Israeli Air Force jets on Saturday attacked terrorist infrastructure along the Syria-Lebanon border that Hezbollah was “actively using” to smuggle arms.

“The strike was conducted after identifying the transfer of weapons to Hezbollah from Syria to Lebanon, even after the ceasefire agreement, constituting a threat to the State of Israel and a violation of the terms of the truce,” the IDF said.

The military accused the Iranian proxy, with the backing of the Assad regime, of smuggling weapons through civilian crossing points.

“The IDF will continue to act to eliminate all threats to the State of Israel that contravene the terms of the ceasefire agreement,” the army said.

On Thursday, the IAF attacked a Hezbollah rocket facility in Lebanon after detecting terrorist activity in violation of the truce.

Meanwhile, an Israel Navy ship on Saturday intercepted a drone over the Mediterranean Sea that was launched at the Jewish state from “the east,” a term the military uses for Iraq.

No air-raid sirens were activated as the UAV did not pose a threat to populated areas.

Overnight, the IAF downed another drone believed to have been fired by Iranian terrorist proxies in Iraq.
