Israel's airstrike on a Hezbollah-linked weapons facility in Syria has raised tensions after the recent ceasefire agreement mediated by the U.S. and France. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed the strike was in response to Hezbollah's attempts to transfer weapons from Syria to Lebanon, allegedly violating the truce. Despite the ceasefire, Israel vowed to take action against any threats to its security. This development comes amid rising accusations from both sides of ceasefire violations, with Israel conducting more strikes on southern Lebanon just days after the agreement was reached. The Israeli strike, carried out after identifying the transfer of arms, highlights the fragility of the peace accord as tensions remain high along the Israel-Lebanon border.
