Israel’s military confirmed Tuesday it launched airstrikes on alleged Hezbollah weapons storage facilities near Syria’s Lebanon border, escalating regional tensions. The strikes targeted areas around Al-Qusayr in Homs province, where Syrian state media reported damage to industrial zones and residential buildings 🏗️💔.
The Israeli military claimed the operation aimed to disrupt Hezbollah’s “munitions unit,” which they say has expanded operations in the area. “This is about protecting Israeli security,” read an official statement, though no casualties were reported 🔍🚨.
Local officials like Al-Qusayr City Council head Ramez Saadeh acknowledged damage but offered no specifics. The strikes follow Monday’s attack on a Hezbollah-linked site in Damascus, part of Israel’s intensified campaign against Iranian-backed groups in Syria 🎯⚡.
Analysts note a surge in Israeli military activity targeting arms shipments and infrastructure tied to Tehran and its allies. With cross-border tensions simmering, many fear further escalation could destabilize the region 🌐🔥.
