Syrian Military Says Israel Launched Aerial Attacks From Lebanon Targeting Bridges And Roads After Israel Intercepts Drone From Syrian Territory
Israeli Military: In recent months, the IDF has been carrying out strikes to reduce the transfer of weapons from Iran, through Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
DAMASCUS - The Syrian military has reported through the country's state media that Israel carried out an aerial attack from Lebanon and targeted bridges along the Orontes River, and roads along the Syrian - Lebanese border in al-Qusayr in the Homes countryside.
According to SANA, the aerial attacks caused "significant damage" to a number of bridges and roads along Syria's border with Lebanon, "putting them out of service".
The news agency cited the Syrian military as saying, “At around 8:05 p.m. on Wednesday, the Israeli enemy launched an aerial act of aggression from the direction of Lebanese territory, targeting bridges on the Orontes River and roads on the Syrian-Lebanese border in al-Qusayr area in Homs countryside".
IDF: Over the past week, the IAF struck and dismantled over 140 Hezbollah launchers in southern Lebanon. These launchers posed an immediate threat to Israeli civilians and IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon.
Among the launchers struck was the launcher from which projectiles were fired toward the Western Galilee area last night (Wednesday), as well as the launchers from which projectiles were fired toward central Israel yesterday (Wednesday) and on Tuesday.
Additionally, the IAF struck and eliminated a battalion operations commander and a battalion anti-tank missiles commander in Hezbollah's Radwan Forces in the coastal region on Tuesday. Additionally, a company commander in the Radwan Forces was also eliminated.
Over the past week, the IDF eliminated over 200 Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon from the air and ground.
These strikes further degrade Hezbollah's capability to carry out terror attacks from southern Lebanon against Israeli civilians on the northern border. The IDF will continue to operate to thwart any danger or threat against the State of Israel.
