Israel Accuses Syrian Regime of Facilitating Iranian Arms Transfer to Hezbollah

The Israeli army announced Monday its responsibility for "large-scale" attacks on targets in Syria and Lebanon, directly accusing the Syrian regime of complicity in transferring Iranian weapons.

The Israeli military statement revealed Syrian officials' involvement through two main methods: providing Syrian army warehouses for temporary weapons storage and facilitating internal crossings managed by Syrian Military Security Unit.

The statement reported that Iran, collaborating with Hezbollah, established secret routes through Syrian territory decades ago, using thousands of trucks and hundreds of aircraft to transport missiles and weapons components.

Israeli strikes targeted a 3.5-kilometer strategic tunnel built over ten years, and destroyed vital bridges in Al-Qusayr area connecting Syrian regions to Lebanese borders.

Israel announced assassinating "Unit-4400" commander Mohammed Jaafar Qaseer in Beirut and his successor Ali Hassan Gharib in Damascus, accusing the unit of handling Iranian weapons transfers since its 2000 establishment.

Local sources confirmed complete destruction of several bridges in Al-Qusayr area, including Al-Joubaniya, Arjoun, and Al-Nazariya bridges, plus targeting sites at Al-Dabaa Airport and Jousiyeh and Matraba crossings.

SANA agency reported two civilians injured in Israeli airstrikes launched from Lebanese airspace, targeting crossing points on Syrian-Lebanese border.

The Israeli military vowed to continue operations to monitor and thwart Iran's attempts to arm regional proxies, indicating continued targeting of weapons transfer networks.

These operations occur amid ongoing Israeli escalation against Hezbollah and Syrian allies, focusing on cutting supply lines and destroying weapons transfer infrastructure.

The operations' scale and details reflect Israel's precise intelligence about weapons transfer networks and infrastructure, with clear accusations of Syrian regime's facilitation role.
