JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel will attack any attempt to bring weapons to Hezbollah from Syria, Israel’s military spokesperson said on Thursday.
“We are identifying rockets and other weapons that Hezbollah is launching at Israeli territory that were manufactured in Syria,” Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told reporters. “We will attack every attempt to bring weapons from Syria to Hezbollah. And we will attack all infrastructure we identify in Syria whose purpose is to produce weapons for Hezbollah.”
He added that the military has been carrying out air strikes from Beirut suburb and Hezbollah stronghold Dahiyeh to Damascus.
He was speaking shortly after Syria’s state news agency reported what it said was an Israeli air strike that hit a bridge in Syria near the border with northern Lebanon.
