JANUARY 2025: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Syria says it stopped weapons smuggling to Hezbollah

 Syria says it stopped weapons smuggling to Hezbollah

"For the second time in two weeks, the Syrian government announced it prevented a shipment of arms to Lebanon.

This is a significant development. It highlights how the new leaders are seeking to interdict smuggling and show the region it is serious. There is likely some implicit messaging in this to Israel as well that the Jewish state can trust the new government in Syria to stop the flow of weapons to its enemies.
The statement from the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) is short. It says, “The General Administration of Border Security, following monitoring and surveillance, has seized a shipment of weapons destined for Hezbollah in Lebanon. The weapons were being smuggled through the Syrian-Lebanese border via the city of Serghaya in [the] Damascus countryside.”
