Syrian security seizes missiles in Homs and a shipment of weapons for Hezbollah news

On Sunday, Syrian security forces seized a missile warehouse in one of the areas where the remnants of the ousted President Bashar al-Assad’s regime were concentrated in the city of Homs in the center of the country. The Syrian security forces also seized a shipment of weapons that was destined for the Lebanese Hezbollah.

The official Syrian News Agency (SANA) reported that the General Administration of Border Security seized the arms shipment that was heading to Lebanon via smuggling routes.

It also published a photo showing machine guns and individual shells carried among the contents of the seized shipment.

On the other hand, the Homs Channel (official) reported via the Telegram application that, “After monitoring and follow-up, the Public Security Department was able to seize missile warehouses inside one of the sites of the ousted regime in the Abbasiya neighborhood in Homs.”

Since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, the Military Operations Department of the new Syrian administration has opened settlement centers with members of the ousted regime to hand over their weapons, but the refusal of some of them led to confrontations in a number of the country’s governorates.

The Syrian opposition factions extended their control over the capital, Damascus, on December 8, 2024, days after controlling other cities, thus ending 61 years of bloody Baath Party rule and 53 years of the Assad family regime.

The leader of the new Syrian administration, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, announced the next day that Muhammad Al-Bashir had been assigned to form a government to manage the transitional phase.
