Israeli army claims to have destroyed bunkers, weapons near Lebanon-Syria border

The Israeli military says its forces have discovered the “central headquarters” of the former Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad at Mount Hermon in Syria’s occupied Golan Heights near the border with Lebanon.

“The forces located military infrastructure of the old regime, bunkers and numerous weapons, including cannons, launchers, mortars, rockets, explosive charges and mines,” it said in a statement. “All the resources were destroyed or confiscated by the forces.”

The Israeli military, which continues to occupy parts of Syria, including the Golan Heights, has continued to launch attacks across the country despite international condemnation.
