An Israeli airstrike was carried out near the western Syrian city of al-Qusayr a short while ago, according to various Arab media outlets, citing reports in Syria.
Al-Qusayr is located close to the border with Lebanon, and the reported strike comes as Israel has vowed to prevent arms smuggling from Iran to Hezbollah.
In recent days, several IDF strikes have been carried out on the Syria-Lebanon border, aimed at preventing weapons from being transferred to Hezbollah.
