Iran International:

The Israeli military launched its latest airstrike on the Syria-Lebanon border on Monday targeting what it described as Iranian smuggling routes used by Hezbollah.

The Israeli military posted to X that a series of airstrikes over an unspecified time period attacked the route Iran has been using to supply Hezbollah’s elite unit 4400 with weapons with the oversight of Syria's Military Security.

The route is allegedly used for storing weapons in Syrian military warehouses prior to their transfer to Lebanon.

The Syrian Military Security Unit plays a key role in supplying weapons to Iran's proxies in the region, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said, adding that the strikes come as part of efforts against Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is the body responsible for transporting weapons from Iran and other regional allies to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

It was headed by Muhammad Ja’far Qasir, who was wanted by the US State Department before Israel assassinated him on October 1, 2024.

“The IDF remains committed to countering Iran’s efforts to arm its terrorist proxies across the region,” the tweet read.
