Israeli Airstrikes on Border Crossings Between Syria and Lebanon

The Israeli army announced on Friday, December 7, that its air force conducted strikes on Thursday night, December 6, targeting "weapons smuggling routes" and "terrorist infrastructures" near border crossings between Syria and Lebanon. According to the Israeli army's Telegram channel, Hezbollah was using these crossings for "weapons smuggling." The Israeli army stated that this attack is part of its ongoing efforts to eliminate "weapons smuggling routes" between Syria and Lebanon over the past few weeks, adding that these targeted attacks reduce the capabilities of Hezbollah's Unit 4400, which is responsible for smuggling weapons used in terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and the army. The report also indicated that the "terrorist organization Hezbollah, with the support of the Syrian regime, utilizes civilian infrastructures to carry out terrorist activities and weapons smuggling aimed at harming Israeli civilians." The Israeli army declared that it would continue its actions to eliminate any threats against the country that violate the general outlines of the recent ceasefire agreement and would not allow the revival of the terrorist organization Hezbollah. The Lebanese ceasefire: Was it a defeat for the Islamic Republic or Israel? U.S. intelligence indicates that Hezbollah is seeking to rebuild itself following the killing of a Hezbollah representative in the Syrian army due to an Israeli airstrike.
