The IDF confirms launching airstrikes on the Syria-Lebanon border this evening, targeting what it says were routes used by Hezbollah to smuggle Iranian weapons.
Syria’s state news agency SANA said the strikes damaged several bridges in the Al-Qusayr area, and wounded two people.
The Israeli military says the strikes come as part of efforts against Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is tasked with delivering weapons from Iran and its proxies to Lebanon, via Syria and Iraq.
