JERUSALEM, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Air Force jets on Monday conducted intelligence-based strikes on Syrian "smuggling routes" along the Syria-Lebanon border, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Monday.
The IDF noted that the routes were used for smuggling weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
"This is another step in the IDF's ongoing efforts to degrade the capabilities of Hezbollah's Unit 4400, which is responsible for smuggling weapons used in terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF forces," the statement read.
Earlier on Monday, the IDF said it had struck military command centers of Hezbollah's Executive Council in Beirut's southern suburb of Dahieh. ■
