Israel today confirmed air strikes on facilities at the Janta crossing on the Syrian-Lebanese border, claiming they were used to transfer weaponry to Hezbollah.

In a statement, the Israeli occupation army said that its air forces “carried out air strikes on infrastructure at the Janta crossing on the Syrian-Lebanese border which had been used to transfer weapons from Syria to Hezbollah.”

The Janta crossing is located on the Lebanese side of the border.

Israel claimed that “Hezbollah’s Unit 4400 is responsible for smuggling weapons from Iran and its proxies to Lebanon.”

Israel has violated the terms of the ceasefire it signed with Lebanon in November more than 300 times, leading to 32 deaths and injuring 32 people.

News reports have now revealed that occupation forces may not retreat from Lebanese land within the 60-day period outlined in the ceasefire.
