The Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes on Syrian military infrastructure near border crossings between Syria and Lebanon, targeting sites actively used by Hezbollah for weapons smuggling. The strikes were carried out following the identification of weapon transfers to Hezbollah, even after a ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel had been established. The Israeli military confirmed the operation, stating that the targeted infrastructure was being used in violation of the ceasefire terms. This action tests the stability of the recent ceasefire, which has already seen sporadic fire despite halting months of fighting between the involved parties.
