Syria intercepts missile and drone smuggling attempt targeting Hezbollah on a tanker
Syrian authorities successfully thwarted an attempt to smuggle a large cache of advanced weapons, including long-range missiles, anti-tank guided missiles, and drones, across the border with Iraq. The weapons were destined for Hezbollah in Lebanon. The operation took place at the Tanf crossing, inside an oil tank that was intercepted before crossing into Syrian territory, after monitoring a suspicious vehicle. Hezbollah denied the allegations, while Iraqi authorities announced the formation of a committee to investigate the incident as part of efforts to prevent arms smuggling and secure the borders. This is the first time since the new government’s arrival in 2024 that Syria has announced the foiling of a weapons smuggling attempt for Hezbollah across the Iraq border.
