The IDF emphasized that Hezbollah “exploits the Jousieh civilian crossing, which is under the control of the Syrian regime and is operated by Syrian military security, to transfer weapons.”
The airstrike specifically targeted infrastructure linked to Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, known for its smuggling operations. The military released footage showing the damage inflicted on the crossing, located near the Lebanese town of Qaa.
This operation is part of a broader strategy by Israel to disrupt the flow of arms from Iran to Hezbollah amid escalating regional tensions.
