Syrian authorities seized a shipment of weapons heading to the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon, the official SANA news agency says.

According to SANA, the shipment was heading to Hezbollah via smuggling routes on the Lebanon-Syria border, in the area of the border city of Sarghaya.

Earlier this month, Syrian authorities said they captured a shipment of rifles, Iranian-made drones, and other weapons that was heading to Hezbollah.
