In the early hours of Sunday, December 1, Israeli fighter jets intercepted an Iranian flight suspected of transporting arms to Hezbollah. The plane was ordered to change its course over Syria, which it did shortly after the demand.

Israeli military jets hit alleged Hezbollah weapons smuggling sites near the border crossing between Lebanon and Syria, according to officials, who allege the Lebanese militant group violated a ceasefire agreement.

Israeli aircraft struck Hezbollah weapons smuggling sites along Syria's border with Lebanon, the Israeli military said Saturday, testing a fragile, days-old ceasefire that has seen continued sporadic fire.

The Israeli strike came as unrest spread to other areas of the Middle East, with insurgents breaching Aleppo, Syria’s largest city.

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,
