Syrian Forces Stop Hezbollah Rocket Smuggling

On June 7, 2025, Syrian security forces captured a weapons smuggling cell in the Syrian town of Talkalakh, located near the border between Syria and northern Lebanon. The capture of the smuggling cell thwarted an attempt to smuggle 200 Iranian-made 107mm rockets intended for Hezbollah in Lebanon (see on the right side of the visual). Iranian rockets of this type, which are well known to be used by Hezbollah, were seized by the IDF during the ground maneuver in southern Lebanon and were displayed at a captured weapons exhibition held by the IDF in December 2024 (see on the left side of the visual). Along the approximately 400 km border between Lebanon and Syria, there are over 130 smuggling routes.
