DAMASCUS, Feb 23 (NNN-SANA) – The Zionist Israeli military, said yesterday, it conducted airstrikes targeting border crossings between Syria and Lebanon, accusing Hezbollah of using the routes to smuggle weapons into Lebanon.
In a statement, the Zionist Defence Forces (IDF) alleged, the crossings were exploited by Hezbollah “in attempts to illegally transfer arms,” calling such activities “a blatant violation of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon” effective since Nov 27, 2024.
The IDF vowed to “continue operating to neutralise threats to the regime” and prevent Hezbollah, which it labelled a “terrorist organisation,” from “rebuilding its military capabilities.”
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said, the Zionist Israeli strikes hit locations in Syria’s rugged Qalamoun region, near the Lebanese border. The monitor described the sites as historically significant for Hezbollah’s alleged arms transfers from Syria to Lebanon.– NNN-SANA
