Iranian Plane Suspected of Ferrying Arms to Hizbullah Blocked by Israel Air Force over Syria
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - An Iranian flight suspected to be ferrying arms to Hizbullah was blocked by the Israeli Air Force over Syria on Saturday night. IAF fighter jets flew up to the Iranian plane and ordered it to turn around, which it did. The interception of the flight is part of Israel's efforts to prevent Iranian weapons from reaching Hizbullah during the ceasefire. In recent months, the IDF has caused a number of Iranian flights to make U-turns over Syrian or Iraqi airspace when they were suspected of carrying weapons to Hizbullah.
