  • Syria announced a large-scale security operation to close smuggling routes, focusing on Haweek and surrounding areas in western Homs province.

  • Sana reported at least three deaths on the Lebanese side and one fatality among Syria’s newly formed forces.

  • The regional commander said Syrian forces had seized farms, warehouses, laboratories, weapons and narcotics shipments, and counterfeit-currency presses.
  • Most smuggling gangs on the Lebanese border are affiliated with Hezbollah militia, whose presence now poses a threat at the Syrian border because it sponsors drug and weapon smugglers.
