CENTCOM head says Syria recently blocked several arms shipments to Hezbollah

The head of United States Central Command praised Syrian security forces for intercepting several weapons shipments destined for Hezbollah in Lebanon. The statement comes amid ongoing efforts by the United States and its regional partners to disarm Hezbollah and promote stability in the Middle East. Details about the interdicted shipments remain unclear, but Syrian authorities recently reported stopping a smuggling attempt involving hundreds of landmines.

These developments follow significant regional shifts, including the ouster of Syria's former president and a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah after a year of conflict. The new Lebanese government has pledged to maintain control over all arms within its borders, signaling increased pressure on Hezbollah. Meanwhile, Israel continues to monitor the situation closely, conducting airstrikes and engaging in direct talks with Lebanon to uphold the ceasefire.
