing weapons in Lebanon, and according to the IDF, it recently expanded its activities to Syria, where it stored weapons in al-Qusayr.

The strikes come as part of the IDF’s efforts to prevent weapon transfers from Iran to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
