In a dramatic turn of events, Israel's military announced on Tuesday that it launched airstrikes targeting weapons storage facilities in Syria used by Hezbollah—Lebanon's militant group and political party.
According to the Israeli military statement, the strikes hit \"weapons storage facilities used by Hezbollah's munitions unit in the area of Al-Qusayr in Syria.\" The munitions unit has reportedly ramped up its activities near Al-Qusayr, close to the Syria-Lebanon border. 🗺️
Earlier in the day, Syrian state television reported that an Israeli airstrike had struck the industrial zone of Al-Qusayr in central Syria's Homs province. The attack caused material damage, and residential buildings nearby were also affected. No casualties have been reported so far. 🏘️
Ramez Saadeh, head of the Al-Qusayr City Council, confirmed that industrial facilities were damaged but details are still emerging. \"Assessments are ongoing,\" he stated.
These latest strikes come just a day after Israel reportedly targeted a site used as Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters in Damascus. 📡
Israel's military operations in Syria have intensified recently, mainly focusing on what it identifies as arms shipments and military infrastructure linked to Iran and Hezbollah—the regional rivals of Israel. The tension in the Middle East is heating up, and all eyes are watching closely. 🔥🌍
