Israel bombs Lebanon-Syria border, citing Hezbollah ‘weapons smuggling’

The Israeli army confirmed on Thursday that its fighter jets targeted what it said were “crossing points” on the Lebanon-Syria border, allegedly used by Hezbollah to smuggle weapons.

Israel described the strikes as a response to “a blatant violation of ceasefire agreements” and vowed to continue operations to “remove any threat” and prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding its capabilities.

Critics condemn these actions as aggressive provocations that violate Lebanon’s sovereignty and destabilise the region.
