The Israeli Army said Wednesday that Israeli military planes were involved in an attack carried out in November against a convoy allegedly carrying Iranian weapons on the Syria-Iraq border.

The head of the Israeli army, Aviv Kohavi, has indicated that Israel “could not have known anything weeks ago about the Syrian convoy that entered Syria from Iraq.” “We might not have known anything about what was inside and we might not have known that, of the 25 trucks, there was a target,” he added.

“Truck number eight was the one that carried weapons, and pilots must be sent to the area as well,” Kohavi stressed, according to the Israeli newspaper ‘Haaretz’. The attack left at least ten dead, including members of pro-Iranian militias backing Damascus.

He has also stated that Israel’s “war between wars” has not always prevented Iran from delivering weapons to Syria and the Lebanese Shiite militia party Hezbollah, although he has stressed that Tehran has not managed to create “a new Hezbollah” in the Highlands. of the Golan, as reported by the newspaper ‘The Jerusalem Post’.

Israel generically recognizes attacks to prevent the delivery of Iranian weapons to Hezbollah, an ally of Tehran, but not concrete actions. It also maintains a precarious diplomatic balance between Russia, which effectively controls Syrian airspace, and its Western allies, which support Ukraine.
