Official: Israel Has Struck Dozens of Hezbollah Targets in Syria

Hezbollah has not yet responded to statements that over the past three years, the Israeli army has attacked dozens of Hezbollah targets in Syria, a senior Israeli security official said on Saturday.

This is surprising since the attacks severely hampered the organization’s logistical and operational efforts to establish itself in the southern Golan Heights and the border triangle with Jordan.

Sources affirmed that the Israeli army maintains a high deterrent capability against the Shiite group.

Hezbollah, with the help of Iran, is preparing for the possibility of attacking the home front and Israeli army soldiers stationed on the border with Syria in the future, they added.

Some of its weapons came from Iran by sea, and some by land or air via convoys to the Syrian Golan Heights.

In some places, operatives working in the name of Hezbollah managed to set up weapons depots that the Israeli Air Force attacked, according to foreign publications, and destroyed them.
