Israel conducted an airstrike last night near the Lebanon-Syria border, resulting in the deaths of five Syrian soldiers. Reports from Arab media indicate that the Israeli military targeted a Syrian army checkpoint following drone attacks that originated from Syria.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the airstrike aimed at infrastructure used for transferring weapons from Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon. The IDF claimed this infrastructure facilitated the movement of arms to the militant group.
This airstrike follows a drone attack by resistance forces in Syria that targeted Israel’s Eilat port, injuring two individuals. The escalation of hostilities highlights the ongoing tensions between the two sides, which continue to exchange strikes.
The situation remains dynamic, with international observers closely watching developments along the volatile Syria-Lebanon border. Israel has consistently expressed its commitment to preventing Hezbollah from acquiring more arms.
