Syrian authorities intercept weapons shipment en route to Hezbollah
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Hayat Tahrir al Sham is not inclined to aid and abet Iran’s plotting with Hezbollah against Israel.
The Syrian Ministry of Interior announced on Sunday the interception of a weapons shipment intended for smuggling into Hezbollah in Lebanon.

According to the state-run SANA news agency, the weapons were seized along smuggling routes near the Syrian-Lebanese border in the city of Serghaya, located in the Damascus countryside.

The operation was conducted by the General Directorate of Border Security following surveillance and monitoring efforts.

On Jan. 17, the Tartus General Security Directorate of Syria’s new administration reported foiling a similar attempt to smuggle weapons into Lebanon through illegal crossings.

The confiscated items included various weapons and rockets, intercepted before reaching Lebanese territory.
The Times of Israel has a photo of the confiscated weapons in question, and adds:
Images showed several assault rifles, RPG launchers, and ammunition.

Earlier this month, Syrian authorities said they captured a shipment of rifles, Iranian-made drones, and other weapons they said were headed to Lebanon, but at the time did not explicitly mention Hezbollah.

Active Syrian efforts to prevent weapon transfers to Hezbollah would represent a significant turnaround after years of enabling such shipments under the former Bashar al-Assad regime, though it was unclear whether the latest captures represented a broad shift in policy.
