Syrian media reported on Monday that internal security forces in the city of Homs had seized a significant cache of weapons and rockets near the Syrian-Lebanese border, in what is believed to be a foiled smuggling operation coordinated with Hezbollah.
According to reports, the intercepted shipment included automatic weapons and rockets, which were allegedly intended for Hezbollah. The seizure took place in a rural area near the border, though specific details about the location and those involved remain unclear.
The discovery followed an earlier announcement by Al-Hadath TV channel on Sunday evening, which reported the unearthing of a weapons depot close to the Lebanese border. The cache reportedly included a wide array of military-grade equipment stored in preparation for cross-border transfer.
While initial reports pointed to Hezbollah as the intended recipient of the arms, Syrian authorities have not yet issued an official statement confirming the identities of those responsible for the stockpile or providing further information on the scope of the operation.
The incident has once again raised alarms about the continued movement of arms across the porous Syrian-Lebanese border.
