On Wednesday, the Israeli army said ‘That it had carried out bombardments on positions of the Lebanese group Hezbollah in Syria in a bid to defeat its entrenchment in the country.
Repeatedly Israel has said it was also ready to confront Hezbollah and has stepped up strikes, including in Syria, in recent weeks.
‘The army had struck military infrastructure that based on precise intelligence was used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization on the Syrian front’, said an Israeli Defence Force.
Since the October 7 attack, Israel has been waging one major campaign against Hamas by the group last year and international concern has been expressed about the possible spread of the conflict.

The army stated that it holds the Syrian regime responsible for all activities which take place within its territory and will not allow for any actions which can lead to the entrenchment of Hezbollah on the Syrian front.
The statement further added, ‘In parallel, in the past hours, the IDF struck a number of Hezbollah observation posts and terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon’.
