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.

“What does he want from this?” Santiago Vidal Calvo, a Manhattan Institute analyst, told JNS. “Is this a publicity stunt?”
“For years, UNRWA schools have incited violence against Israel, UNRWA employees actively participated in the Oct. 7 massacre and throughout the war, terrorists carried out attacks against Israelis from UNRWA facilities,” the Israeli envoy told JNS.
The intervention by once-hostile Ljubljana prevented a joint condemnation of Israeli construction east of Jerusalem, according to “EUobserver.”
“I know that the only way that I can have some measure of success is with God’s blessing, providence, direction and wisdom,” the rabbi, of Suburban Orthodox Toras Chaim in Baltimore, told JNS.
