IDF confirms: We attacked Hezbollah targets on the Syria-Lebanon border

Air Force fighter jets, guided by the Intelligence Division, targeted military infrastructure near the Jousiya border crossing in northern Bekaa last night. These infrastructures are used by the terrorist organization Hezbollah to transfer weapons from Syria to Lebanon.

The terrorist organization Hezbollah exploits civilian crossings, including the Jousiyeh crossing, to transfer weapons originating from Iran and transported through Syria. These means are intended for use in terrorist activities against the citizens of the State of Israel and IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon.

The Jouya crossing is under the control of the Syrian regime and operated by the Syrian military intelligence. The weapons are transferred by Unit 4400, Hezbollah's Reinforcement and Cooperation Unit, responsible for transferring these means from Iran through Syria.

The IDF will continue to act to thwart the transfer of Hezbollah's weaponry and calls on the authorities of Syria and Lebanon to prevent the use of civilian crossings for terrorist purposes.
