The IDF says it carried out airstrikes earlier today against land crossings between Lebanon and Syria, which were being used by Hezbollah to bring weapons into the country.
Israeli fighter jets struck several routes in Syria that the IDF says were in use by Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is tasked with delivering weapons from Iran to Lebanon.
Syria’s state-run SANA news agency, citing a military source, says the strikes caused “significant damage” to several bridges on the Orontes River and other roads on the Syrian-Lebanese border in the al-Qusayr area.
According to the IDF, the strikes are a major blow to the capabilities of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400.
The IDF in recent months has ramped up strikes against attempts by Hezbollah to bring in weapons, including by targeting border crossings with Syria as well as the shipments themselves.
