Syria says it foiled attempt to smuggle rifles, drones into Lebanon via illegal border crossing
2025-01-18
[IsraelTimes] Syria’s public security directorate announces that it foiled an attempt to smuggle arms into Lebanon via an illegal border crossing in the Tartous area.

Images released by Syrian media show a shipment of rifles, grenade launchers, Iranian Shahed drones, and other weapons that were captured and seized by authorities.

Israel has been concerned that weapons from the former Assad regime in Syria could be sent to the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon. The IDF has also struck several border crossings between Syria and Lebanon to prevent arms from reaching the Lebanese terror group.
