The military also confirmed launching strikes on the Syrian side of the Lebanon-Syria border, described as part of ongoing efforts to disrupt arms transfers to Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, in Syria, Islamist opposition forces continued their offensive on the city of Aleppo, with reports from the Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen network claiming the rebels had taken control of 60% of the key city. The rebels reportedly enforced a curfew, removed Syrian, Hezbollah and Iranian flags, and raised their own banners.
Amid the fighting, Russian and Syrian air forces launched counterstrikes, while the Syrian regime shut down roads leading to Aleppo's airport in an effort to counter the rebel advance.
