Israel’s military has said it carried out strikes overnight, which it claimed targeted Hezbollah “weapon-smuggling routes” on the Syria-Lebanon border, just over a week into a fragile ceasefire in its conflict with the Lebanese group.
According to AFP, official media in both Lebanon and Syria reported that the air raid put the Al-Arida border crossing — already hit during the Israel-Hezbollah conflict — out of service.
The Israeli air force “conducted strikes on weapon-smuggling routes and terror infrastructure sites located near the Syrian regime’s crossings at the Syrian-Lebanese border”, the military said in a statement that included a map identifying one of the targets as the Al-Arida crossing.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency said the strike “led to damage to infrastructure” and cut off the border road “again after the bridge was repaired” following a previous attack.
Israel has struck border crossings between Syria and Lebanon numerous times, insisting it aims to prevent weapons smuggling from Syria into Lebanon.
