An Israeli airstrike has attacked an informal crossing in the Wadi Khaled area along the Lebanese-Syrian border.

According to reports, the strike was part of a broader military operation aimed at countering perceived threats from Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group known to operate in the region.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the attack on the area surrounding Homs in Syria, stating that the purpose was to target routes used by Hezbollah for transferring weapons into Lebanon.

The military emphasized its ongoing commitment to neutralizing threats to Israel and preventing Hezbollah from establishing a stronger foothold near its borders.

Local Syrian and Lebanese platforms have circulated videos depicting explosions that they attributed to the Israeli airstrike on non-official crossing points in the Wadi Khaled border region.

However, it has not been possible to independently verify these videos.

In recent months, Israel has intensified its airstrikes on locations near the border crossings between Syria and Lebanon.

The Israeli government has articulated that these operations are crucial for preventing Hezbollah from moving military assets, including advanced weaponry, from Syria into Lebanon.

The strikes have also reportedly targeted residential buildings in various districts, including Damascus and Homs, particularly in areas close to Lebanon.

This military escalation underscores the heightened tensions in the region, with both sides remaining vigilant amid ongoing conflicts.
