Lebanon and Syria border weapons smuggling issues
Repeated efforts have been carried out in Syria to intercept arms shipments intended for smuggling into Lebanon, including various rockets and drones, aimed at supporting Hezbollah and undermining arms smuggling operations across the border. During inspection operations, 226 RPG rounds, long-range missile shipments, and anti-tank missiles were confiscated, with confirmation that these weapons were intended to move from Iraq through Syria to Lebanon. These attempts are part of Iran's strategy to deepen its influence in the region, amid escalating tensions along the Syria-Lebanon border, where Damascus affirms its sovereignty and works to prevent the use of its territory for arms smuggling or to threaten its security and that of its neighbors.
